Summary

This week’s podcast is 8 tips on indicators—or probably more but I’m calling it 8 and sticking to it. We’ll talk about types, depth, how to rig, weights, and a couple special tricks on how to slow down the drift of your nymphs. In The Fly Box, we range from how to prepare for a saltwater trip to barbless hooks to sunken terrestrials to rod/reel balance. And lots more—even without a special guest I rambled for over an hour this week so I hope I can cover at least one of your daily commutes or a lawn mowing session.

backyard and all that getting cussed out for being a bad teacher well worth it and the smile on her face

0:53.8

is worth every second of it. But the problem was we couldn't afford to buy our good pair of

waiters so she was in a slightly leaky pair of men's size large waiters with a pair of a size 12

1:06.0

boot and the problem is she's about 5 or 110 pounds so she was literally swimming at him trying to put on enough pair of

enough they emailed her and she won a pair of waiters it was perfect we went up and got her

set up with a pair of women's convertible tops and she looks really good in them. They
