Welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast with Tom Rosenbauer,

bringing you tips, tricks and techniques to help you get the most of your time on the water. Here's your host, a claimed fly fishing

author and lifelong fly fishing enthusiast Tom Rosenberg.

So we're live on Facebook.

Here we are waiting for your questions and by the way I hope that we have some

bizarre or controversial questions.

Let's not just hold this to, I have a nine foot leader

and I want to, a 9 foot 5X leader and I want to put 6x tip it on it what do I do let's have some

let's have some interesting stuff because we're live so we want to make it I want to make it fun. I just got back from

fishing some of the most difficult trout I have ever seen on the Delaware River system.

These fish, you literally got one cast over the fish before it spooked and if everything was exactly right and the stars were

aligned the fish would eat the fly about 999 times out of a thousand. The fish would spook no matter how good the

cast was and how how good the fly pattern was. It had nothing to with fly pattern.

It was all about presentation and making that first cast

count. So I fished all day for a couple days and averaged about two fish a day. So it was a difficult, difficult fishing. But I love that kind of fishing. I love those technical challenges and I find you learn so much

when you when you fish for difficult fish like this that when you fish for less difficult fish it it makes things a lot easier

so don't be afraid of technical challenges don't be afraid getting skunk because again

you know you learn something new every time you go out fly fishing and you learn a ton by fishing for really tough fish.

Let's see if we have any questions. I'm having trouble reading that.

What type of buzzer superglue or epoxy?

What type of buzzers, superglue or epoxy? Can you elaborate that by buzzer do you mean the English term for midges I like I don't like superglue at all

for my fly time I find that for one thing I'm too messy with it and I stick my fingers together.
