Summary

This week I give Ten Tips for Trout Anglers to Beat the Heat, I think a timely topic with the weather we have had lately. In the Fly Box, we also talk more about fly lines for bass, when to change a dropper fly if only one pattern is working, whether it is OK to harvest small brook trout for lunch, how to decide amongst the thousands of attractor patterns, best flies for perch, “RADD” (river ADD), how to practice for trout on your local panfish lake, and best rods for kayak fishing.

0:34.0	Hi Tom, this is Joey from Michigan and I just have a couple of questions regarding fly fishing.
