Summary

In this week’s podcast, I interview Dan Frasier, noted fly-rod carp angler and writer, on tying flies for warm-water species. But don’t miss it if you are not a fly tier because he also gives lots of tips for catching carp, largemouths, smallmouths, pike, walleye, and even gar on the fly. And even if you don’t tie flies for warmwater species, he also offers great stuff on tying bigger baitfish and crayfish imitations in general. In The Fly Box, we range from where to where to go on your honeymoon to recommendations for my favorite brand of stepladder to other questions I can answer like what small-stream trout do in the winter, how to treat your flies in the off-season, clamp vs. pedestal vises, and much more.

1:41.1	That's funny. One shop never even heard of such a thing. Hmm.

1:52.0	are there any other alternatives other than a beat
1:54.6	head that I could pick up at the Fly Shop or Hardware store?
1:58.2	Would a tiny section of tungsten sink-tip material glued along the shank make any difference in density.
