Summary

This week I have a delightful interview with the energetic Jen Ripple, publisher of Dun Magazine. She has some exciting news about her magazine that you’ll discover in the podcast. But the podcast is not about magazines, it’s about urban fly fishing, specifically Midwestern urban fly fishing. Jen is well versed on this subject, and I know you’ll enjoy some of her wild stories and you’ll learn a bunch about how to seek out these gems in the middle of heavy industry. Also in the Fly Box we discuss loops on fly lines, whether fly fishing is better than spin fishing, what to do with poorly tied flies from your earlier attempts, how to target big brook trout, how to avoid spooking trout, when it’s OK to reel your line-to-leader connection inside your guides, how to avoid foul-hooking fish—and lots of other tidbits.

0:20.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide podcast. This podcast is being
0:25.8	recorded on November 28th 2016. Later on in the show I'm going to have a fun interview. I thought it was fun anyways with
0:36.4	Gen Ripple of Dunn magazine. We're going to talk about Urban Fly Fishing but first of all
0:42.2	the flybox where we answer some of your smaller
0:46.7	smaller easier to answer questions so let's start this one out actually not with a
0:51.8	question but with with a message.
0:54.0	Hello Tom this is Rip Woodin from Rocky Mountain
0:58.0	North Carolina. I have a somewhat unusual product endorsement for your hydros lines if you let me indulge in a brief story.
1:07.0	I was fishing a Marsh Creek behind Moorhead City, North Carolina, for trout or red fish, but I saw black clouds forming on the horizon.
1:16.8	So I noticed my skiff into the bank of Spartanagrass to check my radar out.
1:21.7	I had laid my rod on the deck of the boat with the tip propped on the valve
1:26.6	while I studied the radar map. All of a sudden the rod jumped off the bow and I watched an uncomprehending horror as the tip curved like a question
1:36.4	mark. Just as I figured out what was happening and reached for the throttle lever, there was a pop and the rod still intact lay unscathed on the deck.
1:47.0	I had not taken the engine completely out of gear and left the fly flying leader trailing behind the boat.
1:54.0	The leader wrapped around the prop and bent the rod almost to the breaking point.
1:59.0	But the welded loop on the Hydros line broke through the 25 to 30 pound butt section of the leader.
2:05.9	After unwrapping the broken leader from the prop, I checked the welded loop.
2:11.6	It had too little mix but was otherwise okay. So if anybody
