Summary

This week, we're continuing our series on winter fly fishing for trout. I interview Antonio Rodrigues [42:50] manager of Front Range Anglers in Boulder, Colorado, and he has a different take on winter fly fishing, and some different methods. I've found it fascinating to see how each guest approaches this differently and hope you pick up some tips as well.

In the Fly Box this week, we have these questions and tips from listeners:

What do you use for a fly box when surf fishing?

I have not had good luck with guide trips and want to know what you recommend so I get a better trip next time.

Are fly rods built on continuous blanks and then cut into sections, or is each section made separately? And are sections interchangeable from one rod to another?

What is the purpose of adding flash to nymph patterns?

A tip on using special flies for casting practice.

What do I do about fishing places where lots of swimmers have been?

Are wire bite guards worth it?Can I tie a 3X tippet to a 3mm tippet ring?

Are all Orvis leader lengths built to the same basic taper or are they different?

Another suggestion on where to donate flies you don't want.

What uses do you have for magnets when fishing?

What do I use huge streamer patterns like the Manbearpig for, and how should I fish them?

0:00.0	Hi and welcome to the Orvis Fly Fishing podcast this is your host Tom Rosenbauer and this week we're
0:16.4	continuing our series of winter trout fishing tutorials.
0:23.2	We're talking to different guides throughout the country and it's interesting that everyone
0:29.5	has their own particular method of winter fishing.
0:33.6	So there's no right or wrong way, as you know,
0:35.4	in fly fishing.
0:36.6	And this week, we're talking to Antonio Rodriguez
0:40.3	from Front Range Anglers in Boulder, Colorado.
0:44.0	And Antonio takes, I think, a different approach than other people
0:49.0	that we've talked to about winter trout fishing.
0:52.0	So just another method to try and I hope you enjoy the interview and I hope you're all getting out there and trying some winter fishing regardless of whether you're chasing trout or bass or snook or anything
1:07.4	that you can chase during the winter time. But first, let's do the fly box and this is where I try to answer questions from
1:18.4	listeners and if you have a question for the flybox, if you have a burning question that no one else can answer in a Google search can answer, well, I probably can't answer it either, but I'll try, and if I can't answer it either but I'll try and if I can't answer it I'll reach
1:37.8	out to some of my fishing buddies to see if they have any answers. And you can do it by sending me an email to
1:48.0	podcast at orbis.com. You can either just type your question in the body of your email or you can attach a voice file if you want to take a chance on hearing your voice on the air.
2:05.0	And you know, I also take comments, complaints, and a lot of people have been sharing
2:11.0	tips.
2:12.0	So if you have a tip you want to share with other people
2:14.2	something that I might have missed in one of my other answers or if you have a
2:18.4	complaint I love hearing complaints because it only helps me make the
2:22.0	podcast better.
2:23.0	So complaints are always welcome.
