Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 159 ratings
  • Short episodes, dense with useful information

    Unlike many podcasts, with episodes that go on for hours (literally), The Articulate Fly is brief, punchy and to the point. Very refreshing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S8, Ep 56: Topwater Tactics: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report
Q: What is your philosophy on moving or not moving the bug?
Cast it out, let it hit the water with a splat, wait for the rings to disappear, then give it a slow plop and let it drift, while anglers in the boat coordinate downstream casts at a 45-degree angle to avoid line tangling and to keep the fly in the strike zone.
S8, Ep 57: The Power of Habit: Mac Brown's Strategies for Fishing Success
Q: Why is building a routine so important when you're on the water?
Having a routine reduces decision fatigue and frees mental space to read water and make better casts, so you can focus on the core aspects of fishing rather than fiddling with gear.
S8, Ep 58: Central PA Fishing Report: George Costa's Summer Strategies for Success
Q: Got it. And what you got going on in the shop?
George describes the upcoming fly fishing festival in Boiling Springs near their shop, the sale season on summer stock, and plans for fall classes and education programs at their locations.
S8, Ep 58: Central PA Fishing Report: George Costa's Summer Strategies for Success
Q: George, how are you?
George replies that conditions are decent for midsummer fishing, with good river flows and recent rain keeping water levels manageable, and notes that some streams are unfishable in the short term if more rain comes.
S8, Ep 50: Navigating Summer Waters: Ellis Ward on Trout, Musky and the Art of the Evening Bite
Q: How should listeners contact you to book a trip or learn more?
