  • This is THE podcast for fly fishing!

    I have listened to virtually all of these podcasts. Tom does a great job of answering questions, and passing along great information for all fly fishermen (and fisherwomen!).

    The podcast featuring John Gierach was especially good. These two guys are great authors, and it was a real treat to hear Tom interview him. They covered a wide spectrum of subjects concerning fly fishing, and I look forward to another interview.

    Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fishing the Gulf Coast, with Captain Roger Gendron
Q: What gear do you recommend for targeting juvenile tarpon in deeper channels?
Use fast-sinking lines and appropriate leaders with enough breaking strength, because juvenile tarpon in deeper holes require getting your fly down to them quickly and securely. A full sinking line paired with a robust leader and shock tippet helps prevent yards of missed takes and improves hookup rates.
Bikepacking, extreme sports, and fly fishing with Chris Burkard
Q: What's your best advice for fighting the unpredictability of remote fishing trips?
He emphasizes preparedness, practical on-the-ground problem solving (like tire repairs), and keeping an open mind about adapting techniques and locations; the goal is to stay creative and adaptable rather than rigidly sticking to a plan.
Bikepacking, extreme sports, and fly fishing with Chris Burkard
Q: How do you approach gear selection for bikepacking and fly fishing together?
Burkard talks about prioritizing portability and versatility, choosing lightweight, modular gear, and planning the setup to allow fishing after riding, with a focus on accessibility rather than perfect gear for every water. He also notes the importance of local intel and flexibility once on site.
The Hidden World of Fish Biology, with Shawn Good
Q: Can you describe a little bit about electroshocking? And, you know, it seems like it's a pretty violent way of dealing with a population of trout. What's the mortality, is it harmful?
Electrofishing is designed to minimize harm; equipment is tuned to low amperage and site-specific settings. Fish are knocked out briefly with an anesthetic, netted quickly, measured, and returned to the water in a controlled way to keep mortality low and to allow rapid recovery.
The Wrong Fly in the Right Place, with Tim Flagler
Q: How do you decide between using a deceiver versus a closer fishing pattern on big migratory browns in Patagonia?
The choice often comes down to the fish's prey silhouette and water conditions; deceivers mimic larger baitfish and have proven effective in deep water with heavy sinking lines, while other patterns can work when fish focus on different prey or water depth.
