The best fly fishing podcast
From someone who's been been listening to fly fishing podcasts for 20 years, this is the best fly fishing podcast on the planet, period. Dave has built this from the ground up and his deep dives with guests from all styles of fly fishing are enlightening, informative, and entertaining. I like that his show is more steak than sizzle; no gimmicks, no clowning around, just sit-down, in-depth conversations with guides, outfitters, authors or conservation leaders in their areas of expertise. I've lea... more

I’m new to fly fishing podcasts. I have enjoyed several episodes, most recently an outstanding one with Dave Allison. Stewart has a nice balance of asking questions that clarify what is being discussed for experienced anglers as well as newbie’s.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

982 | Keep Fish Wet with Sascha Clark Danylchuk: Better Catch-and-Release Practices and Water Temperature

Q: What gear or practices can help anglers implement these principles without overhauling their kit?

Use barbless hooks for easier removal, carry forceps or other hook-removal tools, and select nets that allow quick release with minimal handling. The emphasis is on practical tools and habits that support the three principles, rather than relying on any single product.

982 | Keep Fish Wet with Sascha Clark Danylchuk: Better Catch-and-Release Practices and Water Temperature

Q: What are the three Keep Fish Wet principles and how can a solo angler apply them on the water?

The three principles are: minimize air exposure, eliminate contact with dry surfaces, and reduce handling time. Solo anglers can apply them by keeping the fish in the water as much as possible, wetting hands before handling, using a net to control the fish, and releasing quickly with minimal manipulation, possibly even removing hooks without lifting the fish out of the water.

982 | Keep Fish Wet with Sascha Clark Danylchuk: Better Catch-and-Release Practices and Water Temperature

Q: Describe the new way to think about water temperature and why the old 68-degree rule might be insufficient?

The guest explains that trout and other species have an angling threshold below which surrounding stresses from catching and handling push survival down, and this threshold is often well below 68 degrees. Rather than a hard stop at 68, anglers should use temperature as a signal to adjust practices (e.g., shorter air exposure, gentler handling, less time out of water, or shift to different activities) to improve survival chances.

979 | Fly Fishing Belize with Chris Leeman: Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish

Q: What role does Sargasso play in catching fish in Belize, and how are guides adapting?

Sargasso provides feeding opportunities for permit and tarpon, with crabs and shrimp attracting fish to surface presentations; guides are adapting by designing flies and tactics that stay on top of the water to capitalize on this habitat change.

979 | Fly Fishing Belize with Chris Leeman: Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish

Q: How does the moon phase affect fishing, and should anglers plan around a full moon?

Moon phases can increase activity and water movement, with full moons sometimes producing very productive weeks for permits and tarpon, while bonefish respond to tidal movement; planning around a full moon can enhance chances but isn't a hard rule.
