    The Real Benefit of Outdoor Shows
    Jan 16 2026
    What if I told you that if you think that outdoor shows are all about spending money that you've got it all wrong? Sure, there are opportunities to shell out wads of cash. But you can also support small businesses. In fact, some of them are so small that they might not even technically be a business! Beyond that, there is a lot to see in person that you may otherwise only experience through the cold, distant medium of YouTube. And whether you're in a giant convention center or the local VFW hall, there are probably people there that are worth taking a few minutes to meet. Why? They're into the same things you are.

  • Casting... Indoors?

    Casting... Indoors?
    Jan 9 2026
    Hear me out: I am not saying everyone can or should practice fly casting indoors. But if you can, why not? In today's episode I am really discussing how a lot of us would benefit from more and more diverse fly casting practice. Although it is essential to practice casting under ideal circumstances, it makes a whole lot of sense to also practice in realistic settings. Can you always face your target? Are you always able to go 10-to-2? Is it always feasible to fully pivot your hips while double hauling? The answer is no. So go ahead and prepare for those situations.

  • A Fly Fishing Christmas, 2025

    A Fly Fishing Christmas, 2025
    Dec 26 2025
    Merry Christmas from Casting Across! On this short holiday episode, I read from the 1883 edition of Fishing With the Fly. This prominent work was compiled and sold by none other than Charles F. Orvis. In this essay there are some wonderfully quaint ideas. But there are also some incredibly pertinent proverbs. As is the case with all good writing, it stands the test of time. Sit back with a creamy eggnog and enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Types of Regulated Trout Water

    Types of Regulated Trout Water
    Dec 19 2025
    One of the lessons I learned too late in my fly fishing was that trout live in places that aren't labeled "trout water." Although I love and appreciate the fly fishing only, catch and release streams that are out there, they only represent a fraction of the excellent trout fishing that is available. If you limit yourself to a type of river you're missing out. Even streams that don't have any special regulations and allow for the harvest of multiple trout can be great options for the catch and release angler. Today I approach the topic of regulated water from a general perspective. Take what I say, check out your local regulations, and then pull up a map. Find fish wherever they may be.

    Fly Fishing Accusations, XXXVII
    Dec 12 2025
    Don't get scammed. I don't sound like anyone (I think). Combat fishing is a choice. Those three short sentences sum up this edition of my regular "Fly Fishing Accusations" podcast. You ask questions, make comments, and level accusations about those things I've written and/or said. I respond. I think it is an awful lot of fun. You might, too. So give it a listen.

  • [Cast1] Winter Fly Fishing

    [Cast1] Winter Fly Fishing
    Dec 5 2025
    We're back into the Cast1 series of episodes. Each focuses on basic information pertaining to some aspect of fly fishing. But just because it is "basic" doesn't mean the content is only for beginners. A surprising number of anglers don't venture out in the coldest months. On one hand it makes sense: it is cold. On the other hand, there are fish to be caught! Even seasoned fly fishers will admit they haven't dabbled in casting when the air temp is lower than the water temp. Today I quickly cover an overview of the why, how, where, and what of winter fly fishing. Plus, I give a half dozen resources for going deeper. Learn more about your ad choices.
