  • How to find great fly fishing close to home, with Greg DeMars

    How to find great fly fishing close to home, with Greg DeMars
    Apr 30 2025
    I've had a number of guests on the podcast teaching us about urban fly fishing and it will be an ongoing process because everyone has different takes on how to approach it. There is nothing better than a few hours of peace before or after work, without needing to drive for hours, and you can find it, even in the middle of our largest cities. My guest Greg DeMars [40:25] specializes in the urban fisheries around Dallas, Texas, but the tips he offers are valuable for any urban area throughout North America—and probably beyond. Urban fishing can be exciting and interesting and challenging—it's not just about trout or permit! In the Fly Box this week, I thought we had some unusually interesting questions, including:
    • Will you ever have a podcast on targeting yellow perch on a fly rod?
    • Is there any need for a "shorty" Euro line if I want to Euro nymph with my regular weight-forward line? Can't I just attach a very long leader?
    • Are swimming holes "fish-free" zones or are they worth targeting in early season before the swimmers arrive?
    • Where can I find Orvis BigEye hooks?
    • When I fish in fast water I have problems shooting line because my excess line gets carried away by the current. I don't want to use a stripping basket. Is there another solution?
    • I never use tippet, only leader material. Do I need special tippet?
    • What knot would you recommend instead of the Perfection Loop?
    • I have problems catching flying insects over a trout stream and my hat doesn't work. What would you suggest?
    • How do you tell what fish are feeding on under the surface?
    • Can you elaborate a bit on why you should make your first cast count? How important is that and how do I do it without making a few bad casts first?
    • When tying nymphs, I have trouble getting CDC to wind evenly. And I don't like using a dubbing loop. Any tips on how to make my CDC flies look better?
    • What tips or recommendations do you have for getting into fly tying?

  • Best Practices for Wader Care and Fit, with Natalie Cullum

    Best Practices for Wader Care and Fit, with Natalie Cullum
    Apr 22 2025
    I get a lot of questions about wader care, storage, and washing instructions. Fit can also affect how long waders last and how comfortable they are. Waders are one of our most expensive purchases, outside of a rod and reel, and in order to make them last longer we need to take good care of them, so they stay waterproof and comfortable. My guest this week is Natalie Cullum [27:14], Orvis product developer in charge of waders and technical outerwear. She knows all about the fabric used in waders, the technology involved in their construction, and how critical fit is in their comfort and durability. If you are looking for a new pair of waders this season, or if you want to make your current pair of waders last longer, this podcast is essential listening. In the Fly Box this week, we have some interesting questions and tips from listeners, including:
    • Is the Orvis Tippet Knot a suitable substitute for the blood knot?
    • Do you think there is a chance that dry-fly purism will come back?
    • Does a saltwater line cast worse in fresh water?
    • Can you suggest a use for the fluffy material at the base of a Coq de Leon feather?
    • Do you have any tips for dry flies in salt water?
    • A listener suggests some kind of national organization to purchase public lands that are planned on being sold as part of the inflation reduction act.
    • Will there be Orvis Pro Wading Boots in size 15?
    • What is it that Tom brings on the water that most people might not have in their pack or vest?
    • I keep catching landlocked salmon of the same size. Can you suggest a way to target the bigger ones?

  • Secrets of Southern Tailwaters, with Tic Smith

    Secrets of Southern Tailwaters, with Tic Smith
    Apr 17 2025
    Tic Smith [37:18] is head guide at Orvis-endorsed Southeastern Anglers and is a veteran guide with many decades of experience on southern tailwaters. Our discussion centers on his home river, the Hiwassee, but the tips and tricks he shares will be valuable on many other tailwaters. He talks tackle, flies, presentation, and most importantly reading the water from a drift boat. In the Fly Box this week we have some great trips and interesting questions from listeners, including:
    • Can I re-use an old Depth Charge running line with a shooting head, and if so how should I connect it to my heads?
    • Can I put my reel in the water when landing a fish?
    • Would the 7-foot, 9-inch Superfine Graphite rod be a good one for redeye bass? Will it add to the fun factor?
    • A listener has a question about getting around another angler while fishing public water surrounded by private land.
    • A biologist answers a question from a previous podcast—where are all the baby carp?
    • What is this Tenkara stuff all about? Can I use conventional flies on a Tenkara outfit?
    • An anonymous listener please for listeners to contact their elected representatives regarding the defunding of the EPA's Office of Research Development.
    • How do native brook trout get so high up in remote streams?
    • I can catch fish in low gradient brown trout streams on nymphs and dries but streamers don't seem to work. Why?
    • Will floods that have increased flows tenfold in a river have a deleterious effect on the trout population?
    • Can you recommend a good long dry-fly leader that is knotless? Is it as good as a hand-tied leader?
    • What kind of fly-fishing gear should I avoid using in salt water?
