What Fly Rod Do You Actually Need? How to Pick the Right One for Your Fishing | Ep. 199
What's scarier - telling your mother-in-law that her pot roast is actually dry, or picking up a new fly rod with NO help at all? Because let's be honest - it's not like fly shops or websites have a ton of clear information about what all these different rods are for. And why do some of them cost $1,000 or more? Today on Untangled, we're going to simplify the world of fly rods and give you the information you need to make the best choice for your own fishing situation.

Bull Trout, Backcountry, and Giardia — A Disaster Trip | Fly Fishing Stories #12
My first trip chasing bull trout didn't exaclty go as planned. Instead of holding a giant trout in a crystal-clear stream, I found myself lying in a bed in a stranger's house, feeling like I'd gone to the wrong Taco Bell and had one too many beefy five-layer burritos. So how'd I end up there? What dark forces conspired to keep me from catching a bucket-list fish? Well, it all starts with my buddy Blair.

Fly Fishing A River With No Rising Fish — Where To Start And What They're Eating | Ep. 198
You show up to the river for a day of fishing, you're stuffed FULL of optimism and happiness, you get all rigged up — and then your mood just CRASHES. There aren't any fish rising. No bugs hatching. No trout sunning themselves in the shallows. Just a river that feels as lifeless as those lovely political ads we're forced to watch during football season. What's the play here? How do you start from what feels like nothing, and end up catching fish, when the river is holding all its cards close to the vest? It boils down to knowing where the fish are probably hanging out, what they're probably eating, and how to get a good presentation. And today on Untangled, that's exactly what you're gonna learn. You'll also learn about: Tips for rigging up with hoppers and other large flies How to measure the river temperature so you know when to stop fishing Should you opt for larger or smaller flies when fish reject your first few drifts? How to teach others - including family - how to fly fish Tips for sight fishing to rising trout Why the loop knot is the undisputed best knot for fishing on lakes LINKS FROM THE SHOW Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Field Guide - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Watch the Beginner Masterclass - CHECK IT OUT RESOURCE - Get The First Fish Roadmap - CHECK IT OUT

How To Design Your Own Fly Patterns | Ep. 197
If you've ever heard other anglers talk about how great it feels to catch fish on flies they tied themselves, you've probably thought they were overselling it. They make the experience out to be something on par with your first kiss, or getting your driver's license. So if catching fish on a fly you tied is that good, then it stands to reason that catching fish on a fly you INVENTED is even better — right up there with getting married, or watching a tax write off actually SAVE you money. This is all well and good, but there's one question we need to ask — how exactly do you start coming up with your own fly patterns? What makes it YOURS and not a copy of someone else's? It's honestly pretty simple — it all comes down to tying your flies to fill a specific need, rather than just sitting at the vise and hoping inspiration strikes. You'll also learn about: The different fly rod actions, and what they mean in plain English How to pick between realistic and attractor-style nymph patterns Tips for becoming a fly fishing guide LINKS FROM THE SHOW GEAR - New Fly Rods From VFC - CHECK THEM OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Field Guide - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - How We Fly Fish With Nymphs - CHECK IT OUT VIDEO - Fly Rods 101 - CHECK IT OUT

Back From The Brink — Catching A Fish That Almost Disappeared | Fly Fishing Stories #11
We almost lost one of the most iconic trout species in the world. From the 1970s to 2005, roughly 3.5 million of these fish were eaten by a predator illegally introduced into their ecosystem. It was only through hard work - and a bit of luck - that the fish managed to survive at all. But how did this happen? Why does it matter if some fish go extinct? And where did this all take place? Well, that's what we'll explain in today's episode of Untangled.

How To Catch Fish On The World's Smallest Mayfly | Ep. 196
There's one mayfly that, when it hatches, brings EVERY fish up to the surface - including the big ones. These bugs, once they start, come off like clockwork. The fish dutifully follow. So, what's the catch? Because if there's one true thing about fly fishing, it's that nothing is THIS simple. Well, these mayflies are tiny. Microscopic. And the fish get EXTREMELY picky about which ones they're eating. Some times, they want the male mayflies. Other times, they're only eating the females. Throw the wrong one, and your chances of catching fish are as good as Spencer's at quitting Diet Coke. This week on Untangled, you'll learn everything you need to know to take advantage of this tiny mayfly. You'll also learn about: How to fight fish more effectively The techniques used for fishing with barbless hooks How much time you should expect to struggle when you start fly fishing How to handle days when rivers are blown out from rain LINKS FROM THE SHOW Get TroutRoutes PRO Free For One Month - CHECK IT OUT Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Field Guide - CHECK IT OUT

Get Up And Go Explore | Tip of the Week #17
The best thing you could do right now is to turn off this podcast, get your gear together, and go fishing. If you can't just drop everything and head to the river right now - maybe you're at work, or any good fishing is a long drive away - then I suppose you could keep listening to today's show. But the message at the end will be the same as it is now: get up and go fishing.
