[Interview starts at 45:23]
Can you really catch giant cutthroat trout in the desert? Are they truly a native species? And do they really fish with ladders? You’ll find out in my interview with Orvis-endorsed guide Mike Anderson, who guides for the Reno Fly Shop.
In the Fly Box this week, we have some wonderful comments and thought-provoking questions, including:
- I can’t keep the knots in my rubber legs on hopper patterns. How do you do it?
- What common fly-tying materials can I get from animals I have harvested, what parts should I use, and how to you prepare and store them?
- What is the advantage of going from 140-denier tying thread to 70-denier, and when and why should I use it?
- A listener explains why he welcomes new people to the sport.
- I just got an intermediate line for fishing in lakes. Will it be useful in streams?
- I have an old rod with a loose ferrule. Is there any way of fixing it?
- Is my 9½ foot 6-weight rod too light to throw big articulated flies for bull trout?
- I know trout lie in seams in a river. Will steelhead be in seams as well?
- Can I use sewing thread for tying flies?
- My double surgeon’s knots keep breaking. What am I doing wrong?
- Are there special fighting techniques when you hook a fish on a downstream drift?
- Why do people tell me to fish at high tide, when I can walk out farther at low tide?
- Can I swing a streamer in salt water?
- Do changes in air temperature affect fish in the ocean as much as in fresh water?
- What do I do to take my trout fishing to the next level? What should I concentrate on?
- Why are bamboo rods typically shorter than graphite, and how do I travel with a two-piece bamboo rod?
- I am losing more fish with large flies than I do with small flies. What is the issue?
