Casting Across Fly Fishing

• One Reel, More Fishing

  How should you think about fly reel acquisition? Should you buy the best? Should you buy the least expensive thing that will hold line? Should you skip the headache of such questions and aim towards the center? While I don't begrudge anyone who wants a premium, machined reel or the angler who is content with gear made of plastic, I do have a recommendation for an option that will give you more for less money. More what? More fishing. More fishing options, specifically. Figure out what I'm talking about, and hear my rationale, in this week's podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

• Fly Fishing Accusations, XXXIII

  Every once in a while I do get a legitimate accusation. Recently I was called out for platforming high-end, pretentious fly fishing equipment. While I don't want to eliminate your anticipation for what this might have looked like, I do think it is important to mention that a quick email exchange brought swift resolution. Still, you should listen to this week's episode to hear what I'm talking about. And, before you get to that, you'll hear me discuss beginner fly tying and online fly fishing auctions. As always, thanks for your questions, comments, and accusations that make these episodes - and Casting Across - special. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• [Cast1] Taking a Fly Fishing Trip

  There are plenty of all-inclusive fly fishing adventures that only require you to pay and show up. Such experiences are probably quite exquisite... and quite expensive. But even if you are able to afford such fineries, you'll get more out of your fly fishing trip if you take a few things  with you. Today I'll talk about those things. Some are physical items that are worth packing. Others are expectations. And, as you might imagine, having the latter list in order is just as important as organizing the former. This is the third of three podcasts focused on fly fishing trips. Hopefully these ideas can be a help if you're going on your first or 101st angling outing. Learn more about your ad choices.

• [Cast1] Preparing for a Fly Fishing Trip

  So you've made plans to go fly fishing. Not just a few hours at the local pond; not just the better part of a day at the river. You're going on a fly fishing trip. How do you prepare? Do you buy any and every fly that might be hatching? Do you do your best to not think about it so that the time doesn't drag on  and the doldrums of normal life become painful compared to the coming angling glory? On the heels of last week's episode, I glance over some of the things that are wise to consider as you move from the planning stage to the preparing stage. You can do some things that will make  real difference once you make your first cast on your trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• [Cast1] Planning a Fly Fishing Trip

  Adventure can be had simply by heading into the wild or booking a stay at the first deluxe lodge that pops up on Google. But there is a better way. And many anglers I've talked to wish they had adjusted their fishing vacation plans slightly early on in their time chasing trout. Today's podcast is another installment in the Cast1 series. Although it is directed more towards new fly fishers, there is information that anyone should consider. Moreover, it is the kind of thing worth sharing with other anglers in your life. Plus, you might be interested to hear that of all my priorities when planning a fly fishing trip money isn't at the top. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
