Summary

This week I have a more-or-less black diamond podcast with Josh Nugent of Out Fly Fishing Outfitters in Calgary. With the peak of hatches upon us, now is the time to tune up your sight-fishing game, and Josh provides with some meaty tips (As well as The Seven Deadly Sins). In the Fly Box, I have a couple listener follow-ups on questions from other listeners. One is on freshwater drum from James at the Orvis store in Royal Oak outside of Detroit. The other is from gentleman in Canada who relates his experience with using loop knots on dry flies (hint—don’t). And I answer some questions on obtaining feathers for tying soft hackles, best boxes for large bass flies, how to rig for tightline nymphing, leaders for smallmouths, and whether a graphite rod can fatigue after a day catching more than 10 carp from 10 to 20 pounds in weight (no one is feeling sorry for that guy).

sightcasting to visible fish, either rising or nymphing to visible fish. And it's a great one and a topic that is very near and dear to my heart.

So it gets a little nerdy and a little black diamondy.

1:01.5

And I know some of you have been asking for some more advanced podcasts I hope you

Another announcement is that I could really use some phone calls.

1:20.0

I like to throw in recorded phone calls, questions from phone calls.

1:26.4

And I got all excited because I went into the podcast mailbox

1:29.9

and I saw all these recorded calls and so I started listening to him and apparently some woman

1:39.4

named Cheryl is on the lam she wrote some bad checks or did something else and she, when she

1:48.2

provided a phone number, she provided the phone number for the podcast request box.

1:54.3

So now the request box is getting these calls,

1:58.8

vaguely threatening calls from people.

2:02.1

They sound kind of official. I think some of them sound like

2:05.2

law enforcement agencies requiring that Cheryl give them a call immediately on a personal manner. So thanks a lot Cheryl. The rest of you out there I could
