Episode Description

You've picked a great fly, found some wonderful water, and made tons of good drifts through fishy-looking water. Everything is coming together -- except for the whole catching fish thing. So, what do you do on days like this, when NOTHING you do makes the fish notice your flies? When the fishing sucks, what's the play? Well, this week on Untangled, you'll learn how Spencer and Alex approach these tough days, and tips you can use the next time the river throws you a curveball. 

You'll also learn about: 

  • VFC's new 6-weight fly rod release, and other products in the pipeline
  • Why we have so many different imitations of the same bug, and the value of using different flies
  • How to decide which fishing technique (dries, streamers, nymphs) to use on any given day
  • Tips for cold-weather fishing
  • Tying your own leaders
  • A few tips for fishing streamers in late fall and early winter
