| Episode 287: Fall Fly Fishing in the Yellowstone Ecosystem | 07 Sep 2024 | 00:24:47 | |
Later beats earlier. That is one of best nuggets of insight when considering a time to fish the rivers in the Yellowstone ecosystem in the fall. Less crowds. More solitude. The possibility of runners. And even a few late mornings with a BWO hatch. In this episode, we discuss our fall fly fishing wisdom from almost fifteen years of fishing in Montana.

| Episode 286 Don't Give Up Too Soon - Fly Fishing at Dusk | 31 Aug 2024 | 00:21:49 | |
It's not just the early bird who gets the worm. Sometimes, so does the late bird. Many fly fishers leave way before dusk. We often do, especially if we've been fishing all day. But later in the day can produce some great moments on the river. And bigger fish. In this episode, we discuss the opportunities of fishing at dusk.

| S4:31 Wading Commandments Revisited | 06 Jan 2019 | 00:25:42 | |
Our most-read post on this site is the one Steve wrote on “The 10 Commandments of Wading.” Using the phrase “wading commandments” is a good way to talk about a subject that carries with it the great risk of the sport.

Have you ever had one of those days on the river that transported you to a different dimension?

A day on the river always comes with a series of decisions that can make or break your fly fishing day.

| S4:E28 One Fine Day on the East Gallatin River | 16 Dec 2018 | 00:17:37 | |
The East Gallatin River would look like a piece of ribbon candy, if you viewed it from a drone. It’s a slow moving creek that for the most part runs through private property north of Bozeman, Montana. One fall day, Steve found himself in the middle of a BWO hatch.

| S4:E27 Best Fly Fishing Advice, Part 1 | 09 Dec 2018 | 00:25:19 | |
The best fly fishing advice often comes with a small dose of humiliation. Or at least with a palm to the forehead, “Duh!” That’s how we felt when a guide recently said to us, “Why are you trying to cast harder into the wind. It won’t improve your distance. Your mechanics need to be the … Continue reading "S4:E27 Best Fly Fishing Advice, Part 1" The post S4:E27 Best Fly Fishing Advice, Part 1 appeared first on 2 Guys and A River. | |||

Catch and release fly fishing has been around for more than a half century. In recent years, there has been a renewed push for fish survival with the Keep ‘Em Wet movement (#keepemwet), the idea being to make sure the fish stays wet the entire time it’s out of water.

| S4:E22 Are You Too Serious about Fly Fishing? | 04 Nov 2018 | 00:27:14 | |
Is fly fishing truly a hobby for you? We recently read a New York Times column called “In Praise of Mediocrity,” which ripped on America’s fascination with turning every hobby into a “pursuit of excellence.” We fish less than 25 days a year; we’re not professionals. So how good should an amateur get? How should … Continue reading "S4:E22 Are You Too Serious about Fly Fishing?"

At the request of our listeners, we’ve now published an episode on euro nymphing. Our take is a bit different.

| S4:E18 Overcoming a Fly Fishing Plateau | 07 Oct 2018 | 00:21:47 | |
When starting out in the sport, most fly fishers struggle to build skills in all the areas required for success: casting, reading waters, grasping a cursory understanding of entomology, and simply identifying places to fish. It’s a fire hose of information, knowledge, and skill. In this episode, we focus on a different set of problems … Continue reading "S4:E18 Overcoming a Fly Fishing Plateau" The post S4:E18 Overcoming a Fly Fishing Plateau appeared first on 2 Guys and A River. | |||

The fly fishing universe is filled with mysteries. One deep, unsolvable mystery is how few calories a day of fishing burns relative to the large amount of calories consumed at the Supper Club or steak house later in the day. The mysteries are dense.

What fishing does for our day job is more than just relieve stress. That’s important, of course. But fly fishing is about something bigger, or maybe deeper.
