Episode 24: Dave Allbaugh, Wet Fly Waterguides

04/08/20 • -1 min

Dave Allbaugh is a regular on the eastern fly tying show scene and is well know for his wet flies. Dave is a licensed fly fishing guide in Pennsylvania and specializes is swinging wet flies on big water. In this episode, we dig deep into wet fly fishing and discuss rods, flies, lines, leaders and anything else we can think of dealing with this very productive style of fishing. I've fished wet flies for 30+ years now and have learned from Dave in this podcast and got a better understanding of some different situations when swinging wets. I hope this episode gets you thinking and if you don't yet fish wets, you will consider this productive method.

We take the time to sit down and talk to Jack and find out how Jack got his start with the fly rod and lead that into how he got us into the sport.

Episode 25: What To Do When The Water Gets Warm

For this episode, Shawn and Pat sit down and discuss ways to stay active and fly fishing in the summertime when the water gets too hot for trout. All trout are cold water species and require much cooler water temps than a lot of other species of fish. So, as water temps rise in the summer and the flows of most trout streams drop, it becomes more important than ever that we give the trout a break. The guys discuss some of the things they plan on doing to stay busy on and off the stream this summer while still pursuing the sport they love.
