| 1/18/26 | ![]() Brian DeLoach | IFF Casting Instructor Says Your Fly Line Is Filthy | Brian Deloach is a Fly Fishers International (IFF) certified casting instructor hailing from Tennessee.

This time, the episode’s focus is solely on casting. Brian discusses proper techniques and terms used by IFF certified casting instructors, he will explain the essential principles for successful fly casting, and how to apply this to fishing. This episode is filled with casting analogies, so be sure to jot down some notes. We find out Brian's favorite five weight rod and where he likes to eat after a day of fishing.

| 1/5/26 | ![]() 2026 | The Year Of The 5 Weight Starts At Mossy Creek | Rob has proclaimed 2026 as the year of the five weight fly rod. You'll need to wait a bit longer for a comprehensive explanation of his reasoning. In the meantime, tune in as Rob heads back to Mossy Creek to test out his new Hardy Marksman 5 weight setup. He has been preoccupied with thoughts about the restored section of the upper part of the stream and strategies for using weighted streamers. With winter settling in, the once vibrant wildflowers and overgrown banks have withered away, making it easier to walk and cast. Rob is ready to fish all day Monday, camp out in his car, and return for another session on Tuesday morning to pursue his goal. Listen as Rob shares insights about the stream and its winter conditions, the fish lurking in the structure, and the way the stream weaves through the agricultural landscape. The podcast ends with Rob at Dam 4 on the Potomac. Three guys had out on kayaks without proper safety gear. Those on shore watch at the kayakers nearly die. Purchase Rob's flies to support the show.

| 12/18/25 | ![]() Casing Across' Matthew Lourdeau Discusses Fishing Books | Rob first encountered Matthew Lordeau around twenty-five years ago while they both were employed at the Orvis store in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The store was quite lively during that time, and all the staff tried to fish together whenever they could. Rob doesn’t remember going fishing with Matt. Even though they went their separate ways long ago, they have maintained their connection through meetings at The Fly Fishing Show and interactions online through social media. Since their days at Orvis, Matt has tied the knot and is now the father of a lively brood of children, ranging from young nymphs to instars. His experiences in fishing, writing, and travel have motivated Matt to launch his very own podcast, Casting Across. On this podcast, listeners can hear him talk about the individuals, locations, and elements involved in the quest for fish with a focus on the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania. Rob was eager to chat with Matt about his passion for both contemporary and traditional fly fishing literature. This marks Matt’s second time on the show as a podcast host. You can catch him in various episodes from the Somerset and Edison Fly Fishing Shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 1h 17m 03s | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | ![]() 2025 End Of Year Review | Fishing, Sandwiches, And Gift Guide | Rob reflects on the year spent fishing and enjoying lunch, concluding with a gift guide. The year began with excessive rainfall and wrapped up with a lack of it. There were multiple road trips and his first flight since 2019. Rob takes a look at the sandwiches that powered his adventures. He also provides a concise list of items that have demonstrated their value for inclusion in a gift guide.

| 11/26/25 | ![]() Short Stories From The Salmon River | Swinging In The Rain | It’s time for Rob’s yearly journey up north to the Salmon River in New York. The fish he’s aiming to catch are lake-run steelhead and brown trout. For weeks, Rob has been monitoring the low water levels while he meticulously crafted flies to complement his already stocked fly boxes, all with the hope of landing a steelhead for Producer Jason. However, this trip didn’t unfold as anticipated. Overwhelmed by sorrow, Rob finds himself unable to fish. While he was in New York, two people dear to him passed away. What was meant to be a few days of relaxing casting of flies amidst the snow has turned into just a few hours of swinging in the rain. The episode is divided between the trip preparations and the drive northward. Rob and Jason conclude the episode after Rob shares what went awry and reflects on the loss of his friends. Hence, the episode is named 'Short Stories.' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 1h 01m 53s | ||||||
| 11/18/25 | ![]() My Time With Nick Lyons | Recently, Rob dedicated a fall weekend to traveling to the Catskills to fish and conduct an in-person interview with Nick Lyons. Nick’s works in writing and publishing have played a crucial role in shaping Rob’s lifelong passion for fishing. When Rob launched this podcast in 2010, he was significantly inspired by the writings of both Nick Lyons and John Geirach. Rob has emulated Lyons' authenticity alongside Geirach's "trout bum" way of life as he seeks to educate others about fly fishing and share captivating tales. This moment provides Rob with the opportunity to connect with Nick in his sunroom in Woodstock, NY, exchanging stories about his fishing experiences, from his very first catch to his last catch and those he shared the water with along the way. Nick recants tales involving notable figures like Ed Van Put, Lefty Kreh, Mark Sosin, Tom Rosenbauer, Sparse Grey Hackle, Charles Ritz, Lee Wulff, Art Flick, Vince Marinaro, William Humphrey, Craig Matthews, Yvon Chouinard, Tom McGuane, and Al Troth. Some of these anecdotes have yet to be shared publicly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 2h 00m 48s | ||||||
| 11/5/25 | ![]() Catskills Big River Fall Brown Trout Roadtrip | Rob made a stop in the Catskills to do some fishing on his journey to Woodstock, NY, where he was set to interview Nick Lyons. He left Virginia on a Sunday evening as a Nor’easter began to develop in the Atlantic and reached New York after nightfall, just before the rain started. Finding a place to camp in his car, he started fishing in the rain by mid-morning on Monday. He cast his line from Deposit NY down to Hancock, making a visit to the West Branch Angler along the way. Rob took a quick trip to Livingston Manor, NY, and dropped by the Dette Fly Shop. He interviewed Nick early Tuesday morning and then headed back home after their conversation. This is Rob’s travel travelogue. Produced by Jason Reif. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 1h 11m 08s | ||||||
| 10/28/25 | ![]() Miriam Leino | Where Do Fish Go At Night & Fly Fishing Eastern Washington State | Rob first encountered Miriam Leino when he dialed the Orvis Outfitter Team number a few weeks back. He was in search of the hooks needed to tie his bacon fly, as his supply was dwindling. Rob enjoys inquiring about the locations of individuals on help lines, so he was taken aback to discover that Miriam resides in eastern Washington state. He found her location somewhat surprising for an Orvis outfitter answering the phone, as most would not be taken aback by this detail, but it piqued Rob's interest. He discovered that Miriam not only works at Orvis but also guides for trout and steelhead in eastern Washington. By the end of their conversation, the two had arranged a podcast episode for Miriam to share her story. This is Rob’s chance to find out if he has been fishing for ‘Temu Steelhead’ in the Great Lakes and we try to understand where fish go at night. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/15/25 | ![]() Return To Mossy Creek - Brown Trout, Terrestrials, And Hitchhikers | Rob and Dan embarked on an expedition to Mossy Creek, Virginia. This location is recognized as Virginia’s top spring creek fishing destination, nestled in the Shenandoah Valley just south of Harrisburg, VA. Since Rob has covered this fishery in two prior episodes, the history of the stream is not elaborated upon. On their journey, Rob and Dan stop by the Mossy Creek Fly Shop to chat with Colby. His insights prove to be extremely helpful. Colby shares details about the restoration work that has been carried out on the stream since Rob's last trip. A tropical storm off the coast brings strong winds and rain. The duo intends to fish using terrestrials, with streamers and nymphs as alternative options. We also discover some amusing anecdotes about cow tipping, fishing without shoes, and learn more about Dan. It's essential to wear waders at the stream, no matter the weather conditions. This is a lesson that Rob took away from this road trip. Previous Episode: Fly Fishing Mossy Creek Virginia Produced By Jason Reif Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/8/25 | ![]() South East Maine With Chris Milnes | Rob encountered Chris on a beach in Maine during low tide in August of this year. After a short conversation on the shore, Chris decided it would be worthwhile to record an entire episode focusing on his fishery. Originally from Massachusetts, Chris now calls southern Maine home. He spent his childhood fishing for stripers the Commonwealth and had to make slight adjustments to fish in the Pine Tree State. Chris discusses his equipment and strategies for catching stripers, the seasonal changes, and the fish's diet. He also shares tales about salmon, shad, and non-native ferox trout. Chris feels fortunate to live in such close proximity to a world-class fishery, which Rob missed out on experiencing due to the late season and lack of rain. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 10/1/25 | ![]() Fishing Buddies Part 2 | Fishing buddies part two. Rob recounts stories about those he has fished alongside throughout the years. From Lenny in Florida to Dan at Mossy Creek, this episode is lengthy, yet it doesn't cover all of his fishing partners and their remarkable narratives. Regrettably, there simply isn't enough time to share every tale. Since childhood, Rob has taken friends on exciting adventures across Reston and Frederiksberg, Virginia, to the Florida Keys, and even to Crested Butte, Colorado. His friends have encountered snakes, poison ivy, jellyfish, caterpillars, feisty sea lions, and pinching crabs. They have braved temperatures from freezing to scorching hot. Greasy burgers and Slurpees have been part of their journey. Rob wishes to convey his appreciation to all his friends who have accompanied him in his endeavor to challenge boundaries in pursuit of fish. Learn more about your ad choices.
