Ep. 68 - We All Float on for Trout

About this episode

This episode discusses the intricacies of dry-fly fishing with expert Sean Witman.

Your cast, presentation, and drift all must perfectly harmonize for effective dry-fly fishing — especially when you’re dealing with wise, spooky fish. None of those critical elements matter, though, if your dry fly isn’t, well, dry. My buddy Sean Witman, who guides on several rivers in New York’s Catskill Mountains, breaks it all down.
