The MEND Fly Fishing Podcast

This is a great book!  I just love the quotes and the amazing knowledge of these ol' fellas in this book.  I'll be doing about one of these a week and I hope you enjoy listening to me quoting these interviews. 
You can purchase this book online, we don't currently sell it at Red's. 

Today I share a local fishing report and answer lots of questions including some good ones about spring bass fishing.

There are many misconceptions about "spey vs. switch rods".  What's the difference?  In this Podcast I'll disect the difference between the two and try to help listeners make some strategic decisions on what they should be casting.

Here I am.  Q and A for the listeners and I attempted to answer everyone's questions.  I'll be making another post next week and we'll get a few more questions answered and "Mend" your fishing haha.  You see what I did there.  Tight Lines and enjoy the Podcast. 

Today I sit riverside with Steve Joyce, one of the owners and founders of Red's, and we recap the "Red's Guide Shootout" or something like that. Not sure exactly what we were doing yesterday but our staff competed in 2 person teams in Sporting Clays, 1 Hour Competitive Fishing, Casting Competition, and a Top Chef Contest! In addition we'll give lots of tips for fringe season fishing. It was a ton of fun and great learning experience for all of us to be together talking shooting, casting, fishing, and shore lunch prep. 

We chat trout spey gear, strategy, lifestyle, and the new Loomis IMX PRO short spey rods with Tom Larimer and Jacob Zirkle from G Loomis.  Trout spey is an awesome way to fish, but also hone your two-handed casting skills. 

Fly fishing and hunting are very similar sports. One compliments the other and both allow the participant to insert themselves into the cycle of life. 

We fished 3 amazing destinations yesterday all in one day.  It was a great trip fishing for big Rainbows at Rocky Ford, Largemouth Bass, and a local creek with our sons.  

Took the whole family to Yellowstone last week.
