The MEND Fly Fishing Podcast

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.

Fly fishing on the Sea of Cortez is big fun, especially when you go with bunch of fun couples.  We fish for Dorado, Roosterfish, Yellowtail, Sea Bass, and a bunch of other species.  We also talk about rods, fighting fish, casting, and presentation for Dorado. 

Proper layering and attire is so critical in your success as an angler.  Get outfitted right and you'll have more fun on the water, fish longer, and catch more fish. 

It's all about the MEND people. MEND it.

Today I get together at the Back Edddy Bar, which is inside Red's Fly Shop, and chat with my good friends Shan, James, and Craig about our fly fishing trips to Ascension Bay Mexico this last season. We share ideas, strategies, and experiences that hopefull you can learn from.
