Episode 276: Returning to the Fly Fishing Basics

Fly fishing basics may seem patently obvious to the more experienced fly fisher, but the fundamentals of our sport must be learned and relearned.

A fly fisher should return again and again to the basics of fly fishing. In this episode, we identify several key elements of fly fishing that we’ve had to relearn or remember. Just like writing or playing a sport, the veterans return to the essential skills again and again.
