The same holds true for the effort, energy and strength to row a drift boat. Boulder Boatsare on average 1/3 lighter than a fiberglass boat requiring less energy, stamina and most importantly less water to row. What does this mean for your rowing experience on the river? First off, the lightweight nature of the boat makes the Boulder very responsive and quick to maneuver. This equates to...

Modifying Flies, with Tim Cammisa
Posted on April 07 2022
This week, my guest is author, You Tube personality, and author Tim Cammisa [34:00]. We have a spirited discussion on fly patterns—which of the most common ones are untouchable, and which do we modify with different materials and techniques. And are they even the same fly if we modify them?
In the Fly Box, we have some great questions this week, including:
For streamer fishing for smallmouths, should I use my existing 6 weight or should I get a 7-weight rod?
Is the 10-foot 3-weight Euro nymphing rod the same as a 10-foot crappie jigging rod? If not how is it different? And is Euro nymphing really fly fishing?
Where do you use split shot and where do you use tungsten putty? Or is it purely personal preference?
I have been tying clinch knots by pulling on the tag end and it seems to be very strong. Do you think I am doing it the wrong way?
Can I use a Duncan Loop to attach a leader directly to a fly line?
Should I use a sinking line for streamer and nymph fishing?
How can I improve the durability of Dragon Tail flies?
Do striped bass prey on trout in freshwater rivers?
If I use a Berkely Gulp on my fly rod, is it technically a fly?
I am fishing for tiger muskie from shore. What type of line do I need?
Our rivers in Tennessee have an abundance of non-toxic salamanders. Do you think trout eat them, and if so how can I develop a fly to imitate them?

Good news from the Everglades, with Steve Davis
Posted on March 31 2022
This week, my guest is Steve Davis, chief scientists for the Everglades Foundation [49:31]. Steve gives us an update on the Everglades restoration project, which will benefit fisheries and clean water throughout Florida and not just in the Everglades. And it’s an optimistic report, which we don’t always have when we report on conservation issues. So stay tuned for some good news—for a change!
In the Fly Box this week, we have some great questions of interest to most fly fishers, including:
What are the pros and cons of a loop-to-loop fly line to leader connection as opposed to a nail knot?
What rod should I get for small stream trout and panfish?
I want to give back to the fly-fishing community.
What organizations should I look to?
Tell me the realities of moving from a vest to a sling pack. Are eyes really important on saltwater patterns?
With improvements in rod technology, is a new Clearwater rod better than an older TLS Power Matrix rod?
What is your opinion on tippet length if I tie my own leaders?
Do trout and carp coexist in rivers and do they push each other around? I
s fishing for hatchery trout “cheating” and will I not learn anything useful fishing for them?
What is the product life cycle of a fly rod? Can you explain the differences between the various types of glues for fly tying?
I can catch fish on nymphs without an indicator, but I am having trouble when using one. What should I do differently?
I know fly lines are made to industry standards. Do the same standards exist for fly rods?
