Episode Summary

On this episode of the Fly Fishing Journeys podcast, we are in the San Francisco area, in the Napa Valley on the Napa River, podcasting right on the river.

I was honored to get an invitation from Casey Rolig of Buff to fish for Striped Bass on the Napa River. Casey is a passionate fly fisherman. He covers the opportunities available on the Napa River as well as the greater San Francisco and Northern California areas.

Sun protection is crucial for the amount of time we as fly fisherman spend on the water. As a die-hard fan of the Buff products, I additionally asked him to review the Buff line up. When you combine sun-protection and style, no one does it better than Buff.

Episode Summary

The North Platte River in Casper, Wyoming is a world-class Rainbow and Brown Trout fishery.  On the Pod you will learn about “flush and flows”, the monthly fishing calendar and the bug life to make your visit more successful.  You will also find out Ryan Anderson and his guides at Wyoming Fly Fishing are really fun to be around, keep you laughing and on fish throughout the day.  On the North Platte, the majority of the fish are healthy-sized Rainbows but with a little work, you can also find that monster Brown you have always dreamed about.  We connected with Ryan at the Denver Fly Fishing Show and made a plan to visit Casper and float the river with him.  We visited in April and quickly found out the river is loaded with gorgeous fish. The main sections that should gain your attention are the Grey Reef, the Miracle Mile, and Fremont Canyon.  Enjoy the Pod and please pass it on to one of your fly fishing friends.  Thanks!

This episode is packed with golden nuggets! Bob goes in deep as he shares his passion for a legendary neck of the woods, the Rangeley, Maine area. 

Bob was born in NY and grew up in NJ but his heart has always been in Maine.  Having a camp on Aziscohos Lake, ME for over 30 years put him the middle of one of the most historic fly fishing regions in the northeast, Rangeley, ME.

We have a great conversation about his novels that portray the Rangeley area in story.

We move into one of the most articulate reviews of the fishing opportunities available to a fly fisher as Bob covers tips and tactics to find and catch large, native Brook Trout in Maine.

We finish by diving into Bob’s wealth of knowledge of fishing literature as he shares some of his top 10 lifetime fly fishing books.
