How to Behave on a River, with Todd Tanner

I don't like to use the word etiquette as that implies rules and we should be able to fish however we want as long as it's legal. But there are traditions and guidelines for conduct on trout rivers that ensures that everyone has a good day on the water without infringing on the rights of others. And they do sometimes differ depending on whether you are floating or wading, and even form one river to the next depending on how crowded they are. Todd Tanner [34:22] offers a very thoughtful and interesting approach to this subject with lots of anecdotes on what he has seen on the many trout rivers he's fished in his lifetime. Do boomboxes and dogs belong on trout rivers? Listen to what Todd has to say on those topics.

In the Fly Box this week we have these questions and more:
What do you think about the AI in relation to fly fishing?
Does the Orvis Wading Staff really self deploy?

My graphite ferrule does not seat all the way. Is this OK?

Brass is 7% heavier than stainless steel. Why don't we use more brass for our nymphs given the scarcity of tungsten?
A listener makes the case for the Helios D rods for trout fishing
What do you think about the Hovering Leech pattern? Will this technique work in rivers?
Do trout release stress hormones when we play them?
Do chubs and trout feed in different places in trout streams?
