S7, Ep 10: Transitioning Seasons: East Tennessee Fishing and Fly Tying Adventures with Ellis Ward

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash reconnects with Ellis Ward for an insightful East Tennessee Fishing Report. As spring teases the region with fluctuating temperatures, Ellis shares his observations on the current fishing conditions in Johnson City. With the Watauga River clearing up and promising flows ahead, he discusses the impact of recent weather patterns on fishing and the anticipated hatches, particularly the blue wing olives.

Ellis dives into the post-spawn fishing scene, sharing tips on streamer fishing and the effectiveness of various fly patterns, including his favorites like the Drunk and Disorderly. He reflects on his recent tying experiments and the creative adjustments he's been making for winter fishing, including some innovative musky flies that have proven successful with clients.

Listeners will also hear about Marvin's upcoming projects, including his participation in Bobbin and the launch of a new predator fly podcast, The Butcher Shop, featuring notable guests from the predator fly community. This episode is a must-listen for anglers looking to stay informed and inspired as the fishing season thaws out and heats up.
