[Cast1] Preparing for a Fly Fishing Trip

[Cast1] Preparing for a Fly Fishing Trip

So you've made plans to go fly fishing. Not just a few hours at the local pond; not just the better part of a day at the river. You're going on a fly fishing trip. How do you prepare? Do you buy any and every fly that might be hatching? Do you do your best to not think about it so that the time doesn't drag on and the doldrums of normal life become painful compared to the coming angling glory? On the heels of last week's episode, I glance over some of the things that are wise to consider as you move from the planning stage to the preparing stage. You can do some things that will make real difference once you make your first cast on your trip. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
