S7, Ep 37: Cicadas, Stripers and Smallmouth: A Spring Fishing Update with Matt Reilly

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash reconnects with Matt Reilly for the latest Southwest Virginia Fishing Report. The conversation begins with Marvin sharing his recent travel adventures and the challenges of pollen season, which has been particularly tough on Matt as he navigates the striper fishing scene. They discuss how the warmer weather has led to an early start for striper action, but with low water levels, the fishing conditions are quite variable.

Matt provides insights into the current state of the fishing, emphasizing the need for rain to improve water conditions and the potential for a fruitful summer if the weather cooperates. They also touch on the upcoming smallmouth season, with Matt explaining how he plans to transition from striper fishing to targeting smallmouth bass as they move into post-spawn behavior.

Listeners will appreciate Matt's expert advice on fishing techniques, including the use of topwater patterns and streamers, as well as his thoughts on the upcoming cicada hatch. He highlights the importance of understanding the localized nature of cicada emergences and the need for scouting to find the best fishing spots. This episode is filled with practical tips and a camaraderie that will inspire anglers to hit the water.
