S6, Ep 106: Mousing and Muskies: Ellis Ward's East Tennessee Tactics

In this episode of The Articulate Fly, host Marvin Cash checks in with Ellis Ward for the latest East Tennessee Fishing Report. Ellis shares his passion for mousing and muskie fishing, emphasizing the thrill and challenge of targeting big browns and muskies. He explains his guiding philosophy, which focuses on providing unique and rewarding experiences rather than just ensuring a bent rod. Ellis discusses the nuances of night fishing and the importance of fishing without a moon, as well as the seasonal changes that affect fish behavior.

The conversation touches on the transition to early autumn, with Ellis offering insights into how cooler nights and changing water temperatures impact fish activity. He introduces the concept of lake turnover in tailwaters and its effects on dissolved oxygen content and fish behavior. Ellis also provides tips on adjusting fishing strategies, such as changing cadences, using weighted flies and experimenting with different presentations.

Listeners are encouraged to send in their questions for a chance to win Articulate Fly swag and be entered into a drawing for cool prizes from Ellis. Ellis wraps up by sharing how to reach him for guided trips and where to find more information about his fishing adventures.
