Who is the Finest Fishing Guide Who Ever Lived? With Monte Burke

Who is the Finest Fishing Guide Who Ever Lived? With Monte Burke

My guest this week is one of fly fishing's best writers and storytellers Monte Burke [31:35], whose writing you may have seen in Garden & Gun, Forbes, or The Drake—or perhaps you've read his book, and one of my favorite fishing books, Lords of the Fly. To discover who Monte, and many other people (including me) consider the finest fly-fishing guide who ever lived, you'll have to listen to the podcast. You'll also learn about his new book of stories, Rivers Always Reach the Sea.

In the Fly Box this week, we have some questions that I think will help many other fly fishers solve problems they may have, including:
A listener informs us about the different grain weights in standard fly lines, and how there is a much bigger percentage difference in lighter lines than heavier ones.
What do you think about hooks that get left in a fish's mouth?
What would you look for in an ideal brook trout spot?
How can I keep panfish from grabbing my carp flies?
Is there an advantage to silicone fly boxes over ones with foam strips?
If I practice casting with my 4-weight fiberglass rod, will that affect my casting on other rods?
How do you use a dubbing loop and when do you use one?
The solid metal eyes on my redfish flies sink too quickly. Should I use bead chain or plastic eyes instead?
What is it about CDL feathers that make it worth using?
