  • Complaint Corner - High-Holing and Why It Sucks

    Complaint Corner - High-Holing and Why It Sucks
    Apr 18 2025

    It's time for a brief intermission in Season 3 of The Backcountry Fly Fishing Podcast. And what better way could there be to use that intermission than to complain a little about the stuff that annoys us about fly fishing?

    This is our first Complaint Corner episode--and likely the first of many. This week's topic? The infamous, the dastardly, the downright rude, the incorrigible high-holer. If that's you, STOP IT. If it's not you, well, enjoy listening to a full, detailed explanation of why this behavior is terrible and needs to stop.

    If you're enjoying the show, don't forget to follow us and (if you're feeling gracious) leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

    Return to the Freestones - Backcountry Fly Fishing in April
    Apr 4 2025

    After the weird 'tweener season of March, winter is FINALLY over. April brings warmer weather, warmer water, a whole bunch of bugs, and a return to the promised land for fly anglers--especially fly anglers who have been itching to get back into the bush after a winter of being stuck on the tailwaters.

    In this episode, Ross walks you through fly fishing in April--getting back on the freestones we all love so much, insect hatches, fly patterns, fishing tactics, and more. It's time to get back out there, my friends, and we've got you covered.
