Before we can even start talking about fishing, we have to talk about staying warm and safe on the water during the coldest months of the year. After all, if you can't stay comfortable out there, you're not going to be catching up.

In this episode, Ross walks you through how to dress for cold-weather fly fishing from your head to your toes so you can stay as warm and as toasty as possible while you're out there ripping lips in a snowstorm.

You could do a lot of things in the colder months. You could hang up your waders and opt for a soft couch, a warm blanket, and a hot cup of coffee. Fly fishing can wait, right?

Well, not for everyone. If you're among the hardy souls who just have to be on the river regardless of the season, you're going to have to deal with the unique challenges of fly fishing in frigid water and below-freezing air temperatures. It's tough out there in the winter!

In this episode, Ross sets the stage for Season 2 by walking through the challenges of winter fly fishing--and talking about the reasons those challenges make it worth your while to get outside and make some tracks in the snow.

Happy Halloween! If you think ghosts and goblins are creepy, you should see what the backcountry can serve up. Anyone who has spent any time in the wilderness has creepy stories to share, and Ross is no exception.

In this episode, Ross recounts one scary encounter he had in a remote canyon far from home.
