Bibios, Heather Flies, Hawthorn Flies, Blossom Flies, Love Bugs - you name it.   An interesting critter that .. for some reason seems more popular in Europe rather than the US.  Whazzup with that?

Hey all - all about Quill Gordons and Theodore Gordon.  Hope you enjoy it!

Hey Folks, I'm back!  And here with an episode mostly about moths.  Yep. Moths as they relate to fly fishing.   Check it out, I think you will be surprised.

Hi folks!  Sorry for the delay, but we're back in the saddle with an episode about Blue Winged Olives ... which are kind of complicated and confusing - but I make it 100% clear.   I think.  I hope.

Hey folks - yep - worms.  Surprisingly interesting and entertaining even if the patterns are pretty mundane.   That said, don't forget to check out the blog to see the patterns I've posted.

Today we'll talk about cicadas and leafhoppers - plus we'll have a bonus interview with Charles Card - a guide on Utah's Green River - talking about the fun cicada "hatch" on that river.  To learn more about Charles and book him for a trip, you can reach him at Spinnerfall Guide Service:  www.spinnerfall.com

An episode all about the Zebra Caddis - aka the Alderfly.  Of course with historical diversions along the way.

How insects breathe underwater ... and more importantly, how we can imitate that.  Which I have to admit, I got a little carried away with.  This is probably my geekiest episode.  So if you want to get to the fly fishing part - jump to about minute 30.

Everything you could have possibly wanted to know about crayfish.  Maybe.   As well as the mysterious story around Selene's Sure Bet.

For the purposes of this podcast, the critters I'm talking about are the tiger striped nymphs that fall in the stonefly families Perlidae and Perlodidae.  Enjoy!

Aka Green Caddis, Green Sedges or Rhyacophilidae.  A common, easily identified caddis - at least in it's larval stage, that has wonderful behavior that makes it fun and effective to fish.   We'll talk about the critter - but also a lot about the flies and the history of the flies that imitate them.
