How to Pick a Floating Trout Line, with Jesse Haller
Confused about which floating trout line to pick when you need a new one? I'm not surprised as today there is a dizzying array of options and nearly everyone is confused. If you understand what the various options offer the decision is much easier, so I asked product developer Jesse Haller [41:00] to help all of us make this important choice. We talk about what you get in the more expensive lines that you don't get in the price-point lines. We discuss tapers, whether your fly line should be a standard weight or a half- or quarter- or full-size heavy, smooth...

Fly Fishing for Steelhead and Salmon in Estuaries, with Reed Teuscher
You can catch salmon and steelhead on a fly in salt water before they enter rivers. The fish are bright and strong and may still be actively feeding but the problem is to find them in a big expanse of water. Reed Teuscher [41:01] of the Orvis Outfitters team tells us where to look for them, how to present the fly, what kinds of rods and lines you need—and of course what fly patterns seem to work best.

Best Practices for Wader Care and Fit, with Natalie Cullum
I get a lot of questions about wader care, storage, and washing instructions. Fit can also affect how long waders last and how comfortable they are.

My guest this week is Natalie Cullum [27:14], Orvis product developer in charge of waders and technical outerwear.
