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. In the Fly Box this week we have these questions and more: How can I keep my dropper from twisting around the lea...

Who Owns the River, with Beau Beasley
Who owns the banks of a river? Who owns the bottom? Who owns the water that flows through a channel? And what defines whether a river is navigable or not? There are often no easy answer to theses questions, and much of it is determined on a state-by-state basis. Beau Beasley [35:27] has spent years looking at specific cases of access controversies, and some of you may not like what he says because he often comes down on the side of a landowner who prohibits access to a piece of river.

Out Of Office
Back in June, a group of nineteen Orvis Associates took part in the 27th annual Martha’s Vineyard Rod & Gun Club Fly Rod Striped Bass Catch & Release Tournament. The group ranged from expert anglers–say, Tom Rosenbauer and Pete Kutzer–to some who are relatively new to the sport, and all had a great time.
