Title: Streamers, Nymphs, and Dries, OH MY!

Fly selection doesn't have to be complicated. In this episode, host Braden Evans breaks down the three core types of flies every angler should know: streamers, nymphs, and dries. Whether you’re a seasoned purist or a curious beginner, understanding the strengths of each fly type—and when to use them—can completely change the way you approach the water.

Braden reads his article “Streamers, Nymphs, and Dries, OH MY!” and follows it up with a practical discussion about adapting your strategy to meet trout on their terms. Learn when to switch tactics, how to read situations on the water, and why becoming a versatile angler is key to more consistent success.

🎧 Includes:

  • Streamer tips for aggressive trout

  • Nymph techniques that actually produce

  • Dry fly truths (and why they're not always the answer)

  • Real-world examples from Braden’s time on the water

  • Listener Q&A on presentation, fly choice, and more

Whether you're chucking meat, dead-drifting a nymph, or waiting for that perfect rise, this episode will help you sharpen your fly fishing game.
