Join Marvin Cash and Mac Brown on The Articulate Fly for a new installment of Casting Angles, where they tackle the unpredictable nature of fly fishing. In this episode, they discuss the recent oddities in weather patterns and hatches, and how these changes affect fishing strategies.

Mac shares his firsthand experience of a day on the water when the forecast failed to hold true, and rain persisted despite a 0% prediction. He dives into the adjustments he made on the fly, emphasizing the importance of adapting to overcast conditions and the challenges of enticing fish to the surface when nothing seems to be working.

The conversation takes a deeper turn as they explore the concerning disappearance of the Mother's Day Caddis hatch, a significant event for park streams, and what this could mean for the ecosystem. Mac provides insights into the behavior of these caddis and the impact their absence has on the fishing landscape.

Marvin and Mac also offer valuable advice on how to approach fishing when your usual tactics aren't producing results, including how to read the water, observe other anglers and quickly pivot techniques. They highlight the nuances of fishing wet flies and dries in low light and the importance of using the line hand over the rod when setting the hook.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, this episode of The Articulate Fly is packed with wisdom and tips to help you succeed, even when the fish and the weather aren't cooperating. Tight lines!
