Welcome back to another episode of The Articulate Fly with your host, Marvin Cash, featuring the insightful Mac Brown in our latest "Casting Angles" segment. This Memorial Day special kicks off with heartfelt gratitude to our veterans and active military members, honoring their sacrifices and highlighting the upcoming 80th anniversary celebration of the D-Day invasion in Bedford, Virginia.

As Marvin and Mac dive into the essence of fly fishing, they tackle the unpredictable weather in the Mid-Atlantic and its impact on fishing conditions. Mac shares his recent experiences, emphasizing the importance of adapting to high water and muddy conditions by seeking out higher, clearer streams for a successful fishing day.

Celebrating personal milestones, Mac proudly announces the Swain County High School boys' and girls' track teams' state championship victories, marking a significant achievement for his sons and the school. This leads into a thoughtful discussion on setting achievable goals in fly fishing, drawing parallels to the dedication and training in track and field.

Mac offers practical advice for anglers of all levels, focusing on mastering the drift with big dry flies, and the importance of line control to enhance your fishing technique. He delves into the nuances of dead drift and animated fly presentations, encouraging listeners to practice and perfect these skills to increase their catch rates.

The conversation underscores the value of continuous improvement and the methodical approach to fly fishing. Marvin and Mac remind us that success comes from setting small, attainable goals and building upon them, much like training for a sport.

For those looking to refine their skills, Mac highlights his upcoming specialty schools on wet and dry fly techniques, offering intensive two-day sessions packed with knowledge and hands-on practice. Interested anglers can find more information on Mac's website or reach out via email, phone or text.

So, whether you're navigating muddy waters or aiming for that perfect drift, remember to take it one step at a time and enjoy the journey. Tight lines, everyone!
