Join host Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly for the latest Ruch Report with the man himself, Brendan Ruch. Brendan shares insights on early summer fishing conditions, including the excitement of fishing streamers in high water and transitioning to the topwater bite as water levels drop. Learn about the best techniques for targeting bass with topwater bugs, including the importance of shade lines and optimal depths for fishing.

Brendan also answers listener questions, including a humorous inquiry from a friend about listening to The Smiths while fishing. He provides practical advice on the best ways to fish topwater bugs, from the right amount of twitching to the importance of water clarity and depth. As summer approaches, Brendan discusses the upcoming topwater season and the end of the big streamer bite, recommending smaller streamers like finesse changers and shimmering minnows for continued success.

Don't miss Brendan's shout-out to his friends at Logjam and House Fly, and learn about the exciting prize pack he's putting together, including stickers, merchandise and a Ruch Angling hat. Whether you're planning your next fishing trip or looking for expert advice, this episode is packed with valuable information and a few laughs. Tight lines!
