The Articulate Fly

Join Marvin Cash and Ellis Ward as they kick off the new year with the first East Tennessee Fishing Report on The Articulate Fly.

He discusses the nuances of musky behavior during winter, tips for slower and deeper water fishing, and the prime time for streamer fishing for big brown trout.

Embark on a new year of saltwater adventures with host Marvin Cash and Captain David Blinken in the latest episode of On the Salt sponsored by Norvise. With the east coast in the rearview, David joins us from the snow-laden landscapes of Colorado, exchanging his fly rod for skis amidst a staggering 51-inch snowfall. Yet even as the powder piles up, his thoughts drift to the Yampa River and the trout that might be rising for midges.

As the conversation shifts back to the brine, David dives deep into the art of saltwater casting. He stresses the importance of mastering a quick, precise cast, able to deliver flies within two to three false casts to the ever-moving targets of the salt. He shares his unique approach to practice, setting up a fly casting obstacle course with hula hoops at strategic distances to simulate real fishing situations.

The episode takes an educational turn as David discusses the intricacies of retrieve patterns for various saltwater bait species. Whether it's baitfish, crabs, or shrimp, understanding the mood of the fish and adapting your retrieve accordingly is key. He emphasizes the importance of staying in constant contact with the fly, watching the fish's reaction, and adjusting your technique on the fly.

The Articulate Fly continues its tradition of engaging listeners with interactive questions and incredible promotions. Submit your questions for a chance to win a Hardy reel and a Wulff line, or have your question featured for an opportunity to snag a coveted Norvise.

So, whether you're bundling up for a cold day on the water or cozying up to tie flies, tune in for an insightful episode filled with expert advice and a touch of winter whimsy. Here's to a fantastic start to 2024—tight lines and happy casting!

Join host Marvin Cash and George Costa from TCO Fly Shop in State College for the first Central Pennsylvania Fishing Report of the year on The Articulate Fly. George, full of his usual zest, shares the wintry mix of weather that's put a damper on fishing prospects. With a storm having swelled the streams, George advises anglers to give the bigger creeks a rest and keep an eye on Spring Creek, which might be fishable once it drops below 200 cfs.

As sub-zero temperatures loom and snow is forecasted, it's the perfect time for fly tiers to hunker down at the vise. George highlights some exciting new materials and tools available at TCO, including MFC's new feathers and the Whiting 100 packs. He also teases upcoming fly tying events, classes and the much-anticipated show season.

Listeners are encouraged to gear up for the 2024 guide season by booking early, and in a light-hearted moment, George jests about his beverage of choice for the new year. The episode wraps up with the announcement of Brenner Johnson as the lucky winner of the TCO prize pack for his engagement with the show.

So, whether you're braving the cold for steelhead or cozying up with your vise, tune in for laughs and the latest updates. And don't forget, your questions can lead to fabulous prizes!

Dive into the new year with Marvin Cash and Matt Reilly as they deliver the first Southwest Virginia Fishing Report of 2024 on The Articulate Fly. Matt shares his holiday cheer and the joy of his little one's first Christmas, despite being laid up himself. But it's not all tinsel and mistletoe; the duo discusses the recent weather beatings—a concoction of rain, snow and impending freezing conditions—that have put a temporary pause on fishing escapades.

As the high waters recede and winter digs in its heels, Matt offers invaluable insights on musky behavior in the frigid waters and how to adapt your fly fishing strategies accordingly. Learn about the merits of high water musky fishing, the importance of choosing the right fly patterns and the nuances of fly line density to perfect that slow, enticing retrieve.

Matt also hints at the anticipation of muskies' post-storm hunger and how to capitalize on their chase instinct, all while navigating through murky waters.

If you've got questions or are hungry for more fly fishing knowledge, send them our way for a chance to win some exclusive Articulate Fly gear and be entered in our end-of-year drawing for some special treats from Matt himself.
