ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Let me start off by saying that fly fishing downstream is not my method of choice. It is harder. It is a lower probability approach. It is less than ideal.
But sometimes it is necessary.
Today I talk through three situations that might demand a downstream presentation. Even though all those caveats are probably still in play, fishing from an upstream position might be the only play at a particular fish. And all that said, there are better ways to do it if you must.
*Note* My dislike of fly fishing downstream is pragmatic, not wrapped up in ethics or tradition.

It is important to remember that when you start fly fishing, you don't have to bury your spinning or baitcasting rod six feet under. While the rods are emblematic of relatively diverging angling cultures, they are simply tools. You can use both. But if you've been throwing lures for any lengt…
I do talk about fly fishing gear a lot on Casting Across. But there is something that will trump equipment nine out of ten times: skill.
Within reason, your proficiency with equipment will overcome not having that rod, fly, or gadget that is designed specifically for a particular task. This is a g…
How small is too small? Well, there is certainly a line. But small almost always gets bigger.
When scouting for trout, that last sentiment is helpful to remember. Just because a blue line on your map doesn't immediately yield fish, it isn't automatic that you should abandon all hope. You might jus…
