Good advice! Reflects my experiences with riffles, for the most part, after 60 years fly fishing! Well done!

Charlie - Tom K from Salida.  It was great to see you, Lisa and Larry.   Thank you so much for all you have done for me over the years.

Never understood this til this year, so much fun catching them in the riffles

The best advice I have ever gotten from a guide: Never wade through any water you haven't already fished.

That is awesome great podcast great job guys

This was the video I've been waiting to hear about this Spring. Minus the ball gag, but hey.. Thanks!

Great video. Riffles have always baffled (rhymes) me. This is good intel.

Riffles are the heart of the system.

Nicely done, I loved it

Fishing the Madison yesterday came up on a really shallow riffle that dropped into about 1.5 foot bucket couldn’t see any fish but put on a Royal mini chubby with a little perdigon dropper . Caught 5 fish out of that 20 yard stretch. 4 on the dropper one on the dry . Couldn’t have been a better set up .

Great information thank you.

Fishing a riffle today, 6 to 10 deep very choppy water. A blue herion got a 15 inch trout 30 feet from me was really cool to watch. Ruffles are very oxygenated water too.

What video is Charlie referencing that shows the nymph rig?

Im gonna need a Charlie Flava Flav sticker.. Not sure why im just now noticing that ahaha

Favorite way to fish riffles? Start at the tail out where the bottom rises up out of the pool. Streamer fished perpendicular or swung. Then fish the riffle, coupla casts, step down a coupla feet, do it again.

Good stuff! Only comment is that tactics change on small spring creeks like more wading stealth and walking the banks is most times not an option for looking for big trout!

Can we get a CFB on the water showing this stuff?

How do you keep the flyagra from leaking out of the bottle lid? This is my third bottle and all three have leaked even with the lid tightly screwed on.
