Untangled: Fly Fishing For Everyone | Ventures Fly Co.

How much of an influence has your home water had on your life as an angler? Has it shaped how you approach the water? The kind of fly fishing you love the most? What else has it taught you that you still remember, all these years later?
In the second episode of the Fly Fishing Stories series here at Untangled, Spencer Durrant weaves multiple stories of growing up on his home river, and how it shaped the angler he is today.

How often do you set up your nymph rig, ready to hit the water, only to realize that your flies are moving WAY faster than you wanted. You didn't think the water would be that fast, or that deep! 
The fix is simple, right? Just put on some split shot, increase the distance between your bobber and your flies, and you'll be in business. 
Well, that all depends on how much split shot you use, how fast the water's moving, and how heavy your flies are. Too much split shot, and you'll be losing your flies - and all your patience - in every snag. 
So, today on Untangled, you'll learn the foundational principles, and our favorite rig, for nymphign faster water WITHOUT losing flies! 
You'll also learn about: 
How to know what flies to use throughout an entire day on the water
The rigs Spencer uses and recommends for fly fishing in lakes
How to effectively fish a streamer on a 5-weight instead of a 6-weight
How to set the right depth to keep your nymphs in the strike zone

How much time do you spend worrying about your fly choice when you're setting up your nymph rig? If you're like most anglers, it's probably A LOT! But how much time and energy do you put into making sure your flies are drifitng at the right depth, before making a fly change? Probably not as much as you should. 
Today on Untangled, you'll learn about why depth matters more than fly choice when throwing nymphs, and how this tiny change can elevate your fly fishing game to new heights.

Fly rods are really important -- they're what we use to put flies in front of fish, and they help us make those flies look real, after all. But how much do you REALLY know about fly rods? Can you explain what the core features are that separate good ones from not-so-great ones? Today on Untangled, Spencer Durrant walks you through the key features he's found most anglers either don't know about, or misunderstand, and why they influence how your fly rod performs. 
You'll also learn about: 
How to learn about the different aquatic insects that trout eat
How to build confidence in your skills out on the water
Tips for casting more effectively when throwing an indicator and nymphs or streamers on your fly rod
