Today, Tom speak with famous fly store owner, author, conservationist, and fly designer Craig Mathews. Although this is a podcast about a fly-tying product, there is a lot more details here– such as how to fish little flies and how to see those small flies on the water.

Learn more about why pheasant tail is such a wonderful product, how to connect a long lasting pheasant-tail body, and how to utilize it on dry and damp flies, in addition to nymphs. Matthews– creator of Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, Montana– is a genuine font style of knowledge, and he’s got a brand-new book coming out, Pheasant Tail Simplicity: Recipes and Techniques for Successful Fly Fishing, co-authored with Yvon Chouinard and Mauro Mazzo.
