You can learn a lot about fly fishing from reading books or watching videos, but they don't always tell the complete story. Often, the lessons that stick with us the most are the ones we learn when we have a tough day on the water, or when we finally figure out how to catch a certain fish that's been elusive all season. On this episode of Untangled, Spencer and Alex talk about the fly fishing lessons they've learned that don't really show up in guidebooks, and how applying these lessons will turn you into a better angler. You'll also be treated to a Lighting Round Q&A session, with tons of questions submitted from folks in the VFC Skool Group!

Thanks to VFC! I have learned more with you as teachers than in the decades of magazine articles from the best flyfishing experts!

[@venturesflyco]

That is quite a compliment. Appreciate the kind words and extremely happy you've found it helpful!

Happy 100th! It's become a Wednesday afternoon tradition for me to have a beverage (sorry but I hate diet soft drinks and enjoy beer) and listen to learn. I always pick up something but the main thing is inspiration. Here's a crazy one that happened to me yesterday. Monday dry droppers were not happening on my mountain stream. Tight line nymphing was. Tuesday I stubbornly went back to dry dropper. And got into fish immediately. Then I saw something strange. My attractor caddis looking thing started to jiggle and then a nice 14 inch rainbow (big for this water) slurped it. Yay I thought, he took the dry. And then the goat rodeo commenced. A similar sized fish had simultaneously eaten the nymph. I was not successful in landing the two fish but stood stunned in the water for a minute before moving on. It was a great day on my favorite stream 2 week's before it closes. Thanks for this great channel and content.

The old Two-fer trout rodeo!! Haha. So awesome. Thanks for sharing and glad you’re enjoying the shows.

[@daveschlom4033]

@venturesflyco I sure do. And still in shock about that fly fishing moment. This was a great show. The parts about wild places vs. just catching fis h really resonated with me. Nature is why I fly fish. That connection to a fish on a fly rod is magical.

Congrats on 100 episodes! Please keep it up

[@venturesflyco]

Plenty more coming your way!

excellent points! You guys do a great job. You can tell this is a true passion of yours. (teaching us to fly fish better) Thanks!!! What I would add 1) early in your fly fishing endeavor (if you can afford it) take a casting class at your local fly shop. 2) go fishing with a guide. Bad habits are easier to break if you never learn them in the 1st place.

Great show. I totally get that special feeling of being out on a river at first light. Magical. I’d love to hear more about that egg bomber fly pattern. Congrats on 100 shows.

[@venturesflyco]

😎👍🏽 Hope to have a tutorial for it in the near future.

[@RobertBango-q9s]

[@fshattered2808]

Happy 100 Episodes, I love tuning into untagled while I'm trying to do homework for my class. I recently just got into fly fishing and I really find this podcast helpful! I'm still waiting for an episode to talk about finding the right waders and boots. Diet Coke fam all the way

[@venturesflyco]

Glad to hear it. Join the community and ask about boots and waders there. We can help lead you in the right direction!

Happy 100....you guys don't look a day over 80 😁 Great episode !!!!

[@venturesflyco]

Haha. Appreciate it!

[@sterndala308]

Happy 100th episode! Could you guys please make a video about you asking an AI to create any dryfly or nymphe pattern, then binding and testing it in real on trout? Would be really interesting! Greetings from Germany 🤗

[@venturesflyco]

Might be fun! Haha.

[@jerryg957]

Great video, thanks.

[@speyco]

Just came across the Pod cast today not much of a trout fisherman more into swinging flies around for steelhead and it seems less scientific really looking forward to learning more too see if this will matter in my home water

[@dkasparaitis]

2 things. Bigfoot is very stealthy and an excellent fisherman. Also let's get some stuff up on those plan white walls. I can send you an 8x10 photo of myself if you need something to hang. :)

[@venturesflyco]

Had to pull an audible and do it at the kitchen table this episode. Haha.

[@dkasparaitis]

@@venturesflyco Just messing around, it was a great episode as always

[@chasselynch5733]

Man that's crazy having to drive 2 or 3 hours just to find decent water glad I live in Pennsylvania 😅😅

[@magsvt81]

Ask Tom Rosenbauer onto the show!! Do it with you guys!

My beginner set up is a Scientific Anglers 5 weight starter set. Did I pick the wrong setup. It cost $100.00 It is still what I use at least once a week.
