| Last week I had the distinct pleasure of joining Roger Maves for his podcast "Ask About Fly Fishing". Started back all the way in 2006, Ask About Fly Fishing is one of the most informative and respected sources of fly fishing information on the web and we went deep into matching the hatch, invertebrate life cycles, and how to fish them. Just a few of the questions asked and answered during the interview: - What are the three categories you use to describe flies?
- What is more important size, color or shape?
- Why are flies like the Red Dart and Blowtorch so effective?
- How do you organize your fly boxes?
- What is a life cycle and why is it important to understand?
- What are the life cycles for mayflies, caddisflies, midges and stoneflies?
- What stages of the life cycles are the most productive for fishing?
- What flies work best to imitate the different stages?
- What places do you look to see what insects are active?
- How would you imitate daphnia?
- Is fly selection just as important as drift depth and presentation?
