Dangerous Fly Fishing

Episode 20 - Ice Persists

Chris and Matt in studio. Discuss new toys and try a new fishing location. Matt orders a new custom set of ice rods from Tom at Chippewa River Custom Rods.  Cooper accidentally joins the Polar Bear Club.  Slow weekend for catching fish. More of a quality over quantity weekend. Matt almost wrecks and loses his truck in the lake.

Episode 19 - Magic Pee or Magic Hole?

Episode 19 - Quite a bit of fishing; both hard and soft water.  Attempted to fly fish but catastrophe strikes.  Friendly encounter with the fish commission.  Apparently, they don't teach officers you can fly fish for musky.  Kentucky is now a no go.  Good cracks, bad cracks.  4 lb. fluorocarbon is an insufficient bite leader! Fish one of the top 10 ice fishing locales.  Is it magic pee or a magic hole?  Bladders are apparently larger than 20 oz.

Episode 18 - Vanna White! Who can say no?

Episode 18 - Vanna White makes a guest appearance in a red sequent dress.  Also, longest... episode ever. Yeah, we have been drinking.  For this who remember, it's actually Ross, played by Vanna, in his head.  She's actually 67, so may not look great in that dress (though we all remember her from our youth so...).  Never mind, she kept it super tight.  We discuss new gear in ice fishing.  Our misfortunes in ice fishing. Strangely, take an odd turn into 18th century warfare.  Vanna's in the house so...

The Day That Almost Went Down In Infamy

Episode 17. Nick almost out fishes Matt and Cooper on the ice.  Thankfully, God interceded and debilitated Nick to keep the universe in balance.  Lots of ice of fishing, new toys, and a Simms warranty claim. For those into feet, we discuss Nick's (its as gross as you would think).

Episode 16 - When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade (mixed with iced tea)

Episode 16 - Chris, Matt, & Todd in studio. When your world is a frozen wasteland and you want to fish, what do you do? Go ice fishing.  Clearly, not our area of expertise.  The recent cold snap has locked up boat ramps, but Matt and Chris chase the fish under the hard water.  Tip ups are used for the first time since buying three years ago. Ice fishing refinements are discussed. Todd's plans for Kentucky tournament.

It's pretty cold!

Episode 16 - Chris and Matt go fishing.  It went about as well as you would expect considering the weather.  It was more floating down a flood creek dodging icebergs while drinking beer than fishing.  The cold makes for laziness as trees block the way and an idiot forgot to bring the saw he specifically purchased for this exact reason.  Discuss the Mandela Effect and whether a movie called "Shazam" really existed starring Sinbad.  Plans are weighed for the upcoming weeks considering the cold snap.  Virginia fly expo and chasing muskies on the James or ice fishing?  Stay tuned.

Too Fast, Too Furious

Episode 14. The waters are too fast and too furious, yet we find success in the face of adversity.  Cooper was a locked out of hunting.  The winter drinking season continues as we sample two more beers.  Discuss fish finders on the raft and kindness of strangers.  Apparently, also need to reiterate the importance of being a good net man.

Episode 13 - Can't fish so may as well drink!

Episode 13.  Family in town and weather doesn't cooperate.  What do you when you can't fish and it's an off week hunting? Drink, of course.  Chris was kind enough to bring a beer sampler.  We drink and rank them ALL.  Florida family experiences their first snow.  Discuss Sean's experience starting off saltwater fly fishing. Discuss fly tying and winter plans.  Sean may have gotten the green light for hunting post-Christmas.

Does a Matt shit in the woods? That's an emphatic NO!

Chris and Matt discuss the week's happenings with hunting and fishing.  We test whether the internet is always right.  Yes, as noted in the title, emergency gastro-intestinal distress is discussed.  We also provide a public service announcement regarding the do's and do not's of what to flush down the toilet.  Sean joins us to try out our new phone system.  Navy sings last!  Missed Todd this week to rub it in though.

Where is the other half?

Matt and Chris discuss being ripped off by the Dutchies. Where is the other half of Matt's deer.  Discuss hunting and fishing aspirations.  Little bit of sports talk and Cooper's campaign against pre-workout drinks.
