We have fly fishing royalty for our guest on this episode. Emmett Heath from Trout Creek Flies joins us in this episode. Emmett has been guiding for over 20 years. Anyone who has been to the Green River before knows how frustrating it can be to watch these huge browns sipping bugs off the surface, but they don't give your fly the time of day. Emmett shares his secrets on how to get those picky trout to take your fly. Plus, He shares his techniques on streamer fishing and how he fishes for those lunker browns.

As in every episode I gather all the reports from all over the west and size it down for you and, read it back to you so you don't have to.

In this episode (our first one) I had a chance to meet with Norm Albiston. He has been teaching fly fishing and fly tying for over 20 years. He is currently the fly fishing instructor for the University of Utah. Norm shares some of his insights into what fly fish anglers should be thinking about this time of year.

Plus, what the biggests mistake he sees other fly fish anglers make. And he also hints to the idea that when you are fly fishing there are only 5 things you can change. I cant wait to have him back to find out what those are.

This being our first episode (and as far as I can tell the first podcast on fly fishing) we could really use your ideas. Go to the discussion forums and post your thoughts how we can improve the show. Let us know what you want to hear about.
