There is plenty of water, but not too much. The spring chinook are spawning, so the native rainbows are on the egg grab. And there are good hatches, so the rainbows are looking up. Colorado’s Sprague Lake is fishing great if you ask Kirk’s Fly shop. About a size 16 Flashback Pheasant Tail, trailed with a pink San Juan Worm #16 or an egg pattern is gonna git ‘er done. On top you could use a Size 20 Yaegers Neversink Gnat or a Parachute Adams. Out of Panama City, Florida, The spanish mackerel are in full force. Spoons, small diving lipped lures, Christmas tree rigs & smaller live baits will all work. The fall kings are not far behind. There is still an occasional sailfish around as well.

Guest Intro It’s been a while since we did a regular episode – the last couple have been video specials, so we wanted to show the love for our audio podcast amigos. Plus, all three of us have been on the road and had some crazy adventures. Unfortunately, Brian’s sick today and that’s too bad because he had some epic stuff go down in BC and before that, he was over on Cape Cod. You’ll have to settle for Mike and I but we promise not to disappoint. Brian / Moldy Chum News (http://www.moldychum.com/) If Brian WAS here, I know what he’d say. He’d say that they had low expectations when they headed to B.C. to meet some steel, but they found fish. Even when the water is high, the fish are there, and they scratched a few out. But on their last day – and epic day – 8 guys caught 40 fish. For Pacific Northwest steelhead, there’s only one way to describe that, and it’s EPIC. Brian said he caught one of the most gorgeous, perfect specimens of hen steelhead that he or his guide had ever seen. Not a scale out of place. Wish he was here to tell you for himself. On The Chum: A Backyard to Nowhere is the top post – this film is going to make a ton of buzz. It’s also profiled in this month’s This Is Fly, and you must – must – must read about it. Check out the trailers on the Chum and you’ll know immediately why we’re scrambling to get these guys on the Schtick. On October 12 – a very interesting post in which skeptic Dr. Gerald Smith, a fish biologist from the University of Michigan, challenges whether Asian Carp really pose a risk to the Great Lakes. And on October 11 – Frankenfish are getting closer to store shelves: thanks, FDA. Plus, Ashton Kutcher may have legitimately caught the fly fishing bug, there’s a Hatch sticker on his Mac – Fitz Cahall’s Season 2 – and the current Slab of the Month voting is on. A crazy Montana brown trout is leading with almost 60% of the vote,

Good flows temps, so look for big eats if you are willing to commit to a hopper. Nymphs almost always outfish dries on the lower. Fish the buckets between the weedbeds or the fast runs for the most action. Brian is still out east, and the stripers are going good. Concord Outfitters in Connecticut says the Farmington is back in tip top shape. The high water has receded and the silt has settled down. Good fishing throughout the TMA to be had right now. If you've been holding off due to high water flows, stock your boxes with tan caddis and pheasant tails and you should be in good shape. Probably the best fishing in the Ozarks right now is on the White River below Beaver Lake if you listen to Just Fishin’ guides in Bentonville. Wade it  from the dam to Parker Bend, but you’ll find the better fishing from just above Cane Break to Parker Bottom. The river bottom has changed with some new holes, so be careful. Try small streamers and soft hackles early, then nymphing later in the day. For a free fishing report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor fished Alaska’s Naknek River, a tributary to Bristol Bay in this year’s 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. They were our fundraising leaders by such a wide margin that they out-raised last year’s entire 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon. It’s a testimony to who they are, what their fishery is about, and how much passion people have for defeating Pebble Mine. They join us today from Alaska Sportsman’s Bear Trail Lodge (http://www.fishasl.com/naknek/) . Brian / Moldy Chum News Brian’s on vacation this week so we’re sure he’d want you to see the video postcard by Don Himsel from Cape Cahhhd (http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/22/cape-cod-fly-fishing-video-postcard.html): http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/22/cape-cod-fly-fishing-video-postcard.html There’s a really cool post on September 20 (http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/20/an-anonymous-band-of-artists-paints-a-huge-pair-of.html) of some artists who painted a giant pair of scissors cutting down a dam in Ojai: http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/20/an-anonymous-band-of-artists-paints-a-huge-pair-of.html And as a Wild Steelhead Coalition member, I’m sure Brian would mention that the Elwah Hatchery deal is going to court (http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/19/send-lawyers-guns-and-money.html): http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/9/19/send-lawyers-guns-and-money.html Teeg / Recycled Fish News Fish Itch – it’s alive! http://fishitch.com The 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon was a record SMASHER!

Oquirrh Mountain Outfitters gives it four stars out of five right now. The Pere Marquette River Lodge reports Salmon, salmon and more salmon in Wisconsin. Tons of fish have been pouring through the lower river system for the past week or so! These first fish are bright and super aggressive. Some days are good, some are great. Low light conditions are the name of the game. Cape Cod is giving up big fish, especially at night, and 40 pound stripers are not only possible, but quite possible right now with some awesome fishing over the Labor Day holiday weekend.  Miss Loretta Fishing scores the fishing a full five stars right now.

Guest Intro You know that feeling when you drop your fly a couple feet ahead of a fish — heart beating, hands shaking, you strip, strip … and WHAM the water erupts - the fly is devoured, the line goes taught and the fish is off. You’re on. That’s what Cheeky Fly Fishing is all about.  I totally stole that straight from their website, and we’ll get Cheeky’s Ted Upton to get into the rest of his story on today’s Schtick. Brian / Moldy Chum News What’s new with you? What’s new on Moldy Chum? Teeg / Recycled Fish News Teeg News Recycled Fish News (http://mauromedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/boss_tin-595x223.jpg) Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Coast to Coast and across North America! Anglers cast off tonight in the Recycled Fish 24 Hour Fish-A-Thon presented by Scheels and Griffin Fishing Charters. It’s the fishing version of a marathon to raise awareness for the problems facing our waters, and money to help solve those problems through education. Up the Eastern Seaboard, if Hurricane Irene wasn’t bad enough, the passing of a tropical depression and subsequent storms are leading to even more devastating flooding. In the wake of that, plummeting dissolved oxygen levels mean massive fish kills. And more bad news from Utah. The parasite that causes whirling disease has been found in four rainbow trout taken from Utah's world famous Green River below Flaming Gorge dam. Clean, inspect and dry your boats, boots and waders, guys. In Washington – Keep all the fish you want from Alta Lake, Fish Lake and Schallow Pond in the Okanogan through October 22. Those lakes are getting a rehab. I said no…no…no. Mustad took out a little insurance policy with their new Hook A Million program. Set a state or world record with a Mustad hook and it could mean a ton of money in your pocket. On the web – and now your mobile phone – our friends at Fishhound have released the Fishhound app (http://fishhound.com/page/fishhound-mobile-apps) for your iPhone or Droid so you can know where to go and what to throw with a few clicks on your smart phone.

(http://mauromedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Fishhound-High-Resolution-595x185.jpg) Fishhound Fishing Report In California, river flows on the Upper Sacramento near Lake Shasta are EXCELLENT! Five Star Fishing especially morning and evenings. Water conditions are unusually cold (and clear) in the lower river thanks to continued snow melt. Look for rising rainbows in the tail outs. #16 Elk Hair Caddis should be a good fly for tail out risers. The hopper-dropper fly rig has been working well in the shallow, slower sections. Thanks to The Fly Shop for that report. Cross Currents Fly Shop in Idaho reports great fishing on The Blackfoot - right now as the flows are down to super levels for floating and fishing. The tube hatch is in full effect on the lower river as UM is back in session and on the nice weekends students flock to the river. Rain in the forecast is great news for anglers because it’s bad news for splash & giggle floaters. There is a fire in the valley so there is smoke and some delays on some of the roads in the area. Fires were bound to happen with as much fuel that has built up over the last couple of summers of above normal precipitation. Hopefully they will burn “in the right places” and not take out houses. Ohio DNR says fishing is very strong on Lake Erie out of Cleveland right now. Very good walleye fishing using Dipsy Divers with red, gold, silver, black, copper and purple spoons and stick baits. Excellent Yellow perch fishing off the Chagrin River, Fairport and Ashtabula. Finally try for white bass off the Eastlake CEI break wall and Mentor Headlands break wall.

Guest Intro If fly fishing has a “book,” in modern times, that book has been “A River Runs Through It,” because that book had a movie and that movie had Brad Pitt. But ask anybody who reads and who has been into fly fishing for more than a year or two what their favorite fly fishing book is, and they’re liable to say “The River Why.” If they don’t say, “The River Why,” they’ll say “Trout Bum” by John Gierach, but that’s another story. “The River Why” by David James Duncan is epic, beloved, treasured … and now it has a movie, too – one that’s been a long time coming. It stars Zach Gilford, William Hurt, Amber Heard and Kathleen Quinlan. We’re in luck, because today the producer of that movie, Kristi Cohen, joins us on the Schtick.

Fishhound Fishing Report with Ron Higgins. How’s fishing in South Texas? (http://mauromedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Fishhound-High-Resolution-595x185.jpg) Guest Intro Lake Conroe is famous as a big bass lake. Ron Higgins calls it a home water, and has seen fish over 13 pounds come aboard his boat. He also plies the waters of Lake Livingston and Lake Houston, and not just for bass. Stripers, Wipers, Catfish and Crappies are common quarry at Higgy’s Freshwater Adventures, and he’s got some good stories to tell on today’s Schtick. Brian / Moldy Chum News How was IFTD?

Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds Good news in Alaska – Trout Unlimited just finished a major salmon restoration project in the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. Great! Salmon can use all the good news they can get. Tragic news from Washington – A fisheries worker died last week during a steelhead survey on the Wind River. Mark Snepp, died while walking the bank and recording fish data from his diving partner. Weather Alert: Hurricane Irene is storming toward the coast of Florida, and could have major impacts all the way up the eastern seaboard. Batten down the hatches and secure your boats. More from Washington state, the pink salmon run is awesome, but sockeye returns are dismal. No Lake Wenatchee Sockeye Fishery This Year. Go stick some pinks. In Kansas – 7 lakes are under a Blue-Green Algae warning, more are under advisory status. Blue-Green algae can be fatal, especially to pets, but tend to produce flu-like symptoms. Blue-Green Algae blooms are happening nationwide, it’s not just Kansas. The Fly Fishing industry moves its IFTD show from New Orleans to Reno next year. Back to the mountains for the fly guys. In Pro Bass Fishing, South Carolina pro Todd Auten is the 2011PAA Angler of the Year. We’ll see him at the Toyota Texas Bass Classic with the other 15 top PAA Finishers.

Not only does Scott use Fishhound to get ready for his tournaments, he reports the conditions he finds when he’s fishing. Hear it from him:  Guest Intro Starting on Earth Day, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service launched a series of 50 stories for 50 consecutive weekdays exploring the many ways that climate change is impacting fish and wildlife across America. No geographic region is immune. Combined with other stressors such as urbanization, invasive species and water scarcity, climate change is disrupting natural systems upon which wildlife … and people … depend. The series covered 50 states, looking at regional challenges posed by climate change.  Today David Eisenhauer joins us from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service with stories from our wild and natural places, and how they’re changing. Brian / Moldy Chum News Dog Chases Sharks (http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/7/17/dog-bites-shark.html) Blitzing Bluegill (http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/2011/7/18/blitzing-bluegill.html) Teeg / Recycled Fish News ICAST was a blast! Thanks to all of our partners who helped spread the word. It’s time for our July Update to Stewards – that’s out now. Our new We Are Stewards shirt is out, get one and you could win a custom built rod from Dragon’s Custom Rods. Around the world of fishing in 120 Seconds It’s good news if you’re one of the companies who took honors at last week’s ICAST awards, here’s a quick list of some of the winners in this special ICAST edition of 120 Seconds. Best of Show award went to Berkley Nanofil line, which also won in the fishing line category. Not a braid or a superline, this is a low stretch, low diameter monofilament. Neat stuff. Berkley’s parent company, Pure Fishing, also took more awards than any other company this year – by a landslide. Frabill took best of show for their Frabill Suit – we also liked advancements in their Conservation Series nets line of products. Best Boat award went to Hobie for the Hobie Mirage Revolution 11 – Hobie always does an awesome job. Daiwa had the best combo, and G Loomis won in both best rod categories – best fly rod and best conventional fishing rod. The Costa Women’s Collection turned heads in the eyewear category. VestPac won Best Fly Fishing accessory with their DriftPac, and TFO won best Fly Reel for their BVK Fly Reel, even though this isn’t really a fly show. Speaking of reels, Abu Garcia’s Revo MGX was the show-stopper in conventional reels, those Revos are just amazing. Pure Fishing also won in kid’s fishing with Shakespeare’s Casting Game & Sound Fishing Kit. We loved seeing Patrick Sebile roll out a single-hook design crankbait, and it got the Best Hard Lure honors this year – another win for Pure Fishing. Koppers LIVE TARGET Hollow Body Mouse won for soft baits with an addition to their super-realistic line of baits.
