“Snowhite? That’s like, a nickname, right?”

Knowing an 18-year-old me, that was probably how my first interaction with Rob  Snowhite went. I had just started working at the Orvis store in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Rob and a handful of guys in their twenties had been there for a while already. I learned a lot about fly fishing from them, and I learned a lot from being in the shop. Those were good days. Days when a paycheck often turned into a rod, a reel, or some waders immediately upon receipt – but good days, nonetheless.

After I started Casting Across and began to make my rounds in the fly fishing culture following a five-year hiatus, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar faces. Both in person at events like The Fly Fishing Show and through the internet magic of social media, I was able to reconnect with Rob.

We share an appreciation for the craziness of Northern Virginia, an affinity for Sheetz, and a love for fly fishing.

At the Edison Fly Fishing Show this past year we made plans to record a podcast. Shortly thereafter, we scheduled a Valentine’s Day Skype session and put the thing together.

You can listen to it below!

We talk a lot about brook trout: where they are, how to catch them, and, most importantly, what makes them special. We also discuss the old days, the NRoS (No Rods on Shoulders) movement, and a handful of other topics.

Want to catch a giant carp, some African cichlids, largemouth/smallmouth/striped bass, enough shad to wear your arm out, or a northern snakehead? If you live in or are passing through the Washington, DC area, have Rob take you out for a day of some of the most unique and exciting fly fishing you’ll ever have. His website has all the information you’ll need.
