Captain’s Log… COVID-19 Pandemic… Quarantine… Week 1
There has been so much said about what we can’t do, but there is truly so much that we still can do. For fly fishers, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors, the world is still pretty much wide open.
This week on the podcast I talk about three things I’ve thought about and done during this weird turn of events: what to do before you go fishing, how to go fishing, and maybe even what you can think about while you’re fishing. As always, my hope is that you take what you hear and do something with it.
Stay safe out there. -Matthew

Matt, I really enjoyed this week’s podcast. Bringing some of your daily ministry to home with this episode helps to sooth the soul. Positive thoughts and deeds will keep us all healthy in both body & spirit.
One additional gear cleaning and tuneup recommendation is to wax your rod ferrules. I have frequently cast off rod sections, particularly with my salt rods, having overlooked this maintenance before the season.
Thanks, Dean. Some things are more important, and sadly it usually takes crisis to reveal that.
I’ve heard so many different takes on the ferrule waxing… I don’t know where I stand. I might look into that for an article or episode.
