In this Q&A episode, I share some of the best questions and comments I’ve ever received. Feedback (of any kind) is always exciting. Today, I talk about rod choices, guide recommendations, and favorite gear. These are things that I like discussing on my own. When you’re the reason I get to elaborate and pontificate on …
Every week I get some interesting emails because of Casting Across. Most of the time, they’re quick observations or pertinent questions from website readers and podcast listeners. I think it is great. And I do my best to respond quickly and thoughtfully. In fact, I actively encourage feedback. Leading up to podcasts episodes that end …
On Friday, I’ll post for the 1,000th time on Casting Across. I’ve written about the quarry and culture of fly fishing three times a week, for 333 weeks, over the course of nearly six and a half years. There are plenty of gear reviews, outdoor stories, and articles on technique in the back catalog. There …
These nine photographs aren’t terribly exciting. What they represent is what I did in 2021. They also represent what you “liked” the most about Casting Across last year. I don’t obsess over the analytic side of Casting Across. But it can be interesting. One of the things that interests me is what interests you. I …
You write, I respond. And it is one of my favorite parts of Casting Across. This week I discuss net storage, what to wear inside your wading shoe, and fishing alongside someone who thinks existential thoughts. These three reader/listener comments were really good, and I think that you’ll benefit from my answers to their questions. …
Since I started Casting Across in 2015, my desire has been to share the things I enjoy about the quarry and culture of fly fishing. I set a standard for myself: three posts a week. So, for six years I’ve been publishing content every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Every once in a while an article …
One of my favorite parts of Casting Across is that it keeps me close to an industry that I have truly come to appreciate. The people in and around fly fishing are, in my opinion, a great and diverse group. Over the past six years, my writing and speaking have given me more chances to …
I had something planned for today, for the 6th Anniversary of Casting Across. The plan was to share some of the highs and lows of writing and talking about fly fishing three times a week for six years. There were some angling stories, some life events, and some interesting perspectives that come from recording my …
Where and how do you get your fly fishing content online? That might sound like a loaded question. A dozen anglers might give you thirteen different answers. Just like the last generation had allegiences to authors or magazines, today’s anglers swipe to the same digital providers with devoted thumbs. And there are a lot of …
I’ve reviewed a lot of fly fishing gear on Casting Across. But I’ve read exponentially more than I’ve composed myself. In the past 20 years, I’ve bought gear based upon positive reviews. I’ve also decided against equipment because of negative reviews. My life (and shopping) is one piece of evidence that demonstrates the power of …
