The #1 Reason Trout Don't Eat Your Fly | Ep. 158
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
There are a whole lot of reasons a fish won't eat your fly. Maybe you picked the wrong one, or you wore the wrong socks today. Or you forgot your semi-annual offering of used zebra midges for the river gods.
In all seriousness, there's often a much simpler reason fish aren't eating your fly: you've spooked them. This week on Untangled, you'll learn about how you end up spooking fish, even if you don't mean to, and a few tips for avoiding that.
You'll also learn about:
- How certain fly rods are designed for use in certain situations, and what you can expect when buying a 10' 4-weight to replace a 9' 5-weight
- How to tie flies that are more durable
- The pros and cons of using barbless hooks, and using them to make multi-fly rigs
