In this episode of the Fly Fishing Insider podcast, host Christian Bacasa interviews Kip Vieth from Wildwood Float Trips. They discuss bass fishing in the Mississippi River and the unique characteristics of the fishery. The conversation covers topics such as water temperatures, fish behavior, fly patterns, and fishing techniques. Kip shares his insights and experiences as a guide in the area, providing valuable information for anglers interested in smallmouth bass fishing. In this conversation, Kip Vieth discusses his approach to fishing for smallmouth bass. He explains that he primarily fishes topwater near the bank or rocks, but in the summer, he switches to mid-river patterns. Vieth emphasizes the importance of manipulating the fly after the strip, creating a motion after the motion to entice strikes. He also discusses the significance of fishing the drop-offs and edges, as well as the visual aspect of smallmouth fishing. Vieth recommends using larger rods and flies to trigger aggressive strikes from smallmouth bass. Takeaways The Mississippi River offers excellent smallmouth bass fishing opportunities, with clear water, diverse habitats, and a variety of fly fishing techniques. Water temperatures in the river range from 55°F in May to the mid-80s°F in August, with the best fishing usually occurring in the spring and early fall. Topwater flies like poppers and divers are effective for smallmouth bass, especially in the summer. Other successful fly patterns include crayfish imitations, minnow patterns, and sculpin patterns. Fishing techniques vary depending on the season and conditions, but dead drifting flies, stripping streamers, and using a sink tip line are common approaches. Catch and release is the norm for smallmouth bass in the Mississippi River, with regulations allowing for the keeping of one fish over 20 inches. The river is also home to other species like muskie, pike, and walleye, providing additional fishing opportunities. Fishing topwater near the bank or rocks is effective for smallmouth bass. In the summer, switch to mid-river patterns and focus on drop-offs and edges. Manipulate the fly after the strip to create a motion after the motion.

In this episode, James Johnson discusses fly fishing for bonefish, tarpon, and permit in Belize. He emphasizes the precision and visual cues required for flats fishing, where anglers cast to fish they can see. Johnson explains how to spot nervous water and the different ways fish react to flies. He also shares tips on casting and presentation techniques for each species, including the use of shrimp, crab, and baitfish patterns. Overall, the conversation provides valuable insights for anglers looking to target the big three species in Belize. In this part of the conversation, James Johnson and Christian Bacasa discuss various techniques and strategies for fly fishing in saltwater. They cover topics such as presenting the fly, reading fish behavior, using bait fish patterns, and fighting fish. They emphasize the importance of accuracy, speed, and versatility in casting, as well as the need to adapt to different wind conditions. James also provides tips on clearing the line and fighting different species of fish. Overall, this part of the conversation provides valuable insights for both experienced and novice saltwater fly anglers. Takeaways Flats fishing requires precision and the ability to cast to fish you can see. Nervous water can indicate the presence of fish, and different types of nervous water require different casting approaches. For bonefish, it's important to show the fly to the fish and make adjustments based on their reaction. Tarpon can be less erratic than permit, and the stripping technique can vary depending on the fly pattern. Understanding the sink rate of your fly and adjusting your presentation accordingly is crucial for success. Using different fly patterns, such as shrimp, crab, and baitfish, can be effective for targeting different species. Accuracy and speed are crucial in saltwater fly fishing Versatility in casting is important to adapt to different wind conditions Understanding fish behavior and using the right fly patterns can increase success Clearing the line and fighting fish require specific techniques Practice backhanded casting and accuracy on the back castFly Fishing Insider Blog is taking off and I'm putting out tons of content weekly.

A lot of you have been asking what I'm using these days. Specifically, I use products from these companies because they have been shown to last and be worth the money. They tend to last long and have good functionality. I'll try to add them to the podcasts from now on and keep the list up to date. Additionally, I'll be doing more reviews, but taking a look now is worthwhile.
