Landlocked Striper & Carp On The Fly

Listen at the player above or where you listen to podcasts

Landlocked stripers on the fly and carp on the fly. Begin cracking the code for catching these two difficult to catch species, when Southeastern Fly Guide and Host David Perry talks at length with Guide Henry Cowen in this episode. Henry leaves no stone un-turned as he talks about fly choice, the makeup of the species in salt and freshwater. Henry is a master at reading lakes and he goes in-depth about reading bottom contours, how to find the fish and how wildlife can work in your favor when hunting stripers. 

The discussion turns to carp and approaches to the species in different situations. Fly choices and feeding patterns are other topics that will peak your interest.

The guys compare football to steelhead and answer possibly the most compelling hot dog question, one that has been lingering for decades. 

Go listen to this episode, it is sure to make you a better angler.

***New Episode*** Southeastern Fly- The Angler's Influence

On this episode of the Southeastern Fly- The Angler's Influence we go back to the Panhandle of Florida to talk Cleve Evans who is the owner of Forgotten Coast on the Fly. This time we talk species and locations for trout to tarpon. We talk all things fly fishing from why we practice casting to how we explore new areas to how we explore new areas and why exploration is important.

Our first stop are the mountains of North GA where Cleve learned to catch freshwater trout with his Grandmother in and around Suches GA. As Cleve grew and learned more about fishing, he picked up the fly rod and eventually went to Calloway Gardens where Kent Edmonds taught him the basics of casting and fishing on the fly. 

From there Cleve joins friends and begins to explore the areas he spent in his youth. Finally, Cleve landed on Panama City Beach and began to explore the Florida Panhandle. He was bit by the saltwater bug and bought a skiff to further explore the area for redfish, jacks and tarpon. 

You are invited to come along as we get to know Cleve Evans, Owner of Forgotten Coast on the Fly.

Southeastern Fly presents The Angler's Influence Podcast

I’ve been listening to podcasts for several years. When I decided to start a series I couldn’t think of a better person to interview than my friend Susan Thrasher. Susan is a fantastic guest and is a great conversationalist. 

If you are just relaxing, mowing the yard, on a flight, or on the way to the river hopefully you will take some time and listen to the people who influenced Susan’s fishing adventures.

On this episode of Southeastern Fly presents- The Angler's Influence Podcast: we talk with Susan Thrasher about the anglers who shaped her fly fishing adventures. She talks about fishing with her Dad at an early age, the things she learned from Jim Smith who was a real trout bum, and a legend in fly fishing Joan Wulff who took Susan under her care and taught her the finer points of the fly cast. Later Joan selected Susan as a staff instructor for the Wulff School of Fly Fishing.
