62. Fish Food&Fly Selection - a podcast by Southeastern Fly

We're taking a deep dive into the critical subject of fish food and fly selection. Our approach is a unique one: we'll be unraveling the topic season by season, providing you with a comprehensive annual cycle of food as it relates to your choice of fly patterns.

The real beauty of this approach? You can recycle information year after year. We discuss the invaluable resource of past fishing reports, those hidden gems that hold within them patterns, habits, and insights. Picture this: It's March and you're gearing up for a fishing trip. You sift through the trove of past fishing reports - be it your own, others found online, or those from your local fly shops - and you discover what the fish were up to during the same period of time in the past. We're talking up to five years ago or more.

David references his own guide trips dating back to 2007, revealing a wealth of information: fishing statuses, updates, choice of flies, water conditions, and so much more. Remember, though, this isn't about following the exact steps we took or the exact flies we used. Instead, it's about learning from patterns and applying them to your local context because let's face it - your waters and your fish may be entirely different.

The goal of this episode? To help you form a solid understanding of what your local fish are eating during different times of the year. We will do our best to keep things straightforward and digestible, so sit back, listen, and let's embark on this seasonal journey together.
