Have you ever wanted to go fly fishing in some incredible place, but you're unsure if you'll ever be able to afford it? I mean, with how expensive eggs are, traveling to fish is just out of the question - right? 

Not necessarily. If you're willing to make a few compromises, you can have an AMAZING fly fishing trip for relatively cheap. In this episode of Untangled, Spencer Durrant will walk you through the process he uses to plan fishing trips, including a half-dozen trips to Alaska while he was still either in college, or teaching high schoolo English. 

You'll also learn about: 

  • Tying on a dry fly to act as an "indicator" in a two-dry rig
  • Some tips for mending more effectively
  • Spencer's process for applying floatant to dry flies
  • Whether your dry-dropper rig needs to be two flies of the same species (a caddis dry and nymph, for example) 
  • How to match your leader/tippet size to your flies
