THIS is the moment you've been waiting for all year long! Fish are about to start BLOWING UP dry flies, like those flies just asked their sister to the prom! 

It's terrestrial season, when bugs like grasshoppers, ants, and cicadas are available to the fish. And if you play your cards right, you have a great chance of catching a HUGE fish on a dry fly. 

This week on Untangled, you'll learn all about terrestrials. From tips to fishing them, to our favorite patterns, you'll end the show ready to put your new personal best in the net! 

You'll also learn about: 

  • Troubleshooting your way through fish refusing your dry flies, even when you're using an exact match for bugs you see on the water
  • Why the in-line tandem rig is the best way to set up your dry-droppers
  • Whether the direction of your hook set matters when fishing for trout
