Show Notes:  http://wetflyswing.com/15

In episode 15 of the Fly Fishing show I had the pleasure of interviewing Peter Charles from Hooked4life.com.  Peter teaches steelhead fishing on the Grand River, one of the really classic and challenging Great Lakes Tributaries.

Peter brings a unique perspective to steelhead fishing because of the challenges of presenting a fly to steelhead in the Grand River.  Peter talks about how to assure the fly is above their heads.  Lot’s of great tips and perspective in this one from one of the best.

“The first thing I tell people is that a prey item doesn’t charge a predator.” -Peter Charles

 

Peter is a pro for Simms, Loomis, Airflo, Shimano and the Canadian Tube Company.  His skills are obvious as he talks about the research he has put together fishing for steelhead.  Some of the items he notes includes the need to make sure the fly looks natural and is not threatening.

Also we chat about the need to remove as many things as we can that might cause a fish to reject a fly.  For example, using too short a leader might be one major reason a fish would not be interested.

Are you thinking about how the fly swings in the water?  For example, in very cold water he will use an intermediate line to cover the water effectively.  He also notes that observation is an important thing to focus on before you even start fishing.

 

B&C Thingy is ready to go

Conclusion with Peter Charles

I wanted to give a big thank you to Peter for coming on the show and providing the great steelhead tips.  He fishes for steelhead in a very challenging place I know we are all going to take away some good stuff from this one.
