WFS 169 – Winter Dry Line Steelhead with Adrian Cortes

01/12/2020/i Podcast /af Wet Fly Swing Fly Fishing Podcast
https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wetflyswing/Adrian_Cortes_Podcast.mp3

Show Notes: wetflyswing.com/169

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Adrian Cortes to dig into dry line steelhead with a focus on winter steelhead.  Adrian is one of the leaders in dry and wet fly fishing without a sinking line.

We find out how to “get down” to the fish without a sinking line during the most challenging time to catch steelhead.  Tons of tips and resources that will help you avoid the bottom dredging this winter.

Show Notes with Adrian Cortes

– I had Richard Harrington on the podcast in episode 159.

– We talk about Todd Hirano and the dedication to skating flies.

– Bill McMillan was a big influence for Adrian and Todd Hirano.  We talk about the connection to the old school without all of the tech advances.

– Lee Spencer on the North Umpqua cuts off the hook just like Harry Lemire.

– The Winter’s Hope, by Bill McMillan was tied specifically to sink on a dry line.

– The 3/0 Partridge Code M and the Blue Heron Hooks plus the Alec Jackson hooks have some weight.  But the code M is the best to use for weight.

– I noted Big Red who helped me back in the day.

– A farlows perfect reel to balance out the bamboo rod.

– Adrian noted John Gierach who was on the podcast in episode 47,

– Silver Ardea is a classic pattern that is not married and allows it to sink better.

– Sid Glasso’s Orange Heron

– Adrian’s Fly board of retired flies and their stories.

– Jin Woo Lee is a great tier in hand who has some great tying in hand videos on youtube.
