<p> </p> <div>It's always interesting to find out that public figures can be as obsessed with fly fishing as we are. People like Harrison Ford, Jeff Daniels, Tucker Carlson, Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, and Dick Cheney are all serious fly fishers. (And no, I don't have any of them on tap for my podcast). But Rahm Emanuel [37:25] is a dedicated listener to this podcast, and when I had a chance to interview him I took it. There is no politics in this podcast interview—just a fanatic fly fisher who talks about why he loves it, how he finds time in his busy life to go fly fishing, and what excites him the most about it. This was a lively and fun interview with a fair amount of good-natured ribbing. </div> <div> </div> <div>In the Fly Box this week I have no voice files to play (hint, hint) but lots of great e-mails with interesting questions and a few tips from listeners, including:</div> <ul> <li> <div>A listener looks for advice on how to carry his fishing gear on a plane.</div> </li> <li> <div>How do I fish plunge pools? Why don't I catch anything in the deep spot below the waterfall?</div> </li> <li> <div>What rods do I need for fishing both small streams in Smoky Mountain streams and steelhead fishing in Ohio?</div> </li> <li> <div>A listener gives advice on the Orvis Dropper Rig Fly Box and why you need to check local regulations before you use a 3-fly rig.</div> </li> <li> <div>A listener relates a story of his great customer service experience</div> </li> <li> <div>Why did trout smash my size 20 dry fly but not connect?</div> </li> <li> <div>Will smallmouth bass and rainbow trout hold in the same water?</div> </li> <li> <div>What knots do you recommend for different presentations and why?</div> </li> <li> <div>What is the best way to get my fly under the mangroves without hanging up?</div> </li> </ul>

<div> </div> <div>I get lots of questions about dubbing, which is a simple process that we sometimes complicate with hundreds of different blends and as many opinions on how to apply it. But it's an essential skill in fly tying, so Tim [35:18] and I spend a whole podcast exploring types of dubbing, when you would use them, and different methods of applying this essential material. Tim is always a fun guest and this one is no exception.</div> <div> </div> <div>In the Fly Box this week, we have a some great tips from listeners and of course plenty of questions, including:</div> <ul> <li> <div>A great tip from a listener on how to estimate a fly line size using a kitchen scale.</div> </li> <li> <div>Does UV resin dry completely?</div> </li> <li> <div>Can I add head cement to the head of my Elk Hair Caddis?</div> </li> <li> <div>What is the protocol for tipping at a fly-fishing school?</div> </li> <li> <div>When you carry extra lines to the river, do you put them on extra spools or carry extra reels? And where do you put them?</div> </li> <li> <div>I have some 20-year-old tippet I was given. Should I use it?</div> </li> <li> <div>Do you have any recommendations for easily transferable materials that can be used for fry flies as well as streamers?</div> </li> <li> <div>A tip from a listener on how to safely carry a full-size camera when fishing.</div> </li> <li> <div>Where do baby carp hide? I never see them.</div> </li> <li> <div>Does adding split shot make it harder to hook fish?</div> </li> <li> <div>A tongue-in-cheek story about using songbird feathers on flies.</div> </li> <li> <div>I want to buy a house on a trout stream. What should I know before I do this?</div> </li> </ul>
