In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Adams, Director of Science and Conservation at the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. We discuss the importance of Aaron’s freedom to explore fisheries as a child in Maryland and Virginia, how we can be more observant when fishing, and the importance of habitat for fish populations. Also check out April Vokey’s Podcast with Aaron to hear him dive into more questions about Tarpon and Bonefish.
Back to School: Casting with Austin Orr – Captains Collective Fishing Podcast
In part two of the Back to School mini-series, I sit down with Austin Orr of Elevate Fly Casting to talk about casting as a real craft, not just something you “figure out” by spending time on the water.
Austin is a full-time casting instructor and certified instructor through Fly Fishers International. We get into what beginners need to feel first, why most casters try too hard, how instruction should be built one piece at a time, and what it takes to prepare for real fishing situations where the shot matters.
This conversation covers casting triage, loop control, double hauling, fishing under pressure, saltwater sight-casting, how often to practice, what to do if you cannot afford instruction, and why the work should happen before you step onto the bow with a guide calling out fish.
