Workes well on the Blue River in Oklahoma while fishing for trout that were lurking upstream and parallel to the bank.
Was using an OPST Commando Head on a 10ft 3wt!

Apologies for the test livestream last night. I was working on a video switcher hardware and thought I was streaming unlisted.
Did get some of the bugs worked out, but still need to figure a way to monitor audio to make sure sound is coming through.
No worries, have a workaround for now.
This round I talk briefly about the Centerpin Fishing at the local pond using bread and then later a dough bait recipe from an article I posted a few years back.
Additionally, I mention a fly fishing tip that helps older fishermen with a touch of nearsighted vision line their fly rods a little more easier!
Also, I mention an app that I am working on to check your hookset, at least the timing of it. Stay tuned for more. Will post soon as I get it working.

As part of our Little Red Book of Fly Fishing series on our iFishNews Fishing Podcast, here is a video to expand on Tip 26 that calls for casting 40 feet in 4 seconds.
The book mentions fly casting from a practical caster standpoint – specifically, being able to cast 40 feet of line in 4 seconds to a target called out by someone else at random. This one had our interests, so we decided to give it a try.
Lesson Learned: It’s challenging, don’t try to recover from a bad cast or mistake just to make the 4 second time limit. Better to take to time to recover, and prepare for the next cast.
Do give it a try and see if you are a practical caster!

As part of our Little Red Book of Fly Fishing series on our iFishNews Fishing Podcast, here is a video to expand on Tips 3 – Point Your Cast and Tip 10 – Watch Your Thumb.
Point your cast suggests where you point your rod tip is also where your cast will go.
Watch your thumb is a good rule of thumb… LOL, to keep you from bringing your rod to far back on the backcast.
Both tips are solid… so since we are at a pond “practicing” decided to go ahead and go fishing, too!
