I’ve been lucky to spend some pretty spectacular days on the water with Scott Baker-McGarva.
It was on one of these days that Scottie showed me how to rig a Hobo Spey to help prevent fish mortality. It’s a lesson that stuck with me. In fact, it was at that point that I started fishing tube flies exclusively when steelheading.
It turns out that some of the flies that catch the most fish also do the most harm. It’s a simple problem to fix once you’re aware of it, but many anglers just aren’t. When I saw this interview with Scottie on the Pesqa Blog, I knew I had to share it.
Read the interview and learn to rig your flies so they catch fish, not kill them.
