Fly Fishing Strategies for Wild vs. Stocked Trout | Ep. 126

Do you need to use different tactics, flies, and strategies when you're fishing for stocked trout versus wild ones?

We hear a version of that question ALL THE TIME here at VFC, and it makes sense. For a lot of people, the most consistent trout fishing they have easy access to are stocked fish. So, we're taking a deep-dive into the world of stocked and wild fish. We'll look at all the differences between the two -- their appearance, behavior, and the flies and strategies we recommend for them. 

You'll also learn about: 

• How steep the learning curve is in fly fishing, and the two things you should focus on to lessen it 
• Why fish sometimes don't eat caddis dry flies, even if the caddis are swarming in the air above the river
• How many flies you should carry with you for a day of fishing
• What counts as a "caught" fish
