Listen "108. Observating and Hot Weather"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Southeastern Fly, we dig into the art of “observating”—the practice of watching and learning from the river across all seasons, especially in the summer heat. We share tips for reading your water, from winter midge hatches and spring bug explosions to the challenges of fishing in triple-digit temps.We talk about how to know what’s happening on your river by watching bug activity, fish behavior, and even birds, plus why keeping yourself hydrated and fresh is just as important as picking the right fly. We answer the question: how hot is too hot to fish, and share real experiences from scorching days on the water.Whether you’re new to the river or a seasoned angler, this episode is about building your process through observation, trying new things, and keeping good notes so you’re always ready for what the water brings.Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, join our Facebook group, and sign up for the newsletter. Stay safe, stay cool, and keep observating!Resources:Visit southeasternfly.comSign up for our newsletterProduced by NOVA
