Elijah Wait - A Fly Rod For All Species
Show Notes

I have believed for some time now, that we're evolving as fly anglers.

The warm, dry summers have meant we are looking to catch other species from rivers, canals, lakes or the sea.

I am keen to hear from people who are looking at fly fishing from a different angle and was pleased when Elijah Wait agreed to be a guest on the podcast.

Despite trout being his first love, Elijah will pack his rod for just about any fish he can cast a fly at. He shares plenty of information on how to approach a variety of fish, tells me about the importance of a long rod and shares how to fish streamers for trout in the smallest of streams.

We discuss how fly fishing looks and feels to him and the people who have had an impact on his fishing career.

As a younger angler Elijah talks a lot of sense and he makes me feel that the fly fishing future is in good hands.
