Wading Vs Drift Boat: Which Actually Catches More Fish? | Ep. 164
About this episode
Have you ever wondered just how effective fly fishing from a drift boat is? Are float trips worth the money? Do you ACTUALLY catch more fish from a boat, or do you only catch them in front of wading anglers who rarely, if ever, get to float the river?
All those questions - and more - will be answered on this episode of Untangled. Alex Stulce joins Spencer Durrant to talk about the pros and cons of wade fishing vs fishing from a boat, and a bunch of stories are shared just for good measure. You'll end the show with a firm idea of what style of fishing best matches your goals out on the water.
You'll also learn about:
- How light and temperature impact fish
- How Spencer and Alex would rig up for and fish a small pond with off-color water
- How to fly fish rivers with restrictions on your tackle
