A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcast

“Below the Meniscus”- The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies – A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcast
From its Roman Empire era origins in Macedonia with the Red Fly, and early beginnings with Dame Juliana and her “Treatise” dangling her beautifully concocted flies to fool trout and Atlantic salmon on the River Ver spring creek at her St Alban’s Sopwell Nunnery, is how fly fishing had its humble beginnings. But it was with the modern foundations of Ronalds, Skues, Sawyer, and Cutcliffe in England,  on the hallowed chalk streams of the Rivers Itchen and Avon; and North Country, Wales  and Dartmoor small freestone rivers, that the nymph and wet fly had their evolution. Thus the going below the meniscus art form has now become the most lethal way of taking trout worldwide with the onset of Euro Nymphing. Three accomplished guest figures of these genres: ex- pat Davy Wotton, George Daniel, and one of England’s iconic chalk stream fly fishing authors, Terry Lawton, along with Hallowed Waters Podcast host and author: Matthew Supinski, discuss the evolutionary magnitude, science, artistic beauty, techniques and gear, fly designs, but often questionable approaches with Euro and competitive fishing,  that impacts the trout and fly fisher with these highly effective tactics. The final episode discusses the impact on the angler and how it has transformed them from a fly shop and consumer’s perspective, with a highly skilled Euro nympher and fly shop guru guest: Torrey Collins. Don’t miss this  epic documentary podcast on the subject – stay tuned!
