8:27 – They update us on what keeps them busy in the Olympic Peninsula this time of year. They usually catch sea-run cutthroats in the summer.
14:18 – The months of September through November are ideal for getting away from the crowds on the river because most people are out looking for salmon in the fall.
17:10 – Ed’s pet species are the king salmon and steelhead. In the OP, the same spot where you catch steelheads is the same one where you can catch kings.
20:07 – Kyle’s main focus for July and August is beach fishing for sea-run cutthroats as he doesn’t need to dedicate an entire day to do this. He can just go beach fishing right after work.
21:14 – Kyle looks forward to September and October as well, especially when it rains in September. Kyle said it could be the most incredible fishing experience you’ve ever had.

36:26 – They recommend bringing a stripping basket or the Ahrex Felxistrip when beach fishing in the OP to keep your line on the water.
37:35 – We go further into casting on the beach.

56:20 – They tell about their friend who is bass-crazy. He has scouted every lake he can get to fish for largemouth bass.
57:29 – For hitting chinooks, it depends on the weather. When the heavy rains start, the salmon and chinooks rush in.
1:03:33 – We talk about the Elwha River.
1:05:26 – Lake Crescent is a special place for them. It is one of Washington’s deepest lakes with a maximum depth of 624 feet. It has two endemic fish species, the Crescenti Cutthroat and Beardslee trout.
1:07:12 – Their favorite restaurants in their area are Spruce, Crab Shack, and Barhop.

Making Sense of Stillwater Fly Lines Show Notes
04:33 – If you listened to Part 1, you heard Phil Rowley break down the goal of this dynamic two-part series on stillwater fly lines, which is to provide an understanding of why you need multiple lines to be consistently successful on lakes.
10:02 – By the end of the first part, Phil revealed seven out of twenty fly lines that make up his kit. Today, we complete the list and discover the three primary lines Phil recommends having in your arsenal whenever you hit the water.
Sinking Lines
11:15 – For most people fishing lakes, sinking lines are often the go-to choice due to the deeper water depths where trout predominantly feed on subsurface prey.
12:17 – The horizontal retrieve path that sinking lines provide mimics the way many of the natural food sources trout feed upon move.
12:45 – Lakes can be windy, affecting both casting and presentation. Wind-induced surface chop can disrupt floating line presentations.
Longer leaders used in these conditions can lead to casting issues like tailing loops and knots, causing frustration and hindering successful angling.
14:59 – Grains are a unit of measure used to help determine line weight so you match the fly line to the correct weight of the rod. The American Fly Tackle Manufacturers Association set a standard that the grains measured over the first 30ft of a fly line are used to determine the line weight.
17:46 – Density compensation addresses the uneven tungsten powder distribution that caused U-shaped sinking profiles in early double taper lines. With density compensation, the line sinks tip first, eliminating the curved profile and enhancing bite detection.
Hover Lines
26:11 – A hover line generally sinks at approximately one inch per second, although exact rates may vary among manufacturers. These lines are commonly not density compensated.
Clear Intermediates
30:47 – Clear intermediate lines sink a little faster in the hover, anywhere from one and a half to two inches per second, depending on the manufacturer. Like the hover, this is ideal in windy conditions because it will get below that surface chop yet not sink fast enough.
Faster Sinking Lines
33:50 – While line type usually corresponds to sink rate, factors like water density can subtly influence sinking speed. Faster sink rate lines are used for getting into much deeper water.
Sweep or Parabolic Lines
37:27 – Another type of line that’s come into the market recently and gaining popularity is the sweep or parabolic line. These are lines that have sections of different sink rates along their length, which encourages an exaggerated U-shape retrieve path.
Hang Markers
44:00 – A common feature on many sinking lines today is the hang marker, a physical marker on the line. Hang markers can be added manually using Dacron-based bobber stoppers, slid onto the line, and secured through a tug.
48:00 – Monofilament lines commonly exhibit memory issues, regardless of the manufacturer.
53:00 – Phil provides valuable insights into efficiently changing fly lines while on the water.
Making Sense of Stillwater Fly Lines Conclusion with Phil Rowley
We’ve unlocked some real gems of wisdom from sinking lines to density compensation, hang markers, and on-the-water line changes. Now you can tackle those lakes with confidence and increase your chances of landing that elusive catch.
