How to Fish Big Bugs with Ken Burkholder (Traveled #43)

from Wet Fly Swing Fly Fishing Podcast

#916 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/916 Presented by: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho Fishing big bugs isn't just about throwing something large at the bank and hoping for an explosion. What really matters is precision, realism, and getting that fly exactly where it needs to be. In this episode, I sat down with Ken Burkholder to dig into the details that separate a decent drift from one that actually gets eaten. We get into fly design, fishing tight banks, and why small tweaks can make a big difference when fish are locked in. Ken brings decades of experience from the South Fork of the Snake, plus a deep background in fly design with Fulling Mill. This one covers everything from stoneflies to cicadas and a whole lot in between. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/916
