S6, Ep 5: Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with Matt Reilly

Dive into the new year with Marvin Cash and Matt Reilly as they deliver the first Southwest Virginia Fishing Report of 2024 on The Articulate Fly. Matt shares his holiday cheer and the joy of his little one's first Christmas, despite being laid up himself. But it's not all tinsel and mistletoe; the duo discusses the recent weather beatings—a concoction of rain, snow and impending freezing conditions—that have put a temporary pause on fishing escapades. As the high waters recede and winter digs in its heels, Matt offers invaluable insights on musky behavior in the frigid waters and how to adapt your fly fishing strategies accordingly. Learn about the merits of high water musky fishing, the importance of choosing the right fly patterns and the nuances of fly line density to perfect that slow, enticing retrieve. Matt also hints at the anticipation of muskies' post-storm hunger and how to capitalize on their chase instinct, all while navigating through murky waters. If you've got questions or are hungry for more fly fishing knowledge, send them our way for a chance to win some exclusive Articulate Fly gear and be entered in our end-of-year drawing for some special treats from Matt himself. So, gear up for an insightful listen, and let's cast into 2024 with high hopes and tight lines! To learn more about Matt, check out our full length interview.
