Tailwater Tactics with Pat Dorsey – Part 2

Our destination is Part 2 with legendary Colorado guide, author, and trout teacher Pat Dorsey—owner of the Blue Quill Angler and perhaps the foremost expert on the South Platte. Pat dials it up a notch or two in this episode, sharing his go-to fly patterns, fly design insights, and strategies for fly fishing new water. We dig into questions like: How fast should you fish? Why does Pat love indicators? And what makes a fly truly innovative? You'll also hear stories of drift boat weddings, the origin of the Mercury Midge, and Pat's first-ever guide trip. Stick around for a quick chat with one of Pat's longtime clients—and a surprise about what's next for him.  Let's rig up the indicator rod and jump in with Pat!
