About this listen
Fishing dirty might sound controversial, but sometimes it’s the best way to put fish in the net—especially when conditions get tough. In this episode of Southeastern Fly, we’re joined by full-time guides Will and Eric Ezell for a no-holds-barred look at the “dirty” side of fly fishing: mop flies, worms, eggs, and the creative hybrid patterns guides turn to when the water’s high or nothing else seems to work.
We cover:
- When and why to reach for mop flies, worms, and eggs—especially in stained or high water.
- How “dirty” flies like the mop worm are tied (and why you might find yourself at a craft store instead of a fly shop).
- The dirtiest, most creative rigs these guides have ever used, including outlandish multi-fly setups.
- Why these patterns work so well for both stocked and wild fish, and what makes them a staple in any guide’s box.
If you’ve ever wondered what guides actually use when conditions get tough—or want permission to fish a little “dirty” yourself—this episode is packed with practical advice, stories, and laughs. Thanks for listening, and remember: sometimes catching fish means breaking a few rules.
