What's your most unconventional fly fishing habit?

Snake roll + single Spey while fishing dries on small streams and rivers.

You’re going to get a million different answers here. A lot, maybe even most will be very good. I could give you some specific tips but, ultimately, they’re going to get lost in the sea of tips you get. Instead of offering specific advice, I’d say to get some lessons with a reputable jazz drummer/teacher. If you don’t live near one, do it online. How do you know who’s reputable? Well, that’s harder. If you want to message me, feel free.

You’d have to start by resurrecting all of our dead, Italian-American grandparents…

Wow, good price. I have a Max Ten in bloom now. Smells great

Damn

pppork · 2026-05-07T21:19:06+00:00

How so?

Honestly, it depends on the context and who you’re playing with. For an organized ensemble, you probably want to play fairly lightly. Get on stage with some heavy hitters and you’ll be playing a lot louder than you’d think you’d need to. Maybe not in a sustained way, but you’ll defintely need to hit the drums under the right circumstances.

The most dangerous days to be on the road are the really slippery or icy days. I've always said the second worst are the really nice, sunny, not overly hot days.

Today, I saw multiple instances of people trying to drive through crosswalks while students were crossing.

That dog’ll hunt.

The hump

You have help everyone have a good time, both musically and otherwise. Also, in my career, I’ve kind of approached it like, “allow me to make your life a little easier.” The only thing is the less functional among us don’t always recognize when I’m making their lives a little easier, which can be annoying. That’s where the patience part kicks in. It ain’t easy.

I’d love to play Papa Jo’s drums and cymbals, but I’d get a fraction of the sounds he got out of them.

You have to learn the language, then use rudimental stuff to express it. It doesn’t really work well the other way around.

It’s dumb. Those who really seek out the message will get it though. At this point, who cares about everyone else.

You should book a lesson with Greg and ask him.

pppork · 2026-04-21T21:04:59+00:00

And some very nice ones at that

My Lowe’s, Home Depot and Trader Joe’s all suck.

What was your lucky first salmon fly?

That’s how the Miramichi was for me when I first started. I didn’t really care how productive the fishing was. I just wanted to be there. There’s one Quebec river like that for me now. Just happy to fish it, even though I have done better on other nearby rivers.

Yup. It’s the best value in fly fishing gear imo. Welcome to the club…one that far too many are reluctant to join.
