In this episode, we talk about nutrition plans and apps that can help you. I do not recommend any specific nutrition plan, that is between you and a doctor or dietician. But I think that the key to a nutrition plan is consistency. I use an app to help me stay on track. If you do not have a plan ahead of time, then it is way too easy to take a “cheat” meal, and that leads to a downward spiral every time. Breakfast and lunch are the hardest for me, but if I have a plan ahead of time, and have the ...

I always like my flies to look exactly like they did the moment they came off the vise. Fly tiers tie them in specific ways that help the fly swim properly and often times improper storage can result in the fly not swimming correctly. I use the plano edge boxes and plastic sleeves to protect all of my flies and jigs. The plano edge boxes prevent rusting and the plastic sleeves help to keep the feathers and other materials in perfect condition. If you have questions or suggestions for the show yo...

I decided to have Reflex Marine Decking installed on my new boat. It turned out really nicely and I love how they put the Saltwater Experience and Tom Rowland Podcast logos on it.

One thing that makes the Florida Keys unique is our tide schedules and how you can have completely different tide flows depending on where you are. I see this as a huge advantage because you can always be moving to an area that best suits how you’re fishing. These tides can become very complex though. Back in the day we had to memorize and guess how tides would change in the backcountry, but now there is all kinds of technology to help you out. In this episode, we dig into how exactly the tides ...

Instead of a guest, I spent some time going through some questions that I have been sent over the past couple weeks and answered them as we were headed to a video shoot.

When you’re fly fishing on the flats, a powerful and accurate backcast is one of the most important skills to have. In fact, it is nit even an optional skill. The powerful and accurate backcast is a crucial fundamental rather than an advanced tactic. Fish appear in an instant and you have to be ready to make a cast at any angle regardless of which way the wind is blowing. Everyone is ready for the standard forward cast, but if a fish appears at an angle with a right shoulder wind (for a right ha...
