Last week we were fortunate to have Daniel Galhardo, owner of Tenkara USA visit our office and he had a few minutes to stop by for a podcast interview.\\xa0 In this week\\u2019s discussion, he talks about what he has learned since his original podcast with us, especially about fly patterns and the rationale for using a single fly.\\xa0 He also talks about\\u2014gasp\\u2014fishing a huge streamer from Shawn Combs\\u2019 drift boat with his Tenkara rod.\\xa0 So much for being a purist.

Even if you are not interested in Tenkara fishing you will probably find something of interest in this week\\u2019s podcast.\\xa0 We tackle questions about rinsing gear after saltwater use, how much backing to put on a reel with a sinking line, the use of stinger hooks on saltwater flies, fishing lake-run browns and steelhead in the Great Lakes in estuaries, whether metal studs spook trout, and a great tip from a listener for cleaning your fly tying bench.
