Well, maybe we’re not creating new trout streams, but we are creating waters that now support trout and cold, clean water by mitigating abandoned mine runoff.  These are streams have been lifeless in some cases for over 100 years.  There are hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines leaking acids and toxic metals throughout the country, and until a recent law was passed if an independent organization went in to clean these up, they could be held liable for any damages.  The technology is there but the law prevented them from helping.  With recent passage of a Good Samaritan law, a number of test cases will be established to prove that independent organizations can work to clean up these mines without legal risk.  Chris Wood, president and CEO of Trout Unlimited, [41:35] walks us through what has been done and what can be done in the future to ensure cleaner water for fishing, drinking, and swimming.  Chris is always an articulate and interesting guest and we know you’ll enjoy this podcast.   In the Fly Box this week, we have some great new questions and tips including:

• What is a good chair for fly tying?
• What is a good light for fly tying?
• How do you organize your tying desk?
• What setup should I use to fish streamers in a narrow, brushy piece of water?
• A piece broke off the jaws of my fly-tying vise.  How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
• Why don’t they make polarized sunglasses with clear magnifying inserts?
• A tip from a listener to always pack an extra pack with dry clothes in case you fall in.
• Should I recycle my hooks after all the dressing has fallen off a fly?
• I want a rod for pike and musky fishing.  What is the difference between the 10-weight and 11-weight Clearwater rods?
• Is it bad a stretch a leader by hanging a pair of forceps on it?
• For small stream trout, should I get a Battenkill Disc or Battenkill spring-and-pawl reel?
• If I want to practice casting to my “off” side prior to a float trip, should I practice casting with my left hand or use my right hand to cast over my left shoulder?

The boys talk Steelhead and Black Friday.
