935B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/935B Presented by:  Drifthook Fly Fishing  Every angler has heard it before: this fly always works, this is my confidence fly, you have to have this pattern in your box. But when you're standing on the river with hundreds of flies to choose from, how do you know what actually matters? Matt Bernhardt from Drifthook joins us to break down fly selection and share a simpler way to think about choosing flies.  We also talk about what drives good fly selection, why size and silhouette often matter more than exact imitation, and the differences between beginner, intermediate, and advanced approaches to choosing flies.  We'll also hear about the story behind Drifthook, his background in guiding, fly design, fly quality, sourcing materials, and what's next for the brand.
