Anthony discusses some learnings he's made fishing the same water consistently in May. Matt recaps the Driftless Tenkara Campout. Mike frets over where the "too much vs. too little" line is drawn when it comes to packing for an upcoming trip.

Finally, Anthony spends some extended time with Roanoke, Virginia based angler, Mike Garrison.
