WOT 206: Kubie Brown Part 2. Caddis Flies and Pitfalls of Stocking Trout

In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part Two of our conversation with Kubie Brown from Southwest Montana.  Kubie grew up with an obsession for fishing that often led to solo fishing excursions in the streams, rivers, and lakes of Vermont and New York. 

His literature and creative writing studies led him to work as a reporter and later an editor for a local newspaper.  Kubie quit his job as editor to take a job as a sales associate at Orvis, which later led to casting and fly tying instructing. 

When the chance to go to guide school in Montana presented itself, Kubie jumped at the opportunity.  It’s there that Kubie continues to make a life for himself as a guide and freelance writer for online publications such as Meateater and Midcurrent. 

In Part Two of our conversation we talk about the endearing qualities of a caddis fly and tactics for how to fish them, as well as some of the problems that come with stocking trout.
