"They Smell the Weakness" | False Cast Podcast
It's the False Cast Summer 2026 special episode! Patrick breaks down his big trip(s) out west, including a solo run to the Bighorns. Being in the area, it only makes sense to discuss the story of a bison throwing a guy a** over tea kettle. George finds a three foot pike in a trout stream. We talk muskie on fly, duck limits, Romano being late, McGregor, and where we are headed next. Fish in the morning, fish late at night, do not stress the fish out.
