What's it like to run a fishing lodge? With Tim and Joanne Linehan

What are the pleasures and pitfalls of running a successful fishing lodge?  What's it really like behind the scenes?  And how did a couple kids from New Hampshire end up running one of the most successful fishing and hunting lodges in Montana?  (Hint—it wasn't due to trust funds or investment banker money).  This week I interview Tim and Joanne Linehan [39:39], two of the nicest people on the planet and legends in the fly-fishing industry.  Their story is a heartwarming success story of a lifelong partnership in love and life. And in the Fly Box this week we have some great questions and helpful tips, including:

• Do you have any tips for fishing really muddy water or is it just not worth it?
• Does a fish's sense of smell work better in warm water or cold water?
• A great story about a listener breaking off a big rainbow and then coming back later in the day, catching the fish, and getting his fly back.
• Any tips on a fly rod for a 6-year-old kid?
• I have been nymph fishing with a fluorocarbon leader.  Should I switch to a nylon leader when dry-fly fishing?
• Do you have any tips for setting the hook when fishing dry flies?
• Should I use side pressure when playing Atlantic salmon?
• Can I use Water Shed on my floating fly line?
• Any tips on catching smallmouth buffalo on a fly?
• My line and leader won't go straight at the end of the cast and end up curling in on the cast.  Any tips as to why this is happening?
• I'm taking my first saltwater fly-fishing trip.  Will the Battenkill Disc reel give me enough retrieve speed?
