  • Maybe the perfect fly fishing podcast

    Been listening to these guys for a few months now I’m probably 100 shows in. The boys are fun fun to listen to the guests are great. The audio is great. I just wish I had a bit more Fly Tying involved, but the show is pretty good companion for drives or when you’re out fishing.

  • THE BOYS BRING THE NOISE

    The SoFly crew were the soundtrack to my early beginnings in fly fishing, and they’ve always been a fixture of my fishing experiences since. Whether on the way to the river, at the vise, or during those moments where I stare longingly out the window, SoFly scratches that very hard to reach itch.

  • My go to tripping podcast

    The so fly podcast is probably the best fishing related podcast I’ve listened to. Vibes are consistently on point, with conversations ranging from sharing personal experiences of them out on the water, tips and tricks that can help land a good fish, or raising awareness for the conservation of fisheries. I particularly love their special appearances of folks from all over the place- including locals in different areas of Ontario.
