The best fly fishing podcast
From someone who's been been listening to fly fishing podcasts for 20 years, this is the best fly fishing podcast on the planet, period. Dave has built this from the ground up and his deep dives with guests from all styles of fly fishing are enlightening, informative, and entertaining. I like that his show is more steak than sizzle; no gimmicks, no clowning around, just sit-down, in-depth conversations with guides, outfitters, authors or conservation leaders in their areas of expertise. I've lea... more

Review
I’m new to fly fishing podcasts. I have enjoyed several episodes, most recently an outstanding one with Dave Allison. Stewart has a nice balance of asking questions that clarify what is being discussed for experienced anglers as well as newbie’s.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

971 | Rachel Finn on the Ausable, Dry Fly Fishing, and Patagonia

Q: What has been going on in Rachel Finn's life since 2019, and how has that shaped her approach to fishing and conservation?

She details personal loss, periods of grief, rebuilding after major life events, and how these experiences informed her commitment to travel, conservation, and mentoring new anglers, especially young people and women, while staying active in guiding and conservation work.

966 | Skip Morris on Imposters, Dry Flies, and the Secrets of Selective Trout

Q: What's your process for figuring out what the trout are eating when you see rising fish?

Assess the insect type and water conditions, then match the insect's behavior and movement, not just its look, focusing on the action and depth of the presentation.

965 | Remembering Doug Stewart: Fly Fisher, Teacher, and Dad

Q: What would you want future generations to remember about your influence on fly fishing?

That I taught people to tie flies, cast, and fish more effectively; that I ran a shop and programs that brought people together; and that the real reward was the relationships built and the countless memories created on the water.

965 | Remembering Doug Stewart: Fly Fisher, Teacher, and Dad

Q: What memories stand out from the Max Canyon era and the early Deschutes days?

The Max Canyon days were formative because we were among a few fly fishers in a vast river, and the introduction of the orange-and-black pattern that became the Max Canyon signaled a shift in how we fished steelhead with flies rather than bait. The Deschutes days are remembered for abundance, experimentation, and a sense of exploration with friends and mentors.

965 | Remembering Doug Stewart: Fly Fisher, Teacher, and Dad

Q: What was the turning point that pushed you to pursue a full-time fly-fishing business?

It was a combination of leaving teaching after a long, stressful period and recognizing a passion for fly fishing that I could build into a business. I started tying flies and building rods on the side, which eventually became the core of my livelihood.
