  • 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.

How to Fish Big Bugs with Ken Burkholder (Traveled #43)
Q: What makes the Bareback Rider such a standout pattern compared to other stonefly flies?
The key is the leg construction and knotting technique that creates a highly realistic leg movement and a durable body. This design set a precedent for other patterns and shifted expectations for how imitators should look and behave on the water.
919 | Inside the Minds of World Champion Fly Casters with Whitney Gould, Rick Hartman & Kalyn Hoggard
Q: How has gear changed in the world championships over the years?
The switch from fixed rods at events to allowing competitors to use their own rods (up to 11-weight for a 5-weight line) has made the sport more hands-on and personalized, with performance often depending on matching rod to cast and wind conditions.
Steelhead and Chinook Spey Lessons with Floyd Carter: How to Stop Losing Fish
Q: What is the most critical moment in a take when swinging for steelhead?
The moment is when you recognize a steady, controlled take, with sustained pressure rather than a quick, jerky response, and you time your set based on feel rather than force.
In the Bucket #21 | Steelhead Fishing and the Illusion of Control with Adrienne Comeau and Eric Leininger
Q: Do you think color and fly selection actually matter in steelhead fishing?
They agree that while color can influence a guide's confidence and client experience, the fish's response often hinges on factors like water visibility, speed of presentation, and the fish's aggression; ultimately, the best choice is whatever the angler has confidence in and can present under the conditions.
Tying Atlantic Salmon Flies and the Grainger Collection with Marvin Nolte (Traveled #42)
Q: How did you get started in tying Atlantic Salmon flies, and how did your journey evolve into the Grainger Collection?
Marvin explains he began tying in 1974, driven by a mix of curiosity and a desire to save money, then pursued formal instruction in the 1980s, which deepened his knowledge. Over time he built a large body of work, eventually producing 342 framed flies for a collector, which grew into what is claimed to be the largest framed collection of its kind. He emphasizes perseverance, technique, and the long learning curve rather than quick tricks.
