Thank you for putting this show up again. Colin's calm demeanor and humble nature along with his willingness to share his knowledge is inspirational. He will be missed.

Very inspiring, thank you so much for talking to Paul

Mega thanks for the shout out for Womens Fly Fishing.

😢

I’ve been training with Paul for almost a year and he’s transformed my casting. Fantastic resource and coach on all things fishing and casting! Really great mate!

I’ve recently discovered Paul’s videos after looking to improve my casting. I was already practicing 10-15 minutes per day and then started applying techniques and drills from the videos. It’s really helped me become more aware of my good and bad habits. Paul is a great resource!

Is this the John Shaner from the old days at Troutfitters??

Jason‘s boats are amazing and he’s also a great guy. He’s Willing to share his expertise, which in my opinion is more admirable then his designs and craftsmanship.

Imagine Henry Winkler and fly fishing on New Hampshire rivers. Hehhhhh.

My wife got me his book Trout Spey and The Art of the Swing for my birthday. It is an awesome read and the photos of the flies are inspiring. I return to it often Long time fan of the channel - especially the episodes about wet and dry fly fishing. Though, I just got a 7wt Renegade and am planning my first trip to Lake Erie this Fall so I imagine I'll be revisiting some of the episodes on Steelhead.

Great Podcast!!! Spencer and the guys at Ventures are awesome!

I can not tell you how wonderful this podcast was. I will be going to Gaspe for the first time in June. I have never caught an ocean run Atlantic, but I consider myself a landlocked salmon expert. I have tied about 200 flies in the last month. I have done tons of research, but stumbling upon this was hitting the honey hole after a fresh rain. Thank you so very much. This was fantastic!

Sorry Dave, I lost him at Bruce Springsteen. Let's me know exactly where he stands. Chad

Well, now I am back to square one. I'm a guide in Michigan, have a 16 Stealthcraft, will never, EVER purchace anything from Mike, ever. Guy has serious issues! Drugs, bi polar, i,e. drugs. But have been seriously considering a raft. NOT Stealthcrap, but, Smithfly, Flycraft? Any suggestions? I am on a limited budget. Have a huge 4x4 van, thinking I could load a raft on top and pull the drift boat as I am 4 hours away from my gide waters. Thanks, Chad

Thanks for this podcast as I like watching/listening to Al. However I found Al’s disruption difficult to understand. I’m hoping he will do a video about this topic.

As one Dave S podcaster to another I want to thank you for this episode. I've always wondered about the GGACC and found the history in this fascinating. Makes me nostalgic for the time of the old Powell Fly Shop in Chico, CA. Amazing connections to the SF group. Great episode.

I'm the son of Frank Bryant (the second son, not the wrestler) I worked for Chota and with my dad, and Mark for 8 years until I moved to FL, shortly before my dad retired. I just found this podcast as I was looking for something about my father online when I discovered this was actually published on the same day that my father passed away (April 5, 2023), I don't think Mark knew about that during the interview (not sure if it was pre-recorded). I enjoyed hearing about my Dad from a different perspective. He was definitely a one of a kind, a starter of many amazing things that became a way of life and a matter of fact for many industries. Thanks Mark for all of that!

I started my subscription to Smitty's fly box this year. I will say i have been impressed. Quality is good, Steve is quick at responding to emails. I have also purchased flies from Sportsman's warehouse before I knew his company supplied them, they have never failed on me, they hold up really well. These flies are a steal for the price.

One of the best. 😊

Great information from an expert, this podcast gets me thinking about options I never considered for my Great Lakes fishing! Worth listening to several times for me, but I can be dense.... a sink 7...sometimes.

That guy is such an egomaniac

Learned a ton from all the earlier stuff, Gilbert, in various means. Keep 'em coming!

Putting people on fish, who often don’t nail’em, is simply awesome! Nice one guys, enjoyed that.

I'd like to know how euronymphing/tightlining affects one's traditional flycasting? Casting techniques between the two are much different. I suspect one might pick up bad habits. . .

Thank you Tim and Dave. Very good information. 😊

"I feel like an eight year old whenever I pick up a fly rod." That is the perfect summation of why I love fly fishing. My skill level isn't anywhere near yours. But my love for the experience is definitely at least a tie!

What a fantastic and informative conversation. I got hooked on Trout Spey and my mentor, Mac at FishFirst! put me into an Echo switch rod. Spey guys I know tell me it's too short and that I should get a bigger rod. Meanwhile, I catch fish and have FUN! I appreciate Tim and his design ethic. Plus, I could afford it. Which means, I get to go fishing!!!

Man this is just a treasure! Thank you for posting this. I love his writing and his take on quality writing was really insightful.

Really loved this podcast.Kudos to both of you.

You interrupt your guest far too often bud.

Awesome content esp. describing where to look for slack in the cast. These guys know their stuff. Been working on my casting and line set ups for years and caught a few mostly/probably by luck, & need all the help I can get, much appreciated. Can't wait to get out there and attempt to apply what Brian talks about around minute 25. Ain't easy but when that line/fly shoots out there w/power and fishes right away, it's a beautiful thing. Wish I could do it more than 1 out of every 20, embarrassing.

Is Brian of scandinavian descent? Niska can be found in Finland and in the north of Sweden. It actually means "neck" which is what we call the tailout of a pool.

Talking about chilli again 😬. I think Brian and you should do podcast AFTER lunch. Calling Chile: chilli, upsets Chileans. Grab a snack next time? 😂

Last summer was the best season ive had yet. The quality of the fish on our fly out heli trips was absolutely phenomenal

I guide on some of the same systems as Adam and his fish hound crew. They are great guys, very knowledgeable and respectable guides!

Mike Mercer is an amazing guy. This should be listened to by WAY more anglers!

The best in the game are the orvis pro bootfoot with a pair of foot warmers. I’ve had mine for going on two years without ANY issues.

I have tried dangling a couple of times, but never had any takes. I would think you would break off on the take sometimes. Ive had other flys get hit so hard they are breaking 8# flourocarbon. My biggest fish have been caught on chironomids. Great podcast fellas.

I can't say enough great things about Gates Lodge and Au Sable trout fishing. I've fished the Au Sable throughout my life and am still consumed by the challenge of that river, it's my favorite place on earth. Josh and his staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, Gates Lodge is charming and the restaurant is seriously good. I personally love the fall streamer fishing, but any time on the Au Sable is time well spent.

Hello! I have watched your TH-cam channel and several videos. Your channel has many videos but not enough views and subscribers. Your videos are very good but your video optimization is not perfect Example: SEO score is not perfect (SEO score must be 80+ to get video rank), no SEO friendly tags are added, no social link added and some settings of video optimization are not Perfectly. Because of this, your video is not reaching interested people. If you solve this problem, your channel will get more views, subscribers and monetization very quickly. If you intend to use your channel for professional purposes, you should immediately optimize your TH-cam videos for SEO. As a video SEO expert, I am interested in SEO optimizing your channel videos and I am waiting for your response if you are interested. Thank you.

The Hendrickson dry fly Catskill style was developed by Theodore Gordon in the late 1800's on the neversink river. Kelly should visit the fly fishing museum in Livingston and fish for brookies on the tributaries. There is a lot of history and years he skipped over. Ther was a lot of dry fly fishing done in the catskills before the 1st European brown trout ever reached the midwest. Regardless Kelly is a great human being and angler thanks for all ur contributions to the sport.

Thanks for another cool episode, learned alot about MFC, I’d like to see MFC products available in greater quantities in more fly shops, can be hard to find, from a tiers perspective

Great episode! Thanks!

Dave, loving the show, great stuff, keep it coming

Great interview. Jerry is amazing!

Who is Devin Owsley? Nice editing.

Wow this was so cool, l learned so much thank you for posting it

Did a tour with FishHound Expeditions earlier this month. Made a video, check my channel. Absolutely spectacular time! Smacking 25” Rainbow Trout all day long in Willow, AK.

Renzetti for life!
