Steve Haigh: Fisherman and Podcaster
The Destination Angler Podcast hosted by Steve does an excellent job of interviewing passionate individuals about the world of fly fishing. As someone who loves planning trips and seeking out adventure, this podcast is a must-listen for me. Each episode is informative and filled with engaging conversations with locals and guides who provide valuable insights about their favorite fishing spots.
One of the best aspects of The Destination Angler Podcast is its ability to provide listeners with useful information about local fishing conditions and tips. By interviewing experts from different regions across the country, Steve offers a diverse range of perspectives and advice that can be applied to various fishing situations. This podcast has truly helped me catch fish on rivers that I only visit occasionally by providing insider knowledge and recommendations.
The only downside to this podcast is that it may spread awareness about lesser-known spots that were once hidden gems. While it's great to have access to information about these hidden treasures, it also means that they might become more crowded or lose some of their charm as the word gets out. However, this minor drawback doesn't overshadow the wealth of information and inspiration that each episode provides.
In conclusion, The Destination Angler Podcast is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in fly fishing adventures. Steve's skillful interviewing style brings out insightful stories and tips from experienced fishing guides all over the country. Despite potentially revealing some secret spots, this podcast remains an invaluable tool for those looking to enhance their fly fishing skills and discover new destinations.

Alex was born in the UK, came to New Zealand for skydiving, and stayed for the fly fishing. After a sky diving accident that nearly took his arm and leg, Alex made fly fishing, guiding, and documenting his wild and remote backcountry adventures on YouTube his passion. Today, Alex explains the differences between the North and South Islands, how to land big trout, seasons and fly patterns, and why remote, backcountry fly fishing recharges the soul.
