Podcasts about fishing guide

Getting paid to fish every day, all the free rods, reels and tackle you could ask for, new boats, flashy social media posts, industry accolades... the life of a full-time fishing guide sounds rosy, but what is it really like to be a professional charter captain? Long hours, uncertain pay, broken boats, difficult familial relationships also take their toll. To get a better sense of the ins and outs of life as a professional fisherman, we turned to Capt. Bouncer Smith, who ran one of the top charter boats in Miami, Florida, for more than 40 years. What he says may surprise you.

The Foul Hooked Whitey is back ranting about the scourge of “Fly Fishing Guide Imposters” and their minimization of our sport's most prestigious positions……#flyfishing #eastrosebudthermop2025#eastrosebud2025#eastrosebudflyandtackle#thefoulhookedwhitey

My guest this week is one of fly fishing's best writers and storytellers Monte Burke [31:35], whose writing you may have seen in Garden & Gun, Forbes, or The Drake—or perhaps you've read his book, and one of my favorite fishing books, Lords of the Fly.  To discover who Monte, and many other people (including me) consider the finest fly-fishing guide who ever lived, you'll have to listen to the podcast.  You'll also learn about his new book of stories, Rivers Always Reach the Sea. In the Fly Box this week, we have some questions that I think will help many other fly fishers solve problems they may have, including: A listener informs us about the different grain weights in standard fly lines, and how there is a much bigger percentage difference in lighter lines than heavier ones. What do you think about hooks that get left in a fish's mouth? What would you look for in an ideal brook trout spot? How can I keep panfish from grabbing my carp flies? Is there an advantage to silicone fly boxes over ones with foam strips? If I practice casting with my 4-weight fiberglass rod, will that affect my casting on other rods? How do you use a dubbing loop and when do you use one? The solid metal eyes on my redfish flies sink too quickly. Should I use bead chain or plastic eyes instead? What is it about CDL feathers that make it worth using?

Jon Hazlett was a curious young man during the early days of the Sandy River Spey Clave.  Now, he's a featured instructor.  His journey to this point makes for a great conversation. In this episode of Fin And Fire With Jeff Mishler, Jon and I take a break from the clave activities and share stories to discover common ground.

Bob Reece is a passionate fly-fishing guide and coach who transitioned from a career in education to pursue his lifelong love for the sport. Growing up in Nebraska, Bob was introduced to fly fishing by his father during trips to Wyoming, sparking a passion that would later define his professional journey. After drifting away from fishing due to sports and college football, he rediscovered it post-graduation and began guiding clients in Colorado and Wyoming while still teaching. ⁣ As he became increasingly disengaged from teaching, Bob made the courageous decision to follow his passion full-time, emphasizing the importance of planning and addressing fears associated with such a significant change. His experiences with successful guiding companies laid a strong foundation for his own business, where he values client relationships and logistical management. ⁣ Bob's journey has taken him internationally, including notable fishing trips to South America, where he explores unique fishing environments and engages with diverse clientele. He combines his guiding work with coaching and counseling, aiming to provide emotional growth through outdoor activities like fishing. Bob is committed to making the counseling process approachable and engaging, envisioning retreats that connect therapeutic practices with the joy of fishing.

In this episode, I share a phone call I had from a "closet" fan of Salt Strong who happens to be a fishing guide. Plus, get to hear the details behind the AE Fish Finder Method. Tight lines and enjoy.

  I take guilty pleasure in hearing horror stories from guides about their worst clients or other crazy things that happen on the river.  Orvis-Endorsed Guide of the Year for 2019 Chip Swanson [41:00] is a great storyteller and has had some wild and funny incidents on the river over the years.  I think everyone will enjoy these stories but just a warning—although not R-rated, some of his stories mention sensitive body parts so if your kids listen to podcasts with you, you may want to preview them first.  Nothing very raunchy but you have been warned!  Rated PG-13. In the Fly Box this week, we have some great questions and tips including: I fish a lake that is stocked with rainbows and has a small tributary stream.  Do you think the rainbows will run up into it? Do you have any tips for being stealthy on a trout stream other than not stepping right into the water? Can I use a sinking Salmon Poly Leader for trout? When do you extend the butt section of your leader? I am using a switch rod for distance in warm water fishing and have tried all kinds of lines but am not happy with my casting.  Do you have any tips? Any tips or tricks on how to travel; with waders and wading boots?  I am concerned with my wet wading boots. Can trout smell us and should I worry about it? Do Zero-weight fly rods exist and what are they used for? A tip from a listener about learning to cast at all angles to your body without moving your feet. I fished a cold Colorado tailwater in the morning and a local angler told me I was on the water too early.  Why? All the hoppers I see have green, brown, or black wings.  So why do we put white wings on many of our hopper patterns?

In episode 25, you'll meet Bill Brown, owner of Wild Bill's Adventures & experienced Lake Eufaula fishing guide.

Send us a Text Message.This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale and the Captain of the Montana Outdoor Radio Show sat down with Fort Peck Fishing Guide, Scott Collinsworth. Scott and his wife Jess are also the owners of Fort Peck Marina on the incredible Fort Peck Reservoir. One of the many topics that Rigger and the Captain talked with Scott about is the idea of someone that is not familiar with such a massive lake like Fort Peck, using a Fishing Guide like Scott to learn where to find amd catch all the different species of fish that the lake has to offer. They talked all about how to find the “Big Uns” like, well, none other than the King of Fort Peck Reservoir the Mighty Chinook Salmon! Catching 20 plus pounders is not unusual but as Scott explained it can be a real grind for even the most experienced fishermen that has been fishing Fort Peck for years. Thus, Rigger's idea of hiring a guide like Scott if you are a newcomer to the 134 mile long lake. The Big Blackjaws were not all the boys discussed, however. Scott also gave out all kinds of great advice and described some of his most successful techniques for finding and catching HUGE Walleyes, some VERY FEISTY Smallmouth Bass, big Pike and Massive Lake Trout! When you listen to this Podcast it will be like getting a personal seminar from one of the top guides in all of Montana. Better yet why not go out fishing with Scott one of these days? Another thing you will learn about when you listen to the Podcast is a TON about Fort Peck Marina, the campground, tackle shop and the wonderful restaurant and bar. Make sure you listen to the entire podcast because there is fantastic advice that you will get from jigging techniques, tackle suggestions, when to go after the big Salmon, and much, much more. As Rigger put it; “Scott is an incredible teacher, he explains things so dang well and his ideas and overall approach to becoming a better fishermen are fascinating. I can't wait to get out on the water and try what I have learned!! Lookout Blackjaws I'm coming for ya!!”Links:For more information about Fort Peck Marina, the Campground, Restaurant, Tackle Shop and the Guide Service just click here. If you have questions for Scott, just call and leave a message for him at (406) 526-3442 and he will call you back after he gets done guiding some lucky folks through another great day out on Fort Peck Reservoir. Make sure you shoot your old buddy Downrigger Dale an email too and let him know what you thought of this podcast and give him your ideas for future podcast topics!

  In this conversation, Mike Pease shares his insights on fly fishing techniques and guidance. He explains the lob cast and set technique, emphasizing the importance of using a wrist flick to flip the line like flipping a pancake. He also discusses the dance with the fish and the angler's role in leading the fish during the fight. The importance of the arch in the cast and leading the drift are highlighted as key elements for successful nymph fishing. Mike also advises aspiring guides to seek guidance from experienced professionals and consider attending guide school.   Takeaways   Mastering the lob cast and set technique is crucial for successful fly fishing. During the fight with a fish, the angler is in charge and must lead the fish. The arch in the cast and leading the drift are essential for effective nymph fishing. Aspiring guides should seek advice from experienced professionals and consider attending guide school.     Fly Fishing Insider Blog is taking off and I'm putting out tons of content weekly.  Join the Loyalty Club for updates and all kinds of discounts! www.ffipodcast.com The Fly Fisherman's Channel has become my favorite place lately.

I'll try to add them to the podcasts from now on and keep the list up to date. Additionally, I'll be doing more reviews, but taking a look now is worthwhile.

Discover the importance of road maps and how they improve cognitive skills, insights on fishing from Pro Angler Johnnie Candle, and tips for stress-free meal preparation by cooking and freezing extra food. This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle! Episode 178 Details ROAD MAPS - WHY TO USE Many of us have become addicted to our phones, have allowed electronics to replace much of what we use in life. What about finding your destination? Getting from one location to another. There are many reasons to make sure your vehicle always has a Road Map or Road Atlas. First reasons are simple, even though it seems there is cellphone or mobile phone service everywhere, in reality there is not. If you are traveling and your carrier goes down, your phone potentially could not navigate correctly. Also, there are many areas when on the back roads or touring the backcountry where there is no cell service and limited satellite reach too. Having that road map can result in you safely finding your destination.   Youth and road maps; love this combination. Encourage you to use road maps as improving cognitive skills in kids, children, youth as well as the older generation. Cognitive skills are ones to always try to keep sharp!   FAVORITE FISH TO CATCH Guest: Johnnie Candle; Pro Angler, Guide & Speaker.

In this week's episode, we sit down with Captain Robin Simms, who just received her certification to operate 150 foot vessels. Robin is a longtime friend of the show and vital member of the Alabama flyfishing community. We previously had Robin on the show in a mini episode at the international fly fishing film festival at Cahaba brewery last year. We go into more depth with Robin in this episode and discuss Alabama women on the fly, her guide services, and a host of other topics centered around a life lived on the water… Including a harrowing story from her time in Alaska involving a very little boat on very big waves. We absolutely love what Robin brings to this episode, as well as what she brings to the outdoor community with her innovative approach to getting new people on the water. We hope you enjoy!

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/574 Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors       We're thrilled to welcome Stuart Jordan and Ben Roberson, the brains behind the Guide Book Co. mobile app. In a world where finding the perfect fly fishing guide can be as challenging as landing the catch of the day, their app serves as a beacon, connecting passionate anglers with experienced guides. Today, they're here to spill the secrets on not just elevating your fly fishing game to new heights but also on how their innovative platform can streamline your journey to finding the ideal guide. So, tune in, as we dive into the essentials of matching with the right guide and making every trip to the water count! Episode Chapters with Ben Roberson and Stuart Jordan on Finding a Great Fly Fishing Guide 2:17 - With roots deeply embedded in the outdoor traditions of Kentucky, Stuart shares how his love for nature was ignited during a childhood hunting trip with his father, under the spectacular display of one of the century's biggest meteor showers. 4:31 - Growing up in Kentucky as well, Ben's early experiences with deer hunting and fishing in local lakes and ponds laid the foundation for his lifelong passion. Ben's journey from exploring fishing as a hobby to guiding others and eventually co-founding the Guide Book Co. app reflects his deep-seated love for fishing and his desire to connect others with the beauty and thrill of the sport. 6:12 - Ben shares how Kentucky's central location is a goldmine for anglers, offering easy road trips to a dozen or more states packed with top-notch fly fishing spots. Ben also highlights the Cumberland River's lesser-known trout fishery as a gem, with its trophy-sized catches just waiting to be discovered. 7:42 - Ben, a guide himself, shares some real talk about the struggles he faced—like missing bookings while out on the river, dealing with payment hassles, and the final straw, not having a place for a client to leave a review. These bumps led him and Stuart to brainstorm a fix for these common guide woes. 11:44 - Ben and Stuart tell us what sets Guide Book Co. apart. One of which is they're not about hefty fees or underhanded tactics; instead, they reinvest a portion of their earnings into marketing to help guides gain visibility. This approach not only supports guides in managing the nitty-gritty of business but also connects them with clients eager for their next outdoor adventure, ensuring a win-win for everyone involved. 16:15 - They share their approach to selecting guides for their platform. Their selection process is personal and thorough, ensuring each guide's profile is a true reflection of their expertise and passion. This hands-on approach guarantees that Guide Book's community of guides is top-notch, providing anglers with unforgettable fishing experiences. 28:15 - We dove into how they tackle online reviews and guide selection. Unlike the typical star-rating system, Guide Book opts for a more nuanced approach, asking clients to answer specific questions about their experience. They emphasize the importance of good guides rising to the top based on merit, not payment for better visibility. 36:55 - Ben highlights some of Kentucky's prime fishing spots, emphasizing the Cumberland River and notable lakes like Green River Lake and Lake Cumberland, famous for bass, striper, catfish, and the prized bluegill. For those seeking more information on these waters, Ben recommends the Bluegrass Trout Unlimited chapter, the Department of Fish and Wildlife website, and Kentucky Afield's YouTube channel. Additionally, he suggests the On Water app for exploring waterways, public lands, and access points, making it easier for anglers to discover new fishing spots in Kentucky. 40:18 - Stuart and Ben share some must-do Kentucky experiences, blending the state's renowned bourbon culture with its rich fly fishing opportunities. Ben adds that Kentucky is home to all the big names in bourbon, like Woodford Reserve and Buffalo Trace, emphasizing that true bourbon comes from Kentucky. 42:15 - They discuss their vision for expanding their guide service across the United States, highlighting current hotspots in Florida, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southeast, thanks to a partnership with Southern Culture on the Fly. They're keen on offering nationwide coverage and welcome feedback from fly anglers everywhere. 44:20 - We talk about the etiquette of tipping fishing guides, and Ben shares his insights, emphasizing the significance of gratuities in the guiding industry. Guide Book has integrated a feature for tipping in its trip completion process, offering suggested amounts and the convenience of tipping directly through the platform. 47:00 - Stuart reveals his current favorite for smallmouth bass fishing in Kentucky: the crawfish pattern, which he recommends for its effectiveness. Ben, on the other hand, leans towards trout fishing on the Cumberland River, praising the frenchie as his go-to fly due to its versatility and appeal to rainbow trout. 49:30 - We go into a candid discussion on personal vices and overcoming them. 53:02 - On their road trips, Ben and Stuart have unique preferences for keeping themselves engaged. Ben, a literature major with a master's degree in the field, prefers to immerse himself in audiobooks, making the most of his travel time by listening to literature through apps like Audible. Stuart, on the other hand, leans towards podcasts, specifically highlighting "Hardcore History" with Dan Carlin as his favorite, especially for long drives. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/574  

Join us as we gear up for Spring Break! Pro Angler Johnnie Candle will be our special guest, sharing why taking time, making memories and casting a fishing line too are essential. Plus we've got the news! This is Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in the Outdoors & Western Lifestyle! Episode 173 Details NEWS MCDONALD's UNVEILS ROBOT-RUN RESTAURANT McDonald's recently unveiled a robot-run restaurant with no human staff. The futuristic location is in Australia, according to News.com, and has self-service kiosks, digital menu boards and food delivered by robots. McDonald's hopes that this new concept will streamline their operations and provide more efficient dining experiences. We hear often about worker shortages and more use of AI as well as seeing McDonald's locations are already using kiosks in the United States, now the question is when will this become the new “norm” in the USA? Stay prepared before going with a large group and learn the new technology out now at not just McDonalds but many other restaurants too. More and more restaurants are no longer offering printed menus, and are instead moving towards a “Scan QR Code” that then directs you to a menu on the phone. Don't be caught off guard, stay in the know!   FEATURE HOW TO MAKE TRAVEL MEMORIES Guest: Johnnie Candle; Pro Angler, Guide & Speaker. Learn more about this Pro Angler & Fishing Guide or to book here: https://johnniecandle.com/ https://www.facebook.com/JohnnieCandleProfessionalAngler/ Hear how taking the time to stop "Smell the Roses" as the often said, has more relevance especially as a journey through life. If planning a long awaited vacation, have an idea of the sites to see but make sure to reserve time for impromptu stops along the adventure. See that roadside stand selling coconuts, PULL OVER and TRY! That is also part of the great memory making for you and your companions! Often it's the "little things", the moments that didn't go perfect on that long awaited trip that become the most reflected, laughed and cherished. Plus toss the fishing pole along too or if in a new area, reach out and spend the money to try "new waters" to you.   Too often it happens that the road you're traveling may very well be the ONLY time you travel it. So best to take it all in and then fondly remember those cherished memories!    FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS Call or Text your questions, or comments to 305-900-BEND or 305-900-2363 Or email BendRadioShow@gmail.com FOLLOW Facebook/Instagram: @thebendshow https://www.facebook.com/thebendshow SUBSCRIBE to The Bend YouTube Channel.

I started fishing at an early while growing up on the windswept rock of Iceland. My parents often joke that they didn't get to see much of me during the warmer months, as any small stream or ditch would captivate my attention for weeks on end. When I was six years old, I received a fly rod for Christmas and started tying flies with materials from pulled apart shoelaces and pillows, and the addiction we all know as fly fishing officially took hold. When my mom and I moved to California in 2005, I started bringing a 6-piece rod to school everyday since it fit in my backpack, and I would take the bus and explore the warm water ponds and freshwater creeks in the area. This was my first introduction to the fisheries of the Central Coast. I started guiding during the summer of 2014, in the West Rangá, one of Iceland's most productive salmon rivers, and home to the most beautiful brown trout in the world. I managed to work my way into the guiding community by starting as a dishwasher when I was 17, and fishing during my off time, and it didn't take long for my intense enthusiasm to pay off as I started filling in for other guides and in no time had a summer schedule filled with clients. Spending my fall, winter and spring on the Central Coast of California has allowed me to fish over 300 days a year for most of my adult life, and I have explored much of what this area has to offer, and now guide here for bass, carp, surf perch and striped bass. This area has some awesome fishing in some of the most scenic areas anywhere, with the most consistently mild weather you can ask for. Whether you want to stalk carp in ankle deep water on the freshwater flats, or cast little sand crab imitations into the surf for perch, the Central Coast offers a year round fishery that should not be taken for granted, and should be utilized. I love sharing my love for the sport, the philosophy behind fly fishing, and creating awesome memories on the water. I am a Sage, Redington, and RIO pro guide, as well as a Fishpond, Simms, and Firehole hooks pro guide and fly tier. I work with Central Coast Fly Fishing fly shop in Carmel, California, and I am an American Carp Society Official Guide. Look forward to seeing you out on the water! Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode we are joined by former Bassmaster Elite Series pro and Mille Lacs fishing guide, Josh Douglas! We bring on Josh to talk about the hard truth of trying to go pro. It's not all sunshine and rainbows...Josh's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshdouglasfishing/Josh's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JoshDouglasFishingIn this episode, we're covering: 

Josh Spielmaker is a 33-year resident of North Arkansas. He has been married to his wife, Kristie, for 25 years, and together, they have three exceptional children. After a long career in construction and later aircraft refurbishment, he works with special needs students at Prism North America, a faith-based K-12 private school in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Josh has always had a love of the outdoors. He and his wife made traditions of national park trips with their children as they grew. About six years ago, he was diagnosed with adult-onset fly fishing obsession, and these days, you will likely find him tying flies or on the boat fishing with his wife or any random good friend. Josh is also a regular guest on the Bear Grease podcast, where he is a faithful apologist of the sport of Fly Fishing. In this episode, we take the reins off and free Josh to gush about fly fishing as much as he wants to, as well as many other exciting topics. Josh shares his love for craftmanship in making hats and tying flies and how skills over the course of a lifetime lead to new skills and hobbies. We also discuss the outstanding work they are doing there with the students at Prism North America. We hope you enjoy this episode and our conversation with Josh.
