This week we are joined by the legendary Flip Pallot, one of our favorite guests. Flips noted for his long bow and fly fishing prowess but he also loves to chase wild turkeys in the Florida swamps. In fact, he lives in an oak hammock and enjoys hearing wild turkeys wake up every morning. We have a great discussion that starts off with him remembering his old friend Lefty Kreh. After that we talk trapping, calls he hears turkeys making, .410's, calls he uses, what's in his vest, red dot sites, fish that speak to him, killing a pig that morning and some pretty interesting turkey tales.

This week we have another conversation with Flip Pallot and we're also joined by two of our favorite Gamekeepers Jeff Foxworthy and Glenn Garner. Flip tells the fresh story of the largest whitetail he has killed, which happened that morning! We all discuss the allure of hunting big whitetail bucks and how it has strained many marriages, careers, friendships and much more. But why? We ask just what is it about white-tailed deer that makes us all so crazy for them? We also hear a hilarious snort wheeze story from Jeff and the harrowing story of a poacher that unknowingly slipped near him near him one Sunday afternoon after he had just purchased his farm.  It's a good one. Listen.

Drew Moret is a highly acclaimed skiff guide and the son of fishing legend, Sandy Moret. You can only imagine his childhood growing up with that DNA in the Sport Fishing Capital of the world, Islamorada, Florida. Sandy's friends are the who's who in the flats fishing game; Steve Huff, Flip Pallot, Chico Fernandez, Stu Apte, Billy Knowles, and many others. The inspiration to be somebody in fishing was everywhere you looked. All the kids of that generation became great fishermen and if you loved to fish, guiding was the door to financial security. Drew took to tarpon in a big way. The bonefishing was off the charts during these formative years, but Drew became a backcountry genius knowing when and where these silver kings would be, showing their voracious bite to a well placed fly. Regardless of the time of year or the weather, he'll be looking for the poon and most likely he'll find them. He prides himself on fishing for tarpon year round, although he can do it all. From cobia fishing on the wrecks, to tailing redfish and sunning snook. On todays podcast, we cover a number of adventures from the life of a Megalops addict!

Mitch Howell has had a very interesting life on and off the water. At a young age, Howell's family was failing him so his grandparents took the helm and raised him. His world was coming at him in different directions very quickly. He would eventually find profound joy and success in fishing. It was one of our sport's great heroes, Flip Pallot, who would be Mitch's greatest influence and mentor years later. We have heard numerous stories on this podcast how fishing has saved many of our guests lives, and here, Mitch will document a similar story stemming from a different kind of carnage. Mitch found invigoration with fishing and he eventually carved his way to the podium many of the Florida Keys most prominent tournaments. And, too, Mitch had incredible dexterity. He could do damage with a fly rod as well as a spinning rod or bait caster. Inshore or offshore, he could do it all! Today, we talk about how tackle shops were the hang out spots of the past, fishing with Mark Krowka, Flip Pallot, & Billy Pate, and how there was no challenge quite like the big bonefish of Islamorada. Thanks for coming on, Mitch!

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/521 Presented By: Angler's Coffee, Smitty's Fly Box, Yellowstone Teton Territory In today's episode, owner of Fly Fishers Shop and Scientific Angler Ambassador Pat Ehlers takes us to fly fishing largemouth bass. Pat's journey into the realm of fly fishing is a tale that began with childhood wonder and evolved into a lifelong passion. With a boatload of expertise and a trusty VEXUS, he takes us on a bass-fishing adventure that's as thrilling as it is educational. Plus, he introduces us to his custom-crafted patterns like the Vampire Leech and Grim Reaper. Don't miss out on this episode packed with bass-catching wisdom from a true master of the craft! Episode Chapters with Pat Ehlers on Fly Fishing Largemouth Bass 02:10 - Pat's journey into fly fishing began as a young kid watching the first American Sportsman show on ABC with Curt Gowdy and Jack Dennis. He later developed a special mentorship with Jack Dennis and opportunities to share his knowledge at national fly fishing shows. 04:00 - Pat started the Fly Fishers Fly Shop in 1988. 08:22 - We talked about the evolution of fishing and fishing equipment over the years. Pat's commitment to finding high-end gear to better serve his customers eventually led him to explore saltwater fishing. 09:20 - Pat's introduction to Rick Murphy came through a connection with Flip Pallot. This meeting proved instrumental in expanding his knowledge of saltwater fishing. Today, Rick Murphy is the host of Sportsman's Adventures. 15:07 - Pat provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse fishing opportunities in their area. The region also boasts some of the best bass lakes within a 20-minute drive. Pat is well-equipped for these expeditions, thanks to his partnership with VEXUS Boats and Mercury Marine's Pro team. Finding Fish 19:17 - When it comes to targeting largemouth bass, having access to a boat is crucial, as the fish tend to be in deeper waters. Pat owns a 21-foot VEXUS boat, which he finds to be the perfect fit for pursuing largemouth bass in their part of the world. 22:08 - Pat uses reliable electronics for locating fish, like Minn Kota Humminbird. However, he acknowledges that not everyone may have access to such high-tech equipment, and a good lake map can be incredibly useful in finding fish. 24:49 - Pat mentions his collaboration with Scientific Anglers to develop specialized lines, including the Sonar Titan Sink Tip Mini, a five-foot mini sink tip that has proven popular among anglers. 34:00 - Pat says his Vampire Leech is a good pattern to use when dealing with cold water conditions.

Benny Blanco grew up in South Florida and gravitated to the local canals and waterways as a young boy. As a teenager he began fishing Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. He became a full-time guide in the late 1990s. His work ethic and passion for fishing and the marine environment are undeniable. When he's not on the water, he is either spending time with his family or giving back in some way. In this podcast, Benny talks about the challenges he faced as a young Hispanic guide and befriending his mentors such as Jose Wejebe and Flip Pallot. We also discuss Benny's work with Captains for Clean Water, which has been a leading force in Everglades restoration and Hurricane Ian recovery efforts. Benny is an inspiring individual and it's no wonder he has become such a well-respected waterman.

Eddie Wightman will go down in history as one of the legendary guides of Islamorada, Florida! Pushing his boat for his clients over 300 days a year, he was known as one of the hardest working guides and was an independent man who prided himself on finding his own fish in different locations. When the fleet of boats went one way, Wightman went the other. So much so that Flip Pallot named him “The Loner!” Wightman took great pride in that name because that's who Wightman is. His reputation preceded him and many wanted his talents to guide them. Eddie fished with a lot of great anglers, those who chased world records and big tournaments. He saw the halcyon years of the best tarpon hole in the world, Homosassa, and won the biggest tarpon tournament, the Gold Cup, twice. His voice was heard loud and clear when the push for no kill tournaments was waged. Conservation prevailed, and in 1992 the Gold Cup evolved into a catch and release event. There were others too, pushing for the change, but Eddie was there at the forefront. I fished with and against Eddie, and I must say there were few at the dock that carried a presence like him. With great respect, we hope you enjoy Mr. Wightman!

Starting in the 90s, Maine striped bass guide Capt. Eric Wallace built and to this day maintains his rabidly loyal flats-fishing clientele the old fashioned way; by learning his waters through painstaking research, by watching fish behavior, through incredibly detailed record-keeping, and by just plain being on the water - a lot. One client fished with him to great success and told another one. That one told someone else, and that person told two more. Soon, he was guiding clients two, three, fifteen days a year. The man eats, breathes and sleeps fish. When he's not fishing, he's fighting for access to the waters he fishes. When hes not campaigning for water access, he's fly tying. When he's not fly tying, he's representing the brands that reflect his style - no frills, no flash, and all about hardcore commitment to excellence - currently those include Thomas & Thomas rods and Hatch Reels. Impressive company indeed. Wallace uses social media "because I guess I more or less have to these days." But don't look for posts from him to include pics that brag about the size or number of fish his clients have caught. Not because they don't exist. Oh they do. Any quiet evening spent with Eric, if you ask enough times, will produce pictures of monster bass caught in water so shallow it shouldn't hold anything with fins. Wallace's use of social media is used most often to show his acumen with a camera, to catch a special moment with what most would consider an "average" fish, but caught at just the perfect moment, when an appreciative angler is gently returning it to the water, or when the heartbreakingly gorgeous places he guides are just giving way to the first light of an autumn morning as a hungry bass breaks the surface in pursuit of one his secretive flies that no one - absolutely no one - will see unless they fish with him. The increasingly desperate bragging done by other guides on the 'books and the 'Grams the 'Toks seems lost on Wallace. Or maybe not lost. Maybe ignored. Probably ignored. Definitely ignored. An evening spent talking fishing with him is to understand what so many of us caught between two worlds struggle with; namely, the old world of hard-won knowledge that led to respect based on the humble pursuit of a craft for which you lived. That world was inhabited by Wallace's heroes, guys with names like "Lefty," who he guided numerous times and counted as a friend, and Steve Huff, and Flip Pallot. Compare that to the newer, flashier approach, where a few good pics of someone with an expensive boat and the right clothing "make" you a guide, and it adds up to an odd situation for Wallace. He doesn't dislike it for all the obvious reasons - like that it's fake and not based in reality, he dislikes it because Wallace comes from a time when a guide had a code, and that code dictated that a guide knew EVERYTHING he or she could know (and more) before charging a client to take him or her fishing. I'm sure I speak for Lou when I say I don't remember having spent as pleasant an evening for a long time as the one we spent with Capt. Eric, sitting in his home during this interview, surrounded by the mementos of his not-insignificant life of fishing, just discussing fishing striped bass on the flats.

Mark Sosin has experienced a life of giving, determined to teach his viewer how to catch more fish. His avenues were vast and their depths fathomless. He wrote thirty three books, three thousand plus articles, and produced an award winning television show, Mark Sosin's Saltwater Journal, that spanned 27 years. Offshore, inshore, fly, bait, spin, you name it - he taught it. But was he a great fisherman? Who cares, he was a determined guy that had great intentions and succeeded with his quests. Mark is the director emeritus of the Billfish foundation and a past president of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. Sosin received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Florida Outdoor Writers Association and has been inducted into four Hall of Fames including the Freshwater Hall of Fame and the International Game Fish Hall of Fame. Flip Pallot said his contribution to fishing was “of epic proportion!” The rest of the fishing world couldn't agree more, amen!

Over the course of the 17 years that I fished tarpon tournaments in the Florida Keys the man to beat was always Rob Fordyce and who ever was on his bow... Tarpon tournament fly fishing is a team event with an angler and guide. The teams with a strong guide and a strong angler were always tough, but some guides have the ability to just find more fish than other guides and inspire, teach, and calm an angler to be better than he is. Rob Fordyce is that Guide. I always feared great guides more that great anglers and we all knew Fordyce was going to be there at the buzzer. And he was! If you look deeper into his DNA you'll understand his genius. First, this man is an athlete. He played baseball and was drafted by the Mariners before an injury forced him onto the water full time. His mentors were hall of famers Al Pflueger Jr. and Flip Pallot. Self guided, he won The Met Master Angler award when he was just 17. The youngest ever. Over the last four decades he has finished in the top three 58 times in tarpon tournaments. That number was 57 when we interviewed Rob, but he recently won the prestigious Don Hawley tournament for the seventh time. His preeminent success has found him as the most decorated tarpon guide to ever poll a skiff. He also hosts the popular television show "The Seahunter." When he's not on the water, he's in the woods somewhere hunting or in the gym benching 400lbs. The man is an animal.... Personally, I can relate very closely to all this, and we've been close because of it. We spoke of one day fishing an event together for years and it finally happened in 2015. I am honored to say that my last tournament victory was with Rob by my side calling the shots...

On this episode we sit down with the one and only Flip Pallot.  Flip is a world renown fly fishing angler, but hunting with the simple stick and string is his true passion.  Flip speaks like a well written book, is a very contemplative guy, and has a unique perspective on things.  Yet his down to earth and easy going ways makes you feel like you've known him all of your life.  We touch on everything from the first state archery seasons, the history of early bowhunting in Florida, to the future of hunting, and of course lot of bowhunting tales.  You definitely don't want to miss this one, in fact.... you may want to listen twice!! 

Jared Zissu is the founder of FlyLords, a media company that has had a ton of success on Instagram. I wanted to interview Jared after watching his latest film, “Time”. In this film, he interviews Flip Pallot about the legacy of Lefty Kreh. Jared gives us all of the behind the scenes of the film, and how he got to where he is today. We also have a discussion about “spot burning” and “intellectual property” in the fishing world. Be sure to keep up with FlyLords on Instagram and their website for their future projects!

A few years ago I was making a presentation in a Miami fly shop when a man came to me and introduced himself. “Hey Andy, I’m Norman Duncan.” Oh my God, I thought, here he is! I was so excited, really. Here was one of the disciples.Flip Pallot, Chico Fernandez, Little John Emery, and Norman Duncan were as important as anyone in South Florida to initially grow the sport of Saltwater Fly Fishing. This group of four were something to behold. They had heart, passion, and creativity to catch fish, but without the sufficient tools to support their fire. They designed everything they needed because there was nothing available, and many of their innovations are still used today.We know the story of Flip and Chico, they became rock stars in the fly fishing world. “Little John,” as Emery was known, passed at a young age from melanoma after putting his stamp on history. But where did Norman go? What happened to him? He was smart and ingenious, pushed and shoved as hard as the others, but he stepped aside and the iconic fame the others attained passed Norman by, even though we all know his name.Today, Norman brought us out back to his porch and gave us an inside look into his eventful life.

The So Fly Crew sits with Monte Burke, author of Lords of the Fly. Together, they discuss an incredible era of tarpon fly fishing in an area called Homosassa. Lords of the Fly pulls apart the age of sex, drugs and tarpon fishing, diving deep into the obsession behind catching the world record tarpon. From Lefty Kreh to Flip Pallot, Monte and the crew talk about some of the most famed fly anglers, and their pursuit to hook the biggest of fish.  Read the book: https://www.amazon.ca/Lords-Fly-Madness-Obsession-Record/dp/1643135589

This week I sat down with Monte Burke to discuss his new book, Lords of the Fly. I was lucky enough to get an early copy of the book and give it a read before our interview. This book features some of my all time heroes and tells the incredible story of chasing after the world record tarpon in the late 70’s and early 80’s in Homosassa, Florida. Monte traces the history of Saltwater Flyfishing. This is an incredibly interesting story, featuring legends like Steve Huff, Dale Perez, Lefty Kreh, Chico Fernandez, Mark Sosin, Stu Apte, Tom Evans, Flip Pallot, Billy Pate, Ralph Delph, tom McGuane, Jim Harrison, Russell Chattem, Guy De La Valdene, Ted Williams, Andy Mill, and many others who were responsible for early innovation or obsessed with catching the world record tarpon on the fly. This story is full of friendships and rivalries, some even escalating to sinking boats, ruining marriages, and much more. Monte really dives into this in his book, interviewing many of these people to get the exact story. Monte has a background of working for Forbes, where he learned the best way to get accurate information, and he does a ton of digging to make sure that he got this wild story fully accurate.

We often throw the word "Legend" around, and it is a subjective term, however it is with great confidence I say our guest this week is a legend. Flip Pallot is widely know for his iconic fly fishing show that ran for 16 seasons titled The Walkers Cay Chronicle , he is a true pioneer in the outdoor film industry. A far lesser known fact that he is also a die-in-the-wool trad bowhunter. Growing up on the edge of the Everglades and exploring the Berkshires of Massachusetts with a bow in hand is where he cut his bowhunting teeth. Today he spends time in Texas, Idaho, as well as his home state Florida with a traditional bow in one hand and a fly rod in the other. Please join Ethan and I as we share a conversation with a true legend. #Walkerscaychronicles #flippallot #stickbow Thanks to our sponsors; Selway Archery Zipper Bows Professional Bowhunters Society

Chairman Rick Pope shares his journey of building TFO. Through careers in banking (commercial lending – First National Dallas) and through sales positions with Wall Street firms (taxable fixed income – Lehman, First Boston, Bear Stearns), his interest and participation in fly fishing flourished. He met Ken Whellams, who owned Springbrook Canada in Calgary while fishing the Bow River in 1980 and their friendship led to many great trips with the likes of Flip Pallot and Lefty Kreh. He also learned a lot about the fly fishing business and in 1995 purchased Springbrook USA from Ken, which at the time was a wader and fly importing company. Excellent interview that you're going to love!
