We sit and chat with Wills of Flylords - specifically about his fly fishing life, his time paddling in Temagami, Ontario, and his most recent project, Music and Fly Fishing.  Wills is a super friendly and fishy fellow. We first met him in Colorado at the Fly Fishing Show, and bonded over our shared love for Northern Ontario.  Music & Fly Fishing is an original video series produced by Flylords, a media outlet dedicated to fly fishing culture. The series explores the intersection of music and fly fishing, featuring musicians who are also passionate anglers. Each episode highlights an artist's connection to fly fishing and how it influences their creativity and lifestyle. WATCH FLYLORDS HOW TO HELP SO FLY: Please go leave us a review on APPLE PODCASTS.

Who doesn't like getting a trophy? While "best in show" awards draw the ire of people who like to complain (Complainers? In fly fishing?!? Egad...), these lists are great for everyday anglers to see what is new and notable in angling gear. Today I walk through a half dozen Consumer Choice Awards recipients from The Fly Fishing Show's 2025 slate. I talk about everything from $1,000 fly rods to tiny packs of hackle. If you are shopping for new equipment, or if you are simply interested in what is out there in the fly shops, this list is worth a peek. Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe Jackson (nom de plume is Sgt. BassFisher. No pun intended) returns to join Rob for his second episode. They first crossed paths at The Fly Fishing Show prior to the pandemic, and shortly after that encounter, Joe was featured on the show. You can listen to that previous episode below. In Rob's kitchen, there's a realistic deer hair hummingbird fly crafted by Joe, which is displayed in the mouth of a mounted sailfish. A sculpted work of art.  This guy creates some wild designs with deer hair. His latest creation is Yoshi.  Despite having numerous questions about Joe's journey over the years, his whereabouts, galivants, recent escapades, trends in fly tying, the companies he collaborates with, and more, those queries went unasked. Instead, Rob and Joe dive into a series of amusing tangents. What exactly is the Hard Mono Foundation? About thirty minutes into the recording, out of the blue, Joe chose to give his friend Jeff Rowley a call on Zoom, leading the conversation to spiral into further hilarity. We hope you enjoyed this episode, as the next one features more of Joe and Jeff sharing stories and discussing fly tying techniques using deer hair.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/557B Presented By: Angler's Coffee Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors When the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee mingles with tales of riverside camaraderie, you know it's time to pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup.

In this episode I sit down with Jeff Currier.  Jeff has fished in over sixty countries and has landed over 430 species on a fly rod, I think I need to say that again just so it resonates with people, 60 countries and 430 species on a fly rod. Unreal… Jeff was born in Massachusetts and grew up fly fishing throughout New England.  After graduating from High School, his search for new fly fishing adventures led him to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin.  After four years of hardcore fly fishing for walleye, Northern pike and muskellunge, he graduated with a Naturalist Degree.  After graduation he headed for Wyoming for a summer of trout bumming.  This led to a fly shop management job in Jackson, Wyoming that for the next 23 years would guide him fly fishing around the world.  Jeff's articles, photographs and artwork have graced the pages of magazines, catalogs, brochures and books.  Jeff is the acclaimed author of Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Saltwater Fly Fishing and Currier's Quick and Easy Guide to Warmwater Fly Fishing guide books.  He is a well sought after expert for television and commentary on radio appearing on Fishing the West, Fly Fishing the World, In Search of Fly Water, Reel Adventures, Fly Fish TV, Fly Fish America and Ask About Fly Fishing Internet Radio.  He was also a featured angler in the popular fly fishing movies Connect, Waypoints, Soulfish 2, Carpland  Evolution, Kendjam and Atlanticus. One of Jeff's most recognized accomplishments was leading Team USA to its first ever top-ten finish in the World Flyfishing Championships in Jaca, Spain.  During the competition Jeff managed to fool fish on every venue and placed third in the individual standings, becoming the first American ever to take home a medal in the thirty year history of the Championships.When the Fly Fishing Show season kicks off, Jeff can be found with crowds of people watching, listening and actively participating in his presentations.  Jeff's programs entertain, inform and instruct through his stories and beautiful photography.  Jeff is an active member of the R.L. Winston Rod Co, Simms Fishing Products, Scientific Anglers, Bauer Reels, Yeti, Costa Sunglasses, Kate's Real Foods, Fly Fishers International and Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures as well as a fly fishing lecturer and well known fish artist. I have been fortunate to know Jeff for over 20 years and we have been able to do some amazing trips together, the Amazon, Bhutan to name a few and all around the Rocky Mountain West.  We were featured in the film Carpland together which was another adventure in itself locally.  Jeff's sense of humor and authenticity follows him wherever he goes.  He has a unique ability to be at ease in all situations (even when being smuggled in and out of India).  Today Jeff resides in Hayward, Wisconsin with his wife Yvonne where he bases his globe-trotting career in fly fishing.  Without further adieu please welcome Jeff Currier to the show!Be sure to subscribe to this show on iTunes, Spotify, and your favorite podcast hosting platform.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/321 Presented By: Reyr Gear, Dette Flies, Bearvault, Jackson Hole Fly Company Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors In this episode, we're fly fishing Iceland. Sindri Hlíðar Jónsson, co-owner and head guide at Fish Partner, walks us through what it's like to fish over there. We hear about which species are the most targeted and what you need to prepare for. Find out why there are no public waters and fisheries in Iceland - how all are privately owned and by whom. We also hear about the new lodge they're working on that has five different fisheries within a 20 mins drive. Tim Cammissa told us about his awesome trip to Iceland in a recent episode. Today, we confirm with Sindri why. Check out Sindri's Top 4 Tips for Fly Fishing Iceland. Hit that play button and you just might have your next destination! Fly Fishing Iceland Show Notes with Sindri 03:30 - Sindri and I connected at the Fly Fishing Show in Denver 04:45 - Sindri grew up in the suburb town of Reykjavic 06:00 - Fish Partner started in 2013 and Sindri started guiding there right then 06:50 - The 3 main species in Iceland are trout, Atlantic salmon, and arctic char 07:30 - Early April and into May is the start of the season to fish for sea-run browns. Salmon runs start coming in late June, July, and August. Then the fall, they get another round of the sea-run browns. The season closes on October 20th 09:20 - The best sea-run browns are located on the Southeast Coast of Iceland called, Skaftafell 10:30 - Fish Partner is opening a new lodge in June which will be called, Battle Hill Lodge, located right on the banks of one of the smaller tributaries, Thvera 12:30 - Hottest temperature month is July. Their big issue is the wind because it gets really windy up there so casting can be a challenge 13:44 - Sindri recommends bringing both single and double-handed rods - 7 and 8 wt, 12 and 13 foot 15:45 - Fish Partner have about 25 guides working for them 17:30 - Prime time for Atlantic salmon in Iceland is in July 19:20 - There is no such thing as public water in Iceland - all of the waters there are leased to outfitters, angling clubs, or whoever the highest bidder is 23:10 - Sea trout numbers have gone way up and Atlantic salmon in the last 2 years have been disappointing. 15 years ago, sea-run trout was not considered a sport fish in Iceland - they were "trash fish" or food so they make about 5 to 10 runs to the ocean and live up to 25 years 25:00 - They usually just catch and release. But if people want to have fish for the table, they can take you to the high mountain lakes and they're packed filled with arctic char - taking a few for sushi or the grill is fine for the fishery 29:00 - They use flies like Mickey Finn and Black Ghost. For nymphs, Pheasant Tail works great 30:30 - Start by emailing Fish Partner and tell them what you want to do and what you want to catch - they will set up a trip and the itinerary for you. Choose whatever day you want to start and finish, if it's available on their calendar, they will make it happen 32:15 - Sindri states that they have more fish in Iceland than in Norway and Scotland but their salmon are smaller. Norway has big salmons 33:15 - Iceland has some of the biggest sea trout. The only place you could compare it to is Argentina 38:40 - The two biggest hatches in Iceland are caddis and midges 39:45 - Reykjavic alone has about 12 fly shops. All Fish Partner lodges have small fly shops 45:00 - Most of the waters in Iceland have waterfalls because it's mountainous over there - there are about 10,000 waterfalls there 50:00 - Iceland is only about 5 hours flight from the US 52:30 - Sindri says do not eat or buy farmed Atlantic salmon and he tells us why. North Atlantic Salmon Fund is an organization dedicated to saving the North Atlantic Salmon from extinction. 54:25 - Super Tinsel and Hitch Tube are some of Sindri's go-to flies Fly Fishing Iceland Conclusion with Sindri So there you go. If you want to catch some of the largest sea-run trout.. If you want to catch arctic char and Atlantic salmon.. If you want to have the water all by yourself without competition.. If you want to enjoy nature and get away from people.. If you want just a 5-hour flight and get to your destination.. Visit Iceland! Don't forget to bring your thickest jacket! And bring more of them. Thanks for listening! Comment below if you find this blog post helpful. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/321

This interaction episode of the podcast is extra interactive. No, it isn't an interview. But one of the questions I engage with was a question I was asked in person at The Fly Fishing Show in New Jersey. Don't worry, I also answered him immediately in the moment. Today I talk about fly fishing in Vermont, old product reviews, and the most essential piece of gear for trail running with the aim of fly fishing. As I've mentioned before, I truly enjoy receiving questions, comments, and observations. Keep the emails and website comments coming. Even if that means it is truly some sort of accusation.

Bill Skilton grew up in Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley surrounded by spring creeks and inquisitive anglers. Rob first met Bill in 2000 at the Fly Fishing Show at the University of Maryland and they finally had a chance to sit down together to discuss Bill's life in fishing. Rob considers Bill his fly tying mentor and they have maintained a relationship for over two decades. This episode is recorded at The Pennsylvania Fly Fishing Museum Association. Bill tells stories from his childhood in the shadows of legendary anglers that are now featured in the museum. You will hear about these legends, the flies they created, the methods they used, and the creativity involved in solving may riddles in the world of fly fishing for trout.

A round up of fishing and outdoors related news from Washington State - Skip Morris previews the Fly Fishing Show coming to Lynnwood, WA on Feb 15th and 16th - Tom Burlingame with Excel Fishing Charters explains how to catch those salmon off of Seiku this March and April. www.americaoutdoorsradio.com www.flyfishingshow.com www.excelfishingcharters.com    

Interview segment begins at 43:02 I get regular and frequent questions on the differences between nylon and fluorocarbon tippet—when and where to use them, appropriate knots, special properties, and shelf life.  I used to be involved in the development process of tippet and have visit many places where tippet is made.  But that was years ago and a lot of progress has been made since my time in product development.  So I invited Josh Jenkins, R&D manager at Scientific Anglers, to talk about recent innovations in tippet material.  Josh is intimately involved in the development and testing of tippet for both Orvis and Scientific Anglers, and his knowledge is far greater that mine.  I think you’ll learn some surprising tips on both tippet material construction and knots because I learned a lot in speaking with Josh. The Fly Box this week is a little different.  This one was recorded live at The Fly Fishing Show in Edison New Jersey.  Rather than telling you what kinds of questions were asked (none of which were prompted or ones I had heard beforehand) I’ll let you discover these on your own.  You never know what might happen in New Jersey…

Episode Summary On this episode, you will hear how the passion for fishing can be an amazing medium to effect change in the world.  I originally learned of Steve Brown when I saw his movie Beyond The Horizon.  What an incredible story.  It’s now available to watch on Vimeo and I recommend you watch it. I will leave a link in the show notes. Steve is the founder of Fish For Change and along with his team including Heather Harkavy, Director of Development and Student Programs, are making a difference in the lives of young people around the world. Have a listen to this dramatic and heart-warming podcast with Steve and Heather.  https://www.fishforchange.org https://www.flyfishguanaja.com https://vimeo.com/250590472 Thanks to our sponsors!

How I Battled To Overcome The Impostor Syndrome – Episode 163   Have you ever struggled with your confidence to launch or record an episode of your podcast? Have you worried that you were just pretending to know what you're doing? That someone might find out that you didn't really belong amongst the podcast professionals? That's the Impostor Syndrome creeping in.   I've been there. I was at that point when I started in broadcasting. I continue to fight it today.   Proper preparation will help you feel more confident in your content. You can find a free show prep sheet online at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com. This will help you set a solid foundation.   MY BATTLE WITH IMPOSTOR SYNDROME I learned the value of preparation by fighting my own battle against the Impostor Syndrome.   Impostor Syndrome is defined as a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved.   While in college getting my degree in architecture, I became a party DJ to make some extra cash. Music had always been a big part of my life. I had been a musician since I was 11. However, I had wanted to be an architect since 6th grade. Getting my architecture degree was never in question.   Around my junior year of architecture school, I started becoming disenchanted with the field. It was then that I picked up a part time summer job at a radio station where my brother worked. Just to make some extra cash. The drafting firm where I had been working recently closed its doors as the owner went to work for a larger, manufacturing company.   As my passion for architecture waned, my passion for radio grew. Next thing you know, I'm taking classes in the College of Journalism and becoming the music director of the college radio station.   My music director position at the college station turned into another part time commercial radio job. That position eventually became full time.   Architecture was still part of my life. I was nearly done with my degree and didn't want to throw it all away at that point. So, I finished my degree in architecture and continued to work in radio. Oddly enough, my only architecture job came at that drafting firm while I was still in high school.   When I began in radio, the impostor syndrome heavily kicked in. I had an architecture background. What right did I have to be on the radio?   Who was I to think I was in a position to be amongst these radio guys who had been doing it for many, many years and had paid their dues.   When I would interview famous musicians, the Impostor Syndrome would really fire up. I'm just a kid out of college with an architecture degree faking my way through radio.   I felt like I was playing dress up and pretending to be one of them. It took me years to get over that and build the confidence to perform on a daily basis.   After doing it for over 25 years, I got to the point where I was programming multiple radio stations at the same time. Some of those station were recognized with national awards from the National Association of Broadcasters.   The stations I was programming ranked #1 quite often. My own show was regularly #1. I built the confidence within myself to deliver content that was compelling and connected with my audience.   IMPOSTOR SYNDROME RETURNS When I launched my podcast, I quickly went back to the beginning. The imposter syndrome kicked in again.   Who was I to think I could build a successful podcast amongst these greats that had been doing it for years? Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting has been podcasting since 2005. I'm just starting. How can I possibly think I belong in the same arena as Dave?   Then, I started thinking about my story. I had been here before. My knowledge and experience sets me apart from a lot of podcasters. Even podcasters who had been producing content for years. That helped me shake the impostor syndrome and publish my content.   MY NEXT BATTLE Recently, I ran into that little voice again. I was in a discussion with my mastermind about the next step we each needed to take to move forward. What was the “next thing”?   As we were talking it through, I finally came to the conclusion that the voice was holding me back. What if I put all this work into creating a course or book or workshop and nobody came? The group helped me once again recognize my experience and knowledge.   An episode of “DailyVee” with Gary Vaynerchuk today did the same thing for me. Gary said, “Going 0-for-5 is better than going 0-for-0. At least you're learning something.” That made total sense to me.   HELP FOR YOU Ignore the voice and move forward. Regardless of the outcome, you'll learn something and be able to do it better next time.   That's what I want to help you do. I want to be that cheerleader for you if you don't have the history that I have to overcome that little voice inside your head doubting your ability. You can do it. You belong. You have just as much authority on your opinion as anyone. Let's get it out to the world.   It is fairly simple to set up a mic, mixer and laptop. Heck, you don't even need a mixer. Plug straight into your computer.   Load up some software and record some audio. Setting up a website with Wordpress, creating a Libsyn account and posting a show isn't very complicated.   Even if you are not very technically savvy, there are great people like Dave Jackson and the School of Podcasting that can help you with every step along the way. He even has a great class at www.HowToPodcast.com. You'll have a podcast launched in 6 weeks.   Creating the platform is only the first step. Creating great content is up to you. Your content isn't something you can outsource. You need to find the confidence to put your thoughts and feelings out into the world.   HOW YOU CAN STAT A PODCAST How do I suggest you bootstrap to begin? Make it simple. Get an inexpensive microphone, like a $60 ATR-2100. Plug directly into your computer with the USB cable. If you're adventuresome, pick up an inexpensive mixer like a $99 Yamaha 4-channel. I just purchase an 8-channel mixer at a pawn shop for $65.   Get a free Wordpress site. Create a Libsyn account for $15 a month. You'll need a computer and some free Audacity software. If you already have a laptop, you're up and running for under $100. Again, Dave Jackson has a whole list of recommendations for you at www.SchoolOfPodcasting.com. I leave the technical stuff up to him.   WHAT IS YOUR PODCAST NICHE My goal is to transform your content and beef up your confidence.   So, how do you define your niche? Will anybody really care?   It is easy for the impostor syndrome to sneak in here. Your internal impostor will tell you nobody cares about that topic. Your niche is too small and nobody will come. You'll be talking to yourself.   Fight it. Your niche size doesn't matter as much as the passion of the niche community. If you have a group of people that you are passionate about, and they are loyal to a particular subject, run with it.   The more narrowly you target your niche the better. If you are interested in fishing, pick a small niche. If you love fly fishing, but create your show around fishing in general, you will find it tough to build loyalty. If your show is only on fly fishing, you will primarily attract those interested in fly fishing. The niche is smaller than fishing in general. However, every show will be of interest to your audience.   If your show is “the Fishing Show” and all about fishing, you'll be hit and miss. One week you talk about fly fishing. The next week you discuss deep sea fishing. Now, your fly fisher friends only get what they seek on occasion. You aren't catering specifically to them. People will only check our your show now and then. You will find it difficult to build a passionate tribe.   The audience for “The Fishing Show” looks like a bigger audience than “The Fly Fishing Show”. But, it is deceiving. The passion lies in the niche.   Be confident in your topic. You will start slowly. But, it will grow. Stay the course.   PLANNING YOUR PODCAST How do you get ready? How do you overcome the pre-launch jitters?   Planning your podcast will help relieve a bit of the anxiety. If you know where you're going, you can stay focused on the goal and fight through the self doubt. Plan your show before you begin.   Let's discuss the 5 Speech class basics and how they pertain to your show.   1. Lead with a provocative point – capture their attention right at the beginning.   2. Dazzle with details – make the story come to life.   3. Take the first exit – Get out when you have the first opportunity.   4. Don't repeat yourself and overstay your welcome – In talk radio, it's called the call circle.   5. Include a call to action – this is the whole reason you're doing a podcast and creating a tribe.   Have confidence in your content. Fight the impostor syndrome. Do all you can to push forward and get your content out.   When you plan your show, it makes it easier to stay focused on the goal. Know what you hope to communicate on this episode. Lay out how you plan to communicate that information. Then, define your intro, details and exit. Define your call-to-action and determine where you plan to incorporate it into the show.   Now, all you need to do is record the show and post it for the world to hear. The more work you do ahead of recording, the easier it is to believe in yourself while the show is rolling. Remember, the main reason you are podcasting is because it is fun. Enjoy the process.   TO DO THIS WEEK This week, plan your show. Determine the topics for the show. Lay out your intro, details and conclusion for each topic.

CONFIDENCE TO BEGIN A PODCAST I'm Erik K. Johnson, founder of Podcast Talent Coach. I help people refine their content to transform their information into engaging entertainment so that they can convert their podcast audience into powerful, profitable relationships. Have you ever struggled with your confidence to launch or record an episode of your podcast? Have you worried that you were just pretending to know what you're doing? That someone might find out that you didn't really belong amongst the podcast professionals? I've been there. I was at that point when I started in broadcasting. While in college getting my degree in architecture, I became a party DJ to make some extra cash. Music had always been a big part of my life. I had been a musician since I was 11. However, I had wanted to be an architect since 6th grade. Getting my architecture degree was never in question. Around my junior year of architecture school, I started becoming disenchanted with the field. It was then that I picked up a part time summer job at a radio station where my brother worked. Just to make some extra cash. As my passion for architecture waned, my passion for radio grew. Next thing you know, I'm taking classes in the College of Journalism and becoming the music director of the college radio station. My music director position at the college station turned into another part time commercial radio job. That position eventually became full time. Architecture was still part of my life.
