Do you remember the first time you saw Hank Patterson on screen? I certainly do. I didn't know what exactly I was watching, but I was laughing and left wanting more. Travis Swartz's character, Hank Patterson, is a self-proclaimed world renowned fly fishing guide and instructor who exudes confidence in scenarios he knows very little about. His comedy pokes light-hearted fun at some of the more debatable topics in fly fishing, allowing all of us to make fun of ourselves in some form or another. In this episode of Anchored, Travis and I discuss his life as an actor and producer before turning to fly fishing humour, how the Hank Patterson character came to be, how he approaches comedy in our sport, and the film he and I made close to a decade ago. On that note, I'll see if I can find an old copy and will post it on my YouTube channel. If you're not a subscriber, I hope you will be soon!

Travis Swartz - AKA Hank Patterson shares his ideas on fly fishing, comedy and anything else that comes to mind! Hank Patterson's fly fishing and outdoor videos are hilarious looks into the "serious" life of a fly fisherman. Thea Miller Ryan sits down with Heather Taylor and talks hunting with a long-time friend. SDGFP fisheries biologist Bob Hanten talks salmon spawning.

Nearly six years ago a video popped up on Youtube featuring the ramblings of the self-proclaimed expert flyfishing guide, Hank Patterson. The video asserted the existence of “cuttyrainbrowns,” misquoted Norman Maclean, and emphasized the importance of hearing the snap in your cast. As the movie made its rounds on the blogs and social media of the time, a man sat in Boise, Idaho wondering what people thought of the whole thing. This man was Travis Swartz, and with the help of his good friend and fishing buddy, Reece Ferguison, he had created the first fictional flyfishing superstar; he had created Hank Patterson. This episode takes a look at where Hank Patterson came from, but more importantly, we hear about the man behind Hank. Many thanks to Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures and Scott Fly Rods for their continued support.

Show Notes: http://wetflyswing.com/12 In episode 012 of the Fly Fishing podcast I had the pleasure of interviewing Rob Snowhite from the Fly Fishing Consultant Podcast. Rob covers fly fishing the Salmon River (New York), talks about being one of the only guides in DC, his interview with Hank Patterson and how to avoid the crowds, and combat fishing on one of the great steelhead rivers in the Great Lakes system. The post WFS 012 – Salmon River Fly Fishing with Rob Snowhite | Steelhead – Great Lakes – Podcasting appeared first on Wet Fly Swing.

Hank Patterson is a larger-than-life character who doesn't give a heck about anyone but himself.  Hank's a beer-drinking, fish catching, lady swooning machine...and he knows it.  That's the character that Travis Swartz gets to play in his videos.  In real life, he's a low-key guy with a past filled with comedy and fishing adventure.  We had a great conversation at the Alex Johnson in Rapid City.  I challenge you not to laugh during the discussion...pretty sure you'll lose.  Good luck!   Music:   Jason Shaw - "Mountain Sun" Jason Shaw - "Rocky Top"  

 It’s Hank Patterson episode!!! This week travel to the North West, in search of some real guidance and understanding when it comes to fly fishing.  Lots to learn here from the self proclaimed world’s greatest fly guide.  Hank has us all a lil “fly curious”.  Lots of laughs in this podcast. Enjoy! For more Sonic Campfire go to www.rutandriverpursuits.com .  follow us on social media by searching  Rut and River Pursuits or @R2Pursuits.  If you would like to follow Hank Patterson like we do.  Web: www.hankpatterson.com FaceBook: @hankpattersonyourflyfishingguide  Instagram: hankpatterson , & Youtube: search Hank patterson.   

  This week we celebrate our 5 millionth podcast download and what better way to celebrate than have my hero and mentor Hank Patterson as my guest?  As with all things Hank, you never know where you will end up so be prepared for this one!  On the serious side, this week in the podcast we talk about tips for tying the Adams, best rods for casting practice, whether or not you need a net to land trophy smallmouths, the pros and cons of UV-cure vs. two-part epoxy, and what to tell an outfitter if the guide he matches you up with is less than stellar.  Happy New Year!

  Warning—this week’s podcast, besides the usual Fly Box questions, contains a blatant commercial plug.  I am often asked the difference between the original Helios and Helios 2 rods, and I think we have spelled it out pretty well in our marketing, but I figured a better way was to ask some of the best anglers and testers in the industry to articulate the differences they see between the two rods.  So you’ll hear interviews with people like Brian O’Keefe, Spencer Higa, Dave and Amelia Jensen, and John Herzer—but the real treat is to hear what the amazing Hank Patterson has to say about H2 rods.  I think you will enjoy all of these, but of course for the real truth don’t miss Hank’s interview.
