Tune in and let Mark Melnyk guide you through the secrets of catching big trout in Chile's pristine rivers. Episode Chapters with Mark Melnyk on Fly Fishing in Chile 3:29 - Our chat started with the legacy of Colin McKeown, the founder of The New Fly Fisher television series. Colin, who recently passed away, had been struggling with health issues for several years. Mark shares his journey with him, starting 25 years ago when Colin pitched the idea for the educational fly fishing show. After layoffs in Canadian sports, Colin invited Mark to host episodes, demonstrating his generous and loyal nature. 12:21 - Mark discusses collaborating with travel partners. He explains his approach of identifying which lodges need marketing assistance, especially as younger generations take over lodge operations. Mark offers to help these lodges market their businesses by hosting episodes at their locations. The lodges are only required to provide time and resources, with no financial cost involved. This model allows the lodges to benefit from increased exposure while the show explores their regions for several days. 17:15 - We ask about his trip to Chile, specifically to a town called Balmaceda in Patagonia. Mark, along with Tom Rosenbauer, will target brown and rainbow trout in various water bodies. Mark highlights the unique fishing experience in Chile due to its low fishing pressure compared to other places, as well as the cultural and scenic aspects, such as the friendly locals and gauchos on horseback. 20:53 - Mark highlights the three outfits of Magic Waters Patagonia, namely: Magic Waters Patagonia Lodge, Magic Waters River of Dreams, and Patagonia Baker River Lodge. 24:26 - He walks us through traveling to Magic Waters Patagonia. Starting from Toronto, he takes a red-eye flight to San Diego, followed by a short layover, and then a connecting flight to Balmaceda. Upon arrival, the Magic Waters team picks them up, and it's about an hour's drive to the main lodge. Alternatively, reaching the Baker River Lodge takes about four hours through the mountains, offering views of General Carrera, Chile's largest lake, known for its exceptional fishing of big browns, rainbows, and cherry salmon. 26:57 - Mark describes the first day on the water, explaining they fish with large terrestrial flies like chubby chernobyls and damsel flies, which attract brown trout that leap dramatically to catch them. He also mentions the unique challenge of fishing in a very narrow but deep spring creek, where fish strike quickly, and the windy conditions of Patagonia. 29:02 - Mark will be hosting a trip to Chile on March 1st to 8th. He mentions that he still has spots available for this trip and plans to bring a cameraman to document the experience, showcasing what a hosted trip entails. This documentation aims to offer insight to those considering such trips, whether it's at Magic Waters or other destinations like Cuba or Belize. 30:45 - Mark gives some valuable tips in fly fishing in Chile. He emphasizes the importance of listening to guides who are familiar with the fish behavior on local rivers. He advises anglers to "fish big," using large flies and robust presentations, as the environment is competitive and predatory. He also suggests bringing extra rods due to the remote location, while noting that the guides provide ample flies and exceptional support, including meals and entertainment like traditional Chilean music. 34:29 - For more content and information on Magic Waters Patagonia, Mark recommends their YouTube channel @newflyfisher, featuring episodes from Magic Waters Patagonia Lodge, Baker River Lodge, and River of Dreams. 36:51 - Mark shares some tips on traveling for fishing trips. He emphasizes the importance of being prepared for unexpected travel issues, such as mechanical problems or weather delays, and advises travelers to stay calm and adaptable. He recommends keeping essential fishing gear like rods and reels in carry-on luggage to avoid issues if checked luggage is lost. Mark also suggests planning extra days around a trip to explore the local culture and environment, enhancing the travel experience. 40:40 - We get into the gear. Mark highlights the importance of bringing appropriate gear, such as floating lines, five and six weight rods for stream and lake fishing, and potentially a two-handed rod like a spey or switch rod for larger rivers with fast-moving water. He advises having reels with great drags due to the smart fish and strong currents. 43:53 - Mark mentions some other stuff and gear to bring for a fly fishing trip in Chile. He emphasizes the importance of layering, starting with a merino wool base layer for its moisture-wicking properties, followed by insulation layers like jogging pants and a synthetic puffy jacket. Additionally, he highlights the necessity of a waterproof shell and backpack to store extra layers, ensuring they stay dry. Mark also discusses the intense sun exposure in Chile, advising the use of buffs, zinc sunscreen, and sun gloves to protect against sunburn, particularly under the chin and on the tops of hands. 49:38 - Mark describes a standout dish featuring abalone prepared by Chef Angela at the River of Dreams Patagonia. He had never tried abalone before, which is not commonly available in Canada. He found the dish to be extraordinary, with the abalone being tender and flavorful, complemented by fantastic sauces.

This week we talk to Mark Melnyk !   This show is brought to you by: nor-vise.com togensflyshop.com http://northshoreflyshop.ca/  

[Interview starts at 38:00]   This week I interview Mark Melnyk, host and producer of The New Fly Fisher TV show and the co-producer of The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing Season 2.  We tell some stories about what it's like filming a show and share some nasty tricks we played on cameramen over the past year.  The Orvis show premieres this week on World Fishing Network, but shows will also premiere for the next 13 weeks every Sunday on The Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing You Tube Channel.  Season 2 will also appear on PBS and on Amazon Prime later in the year, once we have all the shows completed.   In the Fly Box this week, we have a couple good tips from listeners (actually adding information to topics previously discussed on podcasts) including more detail on polarized lenses and why tilting your head helps, and also some additional information on keeping your muscles and joints in shape when fishing.   We also have these questions: Should I wait to buy a first fly rod now, or should I  wait until I can go to an Orvis FF101 class once the stores re-open? What suggestions do you have to help me tie on those size 20 and smaller flies? I need up to 8 false casts to cast 60 feet.  What am I doing wrong? I enjoyed watching you tie a Clouser Minnow.  How should I fish this fly for smallmouth bass in a river? Why is it not OK to trim hackle on dry flies? What data would you add to a streamside journal? Do you think personal hygiene affects the sense of smell of trout? Once I start traveling again I want to try some saltwater species.  Which ones should I target on my trip?

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/93 Bill Spicer host of The New Fly Fisher breaks down musky fishing and some great tips to get you into a chance for a big fish.  We talk about the best lakes to target musky, the gear you need to have a chance and how to revive a tired fish. Bill describes the biggest difference between pike and musky, why he uses marker buoys and how a musky can melt a stainless steel hook.  Lots of good stuff including where to go for more resources to hook some musky. Show Notes with Bill Spicer Updated Time and Links: https://wetflyswing.com/93 Bill has been part of The New Fly Fisher as a host for a number of years now.  Bill tells us how he was lucky and in the right place. Mark Melnyk and Phil Rowley are both part of The New Fly Fisher.  Phil Rowley was on in a past episode and it was a very good show. Colin McKeown was on the podcast and talked about atlantic salmon. Lake of the Woods and Lake Nipising are two of the goto lakes for Musky if you could go anywhere. The RIO musky pike taper is a goto line that Bill uses.  He feels it's one of the best lines on the market. Bite wire from RIO is a key for keeping fish on your line and avoids leaving a hook in a musky mouth. The figure 8 is a key.  Check out the Crow Lake Lodge which breaks out the figure 8.  This is a good video that shows how to do the figure 8 and hook a fish. Marker boys help to mark the areas where fish are holding. Andy Pappas was one of the big guides that helped Bill with Musky. Francisco Vilches was a huge South American guide with Huillin Fly Fishing. Jim Saric's Musky Hunter is a good resource along with the Ugly Pike Podcast as well as Muskies Canada. The best temperatures are between 55 and 72 degrees.  Here are a list of some good musky videos. Mark Melnick is the newest new fly fisher and covering salt. Erick Clapton and Chet Atkins are both big influences for Bill. You can find Bill at The New Fly Fisher on Youtube. Resources Noted in the Show A few of the products that Bill notes in the show: RIO InTouch Pike/Musky Fly Line RIO Wire Bite Tippet   Videos Noted in the Show Huillin Fly Fishing in Patagonia   Chet Atkins - Black Mountain Rag Eric Clapton - Layla Conclusion with Bill Spice Bill Spicer breaks out some great tips including where the New Fly Fisher has taken him over the last 17 years.  We find out why synthetics are better for tying, why a wide gap hook is best, why you need a carbonated beverage to save fish, and the bigger difference between pike and musky.

We’ve all heard about going to remote camps in Labrador or Quebec for large brook trout, but less well known are the drive-in rivers of Ontario. Ontario has some amazing wilderness fishing for large brook trout that can be accessed without a float plane, and Mark Melnyk, co-host of the TV show The New Fly Fisher has explored many of them in the course of scouting locations for his show. The fantastic part of the story is that he hardly ever needs to resort to a subsurface fly and most of the action is on the surface with mice and other floating imitations. Listen in to Mark’s tips on where to go and how to catch these trophy fish on a budget. In the Fly Box this week, we have some interesting questions and also some great tips from listeners (if these tips get any better I’ll be out of a job!) I only have a 7 ½ foot rod and it’s a bit short for working larger rivers. Can I use my 9 foot 8-weight for trout? Is tungsten toxic? A great tip on how to keep split shot from sliding on the leader A great tip for keeping Thing-A-Ma-Bobbers from sliding on your leader Can I fish the same big dries I use on the headwaters of a creek further down in the watershed? Where can my friend go to get help with his tailing loop? Are knotted leaders better than knotless leaders? Is it better to use a nail knot on my line instead of a loop-to-loop connection? How do I keep some old treasured wet flies from degrading? Are tactical barbless hooks better than just mashing the barb on a standard hook? Is it more effective to use a hackled dry fly or a Comparadun-type during a mayfly hatch? A great tip from a listener in Ireland on a method of fishing soft hackles called The Escalator Method

  Mark and I come back down from our marketing talk, and turn the conversation back to some of his projects. Tune in for more about the inspiration and history of the show Guided with Mark Melnyk, the birth of The New Fly Fisher, and a wonderful tangent about Mark's love of rodeo and everything cowboy. We wrap up the show going even deeper into the work Mark has done with Wilderness North, and he spares no detail describing the beauty of this paradise on earth. As luck would have it, shortly after speaking with Mark about the Calgary Stampede in this episode, the opportunity to visit family in Calgary right at Stampede time came up. So, per Mark's advice, I'm heading out West to take in a quintessential piece of Canadiana this summer.

  Mark Melnyk is probably one of the most recognizable figures in the sport fishing industry, particularly as it pertains to episodic and full length features. If you've watched the World Fishing Network for any length of time, you've no doubt seen Mark's body of work. The last thing Mark would call himself is a professional angler, yet, this man has crossed more fishing experiences off his bucket list than many of us could ever hope to. You'll find this episode to lean far more into the production and business side of the industry, but the conversation is riveting. Mark shares with us the kind of insight into the fishing industry that only a man who's worn every hat there is can give us. It was truly a pleasure having the opportunity to talk with Mark, and I'm sure you will enjoy every pearl of wisdom he shares.
