In this episode we WadeOutThere with Peter Stitcher, from Littleton, Colorado. Peter fell in love with fishing at age four in Knoxville, Tennessee. His teacher introduced him to tying flies in 5th grade to help keep him focussed and calm during school. His education went on from there to degrees in theology, counseling, and finally aquatic biology. When Peter realized he spent all his free time on the water chasing trout, he finally recognized his future lay in fly fishing. Peter moved to Colorado, initially to manage private water, but soon discovered he wanted his own way to enjoy the connectedness he found on the river. He started his own fly shop out of his home, with the support of his wife and family. After nine and a half years, Peter moved his shop to a traditional space, opening Ascent Fly Fishing Fly Shop, where as an aquatic biologist, Peter finds joy in simplifying entomology for fly anglers. We discuss the Colorado River, fishing emerges throughout the water column, lifecycles of PMD and Caddis flies, and Peter shares his thoughts on how the river is a place of abundance for trout and people.To learn more about Peter and the topics we discussed in this episode, or to schedule a guided trip, check out the following links:AscentFlyFishing.comREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Why We Take Our Children Fly FishingLISTEN: WOT PODCAST EP. 144 | Mentorship and Sight Fishing with Landon MayerNewsletter Sign-UpView Jason's ArtworkThanks for listening.VR- Jason

Rob met Peter Stitcher at the Virginia Fly Fishing Show in January 2019. Rob and Peter are both bug geeks with backgrounds in biology. They decided to set up a podcast to geek out on bugs, discuss Peter's humanitarian work, his fishing show, bucket list hatches, and how and when to select bugs for a specific hatch in a specific location. Rob thinks Peter is THE MOST organized dude in the fly fishing industry. Hopefully they get to fish together this summer.

Editor’s Note: To celebrate the kickoff of the 2019 Giant Fly Sale, here’s a great backcast epiaode about choosing the right fly for a given situation. This week, I interview aquatic biologist and fly fisher Peter Stitcher, who not only has a great way of organizing fly boxes (a question I have always neglected to answer properly), but he also has some great guidance on how to figure out what is in the river and how to pick a fly from your box that will do the best job of imitating that insect—without any detailed knowledge of entomology. If you learn his acronyms PAUSE and MATCH, I am convinced you will have all the knowledge you need to be more successful. Listen to the podcast to learn what these acronyms mean.
