    Planning a Fly Fishing Adventure with Hatch Adventure Travel
    May 16 2025

    If you're like Ross, you could probably spend your entire life exploring the waters in your home state and still never come close to seeing them all. But we live on a big planet full of interesting fish that will eat a fly in wild places, and sometimes you want to get out and see something radically different--think float plane trips in the Northern Rockies, stalking GTs off the coast of Africa, or throwing flies at monstrous taimen in the Mongolian Steppe.

    In this episode, we are joined by Chris Hunt from Hatch Adventure Travel. In addition to being a hardcore fly angler and prolific author on the sport for Hatch Magazine and others, Chris and his partners help organize some of the most incredible fly fishing adventures you could ever dream of.

  • Three(ish) Ways to Keep Fishing through Runoff

    Three(ish) Ways to Keep Fishing through Runoff
    May 2 2025

    Runoff has arrived, and while we have talked about the science and safety of high-water season, we have yet to talk about the other important thing: How to keep fishing during this tough season.

    In this episode, Ross walks you through three ways (with some extras for good measure) to keep your rod bent while you wait for the streams to settle down and the high-alpine lakes to ice off. No need to sit inside counting the days!
