    Brown TroutLand: Central Finland with Jani Himanko
    Jul 26 2024

    Our destination is the Troutland region of central Finland with Hall of Fame fly angler, Jani Himanko, owner of the world famous Kellankoski Lodge. Central Finland is home to some of the best fly fishing in Europe and the happiest people on the planet, not to mention brown trout the size of your leg. As Jani says, we don’t take pictures of 20” fish.

    A 25-year veteran of the industry, Jani writes for local hunting and fishing magazines and was inducted to the Finnish Fishing Hall of Fame in 2023. He makes the case for Finland and the famous baitfish hatch, plus stories of Arctic char and sea run browns, Russian helicopters and the Kota Peninsula, and fly fishing Greenland and Norway. Bonus: the famous surfboard fly and why you should drink Loncaro.

  • Trophy Trout Fly Fishing on Grey Reef with Blake Jackson

    Trophy Trout Fly Fishing on Grey Reef with Blake Jackson
    May 30 2024
    Our destination is the world-famous Grey Reef on the North Platte River with Blake Jackson, co-owner of the Ugly Bug Fly Shop, Casper Wyoming. Grey Reef is one of the great tail waters of the west, offering a 70-mile western fly fishing experience with oversized, football-shaped wild trout, and plenty of solitude where 50 fish days are common. Blake grew up in Wyoming doing what Wyoming kids do – hunting, fishing, and playing sports. After college, he quickly realized a fly-fishing guide could not afford to live in Bozeman and returned to Wyoming, where he now co-owns the fly shop. Today, we explore the Reef, Miracle Mile, and Fremon Canyon and the conservation story behind the trophy fly fishing here, plus slow-it-down streamer techniques, local fly patterns, stories from Mongolia, Wyoming elk hunting, naked customers, and why you need to cast to the center of the stream.

  • Bending Hooks on the Youghiogheny River with Rob Walters

    Bending Hooks on the Youghiogheny River with Rob Walters
    May 2 2024

    Our destination is the revered Youghiogheny River in Southwestern Pennsylvania with expert fly angler, Rob Walters, head guide for Laurel Highlands Guide Service. Once polluted from abandon mines, the “Yawk” as it’s called, has undergone a remarkable transformation into a world-class tailwater with a reputation for big trout and tremendous hatches.

    Rob grew up in Delaware fly fishing on local trout streams and stripers in the surf. In 2005, he moved to Pittsburgh and traded in the salt life for the mountain life of Western PA and has been guiding and fly fishing the Yawk ever since.

    Today Rob dials us in to the quality trout waters in the 11 mile middle section, tips on matching streamers to water types and temperature, pike on the fly in the UK, and some great stories of trout so big they straighten your hook.
