This past summer, we teamed up with talented filmmakers Will Phelps, as well as, Chase & Aimee Bartee of Tight Loops to document and produce a collaborative film "Hope & High Water."  The film chronicles our quest to find the Yellowstone Cutthroat trout deep in the heart of their native range. After premiering the film to over 500 people in Salt Lake City and Denver, the crew sat down to relive their August trip and explore the inner workings of the film and the logic behind using the "Pay what you think is fair" model.

My buddy  Will Phelps & I spent 4 days fly fishing & living out of his van in Canada this summer. We explored old & new creeks and stumbled on some of the best fishing of the summer. Like any fishing trip, many things did not go as planned and we had our fair share of sketchy events including a massive hail storm while mid-way through our float trip. We dive into the whole trip and share a lot that wasn't covered in the full episodes. Sit back and enjoy!

Brent and I link up with our buddy Steve to take another swing at chasing stoneflies in the west. This trip cam about super last minute but we heard reports of salmon flies so we packed the car up and headed to Idaho. From having my car break down to riverside camping in a thunderstorm, we do a deep dive on the trip and breakdown what went into this crazy couple of days. Enjoy!

Just a few weeks ago, I didn’t even own a bike. But here we were, climbing up an old service road in the middle of nowhere Idaho and I was starting to feel the reality of my inexperience. We were here to fish, but truthfully it was hard to even think about fishing with what was ahead of us. We were deep in bear country with no cell service, no support vehicle, and no option of turning around. It was just us, our bikes, and hopefully everything we needed to survive for the next six days. 

This is the full story of that trip.

Today is a special episode featuring none other than my Mom. My mom was the first one to introduce me to fly fishing and she’s been my number 1 supporter of Wild Fly since Day 1. Just last year, she left her job to come work for me full time to handle our merch fulfillment operations. So anytime one of you orders a piece of gear from us, she is the one handling it. In this episode, we talk about what it’s been like for her to step into this position, especially with me living in Utah now. We also dive into our family lineage in fly fishing, her upbringing in the outdoors and what the early days of Wild Fly looked like. I have always wanted to have  a conversation like this with her and I’m excited to share it with all of you.

On this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Alex Henderson to breakdown our week of fishing in Alaska. Alex is a Wild Fly subscriber who originally reached out to us last year about making a film in Alaska. He was a prominent character in our latest Alaska film and he's turned into a great friend. We talk about what our week in Alaska really looked like, our day to day schedule and some off-camera shenanigans that didn't make the film.
