The So Fly Crew sit and chat about taking your first saltwater fly fishing trip. As anglers of the north used to freshwater fishing, they too never realllly thought it would be possible to one day fish salty places. BUT, they have now gotten some experience doing it and offer some tips and advice from what they learned on those first few trips.

Mitch and Aldo also chat to guide Capt. David Dinsmore of Islamorada, Florida. David talks about what you can expect on your first guided saltwater day, how best to prepare, and what he thinks makes an epic day on the water.
