Pennsylvania fly fishing offers an incredible variety of trout water, from limestone spring creeks to mountain brook-trout streams and the famous rivers throughout the Cumberland Valley. Michael Heck of Falling Springs has spent decades learning these waters, guiding anglers, developing fly patterns, and studying the trout that make this region so special. In this conversation, Michael shares how to approach clear water, read trout behavior, recognize important hatches, and adjust your presentation to catch more fish.

Nushagak River fly fishing is all about targeting wild leopard rainbow trout, working streamers through logjams, and deciding when to commit to a mouse fly. In this episode, we head to Outpost on the Nush with Sawyer Keener to talk about the fishing techniques that make this Alaska fishery so memorable. We get into the early-season salmon smolt run, the importance of fishing tight structure, and how to handle a big trout when it eats a mouse.

Huey Lewis spent decades making music that defined the 1980s, selling millions of records with Huey Lewis and the News and helping bring Back to the Future to life with "The Power of Love." Today, he's spending much of his time on the rivers of Montana and British Columbia, chasing trout and steelhead with a fly rod.

Huey joins us to share how his father's early fishing lessons eventually led to a lifelong passion for fly fishing. We get into his love of dry flies, the 19 steelhead he caught during a recent season, and why watching a steelhead rise to a skated fly is one of his favorite experiences on the water.

Scott Barrus arrived at Spinner Fall in 1998 as a 21-year-old shuttle driver, sleeping behind a couch and fishing every day. A year later, he spent his college tuition money on a drift boat and began his guiding career on the Green River.
Today, I sit down with Scott to explore the 30 miles below Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah. We cover the A, B, and C sections, blue-winged olive hatches in April and May, summer caddis, and cicada fishing that can bring trout looking for your fly.
Scott also shares why he usually fishes a 12-foot leader with 4X tippet, the story behind the Chernobyl Ant, and why seeing trout rise through the Green’s clear water can make you set the hook too soon.
