The Wadeoutthere Fly Fishing Podcast

In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part Two of our conversation with Dave Hurley, from Detroit Michigan.  As a child Dave fished the local golf courses and waterways in San Diego, where he was born and raised, often getting chased away from his favorites spots.  He was introduced to fly fishing on a trip to Utah, and on the banks of the Green River he found himself both humbled and determined.  His commitment to fly fishing was cemented when he finally caught his first fish with a fly rod, on a small mountain stream.  He channeled his new love of fly fishing into dissecting the waters and fish of San Diego’s beaches, until an opportunity arose for him and his wife to move to Detroit. Michigan became a new home for his love of music and fly fishing.  Soon he was exploring, and eventually guiding the fresh water oceans in the area from his  own flats skiff.  In Part Two of our discussion, Dave shares sight fishing tactics on the fresh water flats in Michigan.Learn More:Instagram: @davehurlVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit TacticalFlyFisher.com and use Promo Code: wade15 at checkout for 15% off you next tactical gear purchase.Newsletter Sign-Up .

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Levi Lambert, from Sedalia, Colorado.  Levi grew up in western Montana fishing the creeks and ponds around his grandparents’ farm.  In high school and college Levi worked on a ranch in the Bitterroot Valley that hosted anglers, which is where he began an obsession with the challenge of fly fishing. Now, Levi lives in Colorado, guides on the South Platte River, and continues to pursue his passions in the outdoors.  We discuss prospecting for trout with dry flies on the South Platte River during the summer and winter months, and accuracy in casting and mending line with dry flies.Learn More:Instagram: @levilambertflyfishingMinTurn Anglers.comVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit TacticalFlyFisher.com and use Promo Code: wade15 at checkout for 15% off you next tactical gear purchase.Newsletter Sign-Up .

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Steve Schmidt, from Salt Lake City, UT.  Steve moved to Utah to pursue his love of skiing while attending college.  He quickly became a die hard fly fisherman, spending almost every free day on the Provo River, skiing in the evenings, and spending his summers on some of the west’s most storied fisheries.  Steve’s hunger to progress and learn fostered relationships with fly fishing mentors that not only helped him as a fisherman, but also opened the doors to a life and career in fly fishing.  Steve opened his fly shop, Western Rivers Fly Fisher, in 1986 and although he’s recently retired, you can still find him in the shop helping others progress on their own fly fishing journeys.  We discuss dry fly tactics and why doing the hard work matters in all aspects of fly fishing.Learn More:Western Rivers Flyfisher.comREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | What Makes a Good Day's FishingREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Embrace the DriveREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Fish One RiverREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Leveraging Angles in Fly FishingVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit TacticalFlyFisher.com and use Promo Code: wade15 at checkout for 15% off you next tactical gear purchase.Newsletter Sign-Up .
