Tying Atlantic Salmon Flies and the Grainger Collection with Marvin Nolte (Traveled #42)
2026/04/17 | 46 mins.
#912 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/912
Presented by: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho

In this episode on classic salmon fly tying, I sat down with Marvin Nolte, a guy who's been at the vise since the 1970s and has tied over 2,000 classic Atlantic salmon flies. We get into what it really takes to tie these patterns, why most people don't stick with it, and how a random Christmas gift turned into a decades-long obsession.

We also dig into one of the wildest stories in fly tying, the massive Granger collection, and what it says about craftsmanship, patience, and going deep into the details.

911 | Ultimate Fly Fishing Travel Guide - Bahamas & Kamchatka with Will Blair
2026/04/15 | 1h 17 mins.
Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/911
Presented by: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho, Jackson Hole Fly Company, and Montana Fly Fishing Lodge.
Fly fishing travel isn't what it used to be. The easy trips are getting crowded, and the places that still feel untouched take a little more effort to reach.
In this episode, we get a real look at what that next level of travel looks like. Will Blair walks through two very different fisheries—the remote flats of the Bahamas and the wild rivers of Kamchatka—and explains how both are evolving right now.
This is a full-on fly fishing travel guide, from logistics to species to what actually matters once you get there.
How to Find Trout and Turn Refusals Into Eats: Guide Tips from the Provo River with Mike O'Brien

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/910B
Presented by: Fly Fish with me Utah
Most anglers walk right past good water without even knowing it.
In this episode, we're digging into how to find trout and turn refusals into eats with Mike O'Brien. He shares how guides break down a river in the first few minutes and what they look for before making a single cast.
We also get into why trout refuse flies that look perfect, and how small changes in your drift and position can turn those refusals into eats. Mike talks about reading trout behavior, spotting high percentage water, and making simple adjustments when things aren't working.

909 | The Ultimate Guide to Trout Food: Mayflies, Stoneflies & More with Maggie Heumann
2026/04/10 | 58 mins.
#909 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/909
Sponsors: Grand Teton, AVC Rig, TroutRoutes
There's a whole world of trout food drifting beneath the surface that most anglers never fully notice. Tiny insects, short-lived hatches, and subtle movements quietly control how trout feed and where they hold.
In this episode, we dig into trout food — not just what they eat, but why it matters. Because once you start noticing bugs, the river starts making a whole lot more sense.
Maggie Heumann from Trout Unlimited joins me to break down aquatic entomology in a way that actually connects to your time on the water.
