Presented by: AVC Rig

Scott Harkins has spent decades traveling the Rocky Mountains, working with some of fly fishing's best-known brands and exploring rivers across Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. With the Yampa River in his backyard and the Green River and North Platte within reach, he's built a career that keeps him close to some remarkable trout water.

We get into fly fishing around Steamboat Springs, finding lesser-known trout streams, and how drought and changing river conditions have affected fishing across the Rockies. Scott also shares how a chance move to Telluride led to a career representing companies like Winston, Lamson, and Simms.

Presented by: Nomadic Waters
A peacock bass can follow your fly all the way to the boat, look you straight in the eye, and still decide to eat. Today, we’re heading deep into the Amazon, where placing your fly tight to submerged trees is part of the challenge.
Michael and Kristi Williams from Nomadic Waters join me to discuss peacock bass fly fishing and their operation in Brazil. We cover sight fishing for giant peacocks and handling their first powerful runs, plus payara, arowana, and arapaima that can grow well over 100 pounds.
Michael and Kristi also walk us through the journey into camp, from arriving in Manaus to flying over the jungle in a private charter plane and landing right on the river.

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.

Presented by: Outpost on the Nush

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.
