We sit and chat with Wills of Flylords - specifically about his fly fishing life, his time paddling in Temagami, Ontario, and his most recent project, Music and Fly Fishing.
Wills is a super friendly and fishy fellow. We first met him in Colorado at the Fly Fishing Show, and bonded over our shared love for Northern Ontario.
Music & Fly Fishing is an original video series produced by Flylords, a media outlet dedicated to fly fishing culture. The series explores the intersection of music and fly fishing, featuring musicians who are also passionate anglers. Each episode highlights an artist's connection to fly fishing and how it influences their creativity and lifestyle.

EP 188 Scale of Change with HOOKÉ Live from the Yeti Booth
Tuesday Apr 01, 2025
Tuesday Apr 01, 2025
We sat with Fred and Seb from HOOKÉ to chat all about a new project and documentary, Scale of Change. This episode was recorded LIVE from the Toronto Sports Show, right in the YETI booth. We got to hear from Seb, a chef, hunter and angler about his outdoor life, and speak to Fred Campbell about Scale of Change...
In the upcoming documentary Scale of Change, we explore how individual actions, no matter how small, can lead to monumental transformations for the Atlantic salmon. One person restores a river system. Another removes a dam. Each action is a drop in the bucket, but together, those drops fill it—creating a ripple effect of change that, while not always immediately visible, holds the power to shape the future. If we believe in that shared vision, and have hope, we can make a meaningful difference.

Saturday Mar 01, 2025
Saturday Mar 01, 2025
We went BACK to Belize, and did another episode ALL about our DIY trip (with two guide days, too). This is an easy way to experience salt water fishing - tons of fish, beautiful flats, and great places to post up.
This was Aldo's third time to Belize, and Mitch's fish. MANY fish were caught, including a first landed for both Aldo and Mitch.
Want to experience Belize yourself?

EP 185 Brunswick Lake Lodge, Northern Ontario Pike and Walleye
Saturday Feb 15, 2025
Saturday Feb 15, 2025
We took a trip up to Brunswick Lake Lodge in Northern Ontario to chase walleye and pike in some incredible waters. Flying in with Hearst Air, we landed in absolute paradise—crystal-clear water, endless structure, and fish that were more than willing to eat. It was an unreal adventure! We always love hitting up the north of our home province. How can you not? If you haven't explored the NORTH, NORTH of Ontario, you should. There really is nothing like it.
Huge thanks to Melanie at Hearst Air for getting us up there safely, David from Very Good Fly Fishing for joining in on the fun, and our good pals Nick Roman and Aidas for making the trip even better.

EP 184 Old Post Lodge: Fly Fishing Pike and Walleye in Northern Ontario
Saturday Feb 01, 2025
Saturday Feb 01, 2025
We recorded on location in the actual OLD POST at the Old Post Lodge, a fishing lodge in Northern Ontario near Pickle Lake. The lodge is FULL of history and wicked fishing opportunities. It was one of the first inland Hudson's Bay trading posts established in Canada. It sits on an EPIC lake filled with incredible fishing opportunities. It's a very, very cool place, AND was a breeze to get to by charter plane from Southern Ontario.
We sat with our host for the week, Michael Del Vecchio, an ex-guide and forever friend of the lodge. Michael took us through the history of the lake and lodge, and we chat all about our fishing during or week up there.
Visit Old Post Lodge yourself. Tell 'em So Fly sent yeah!

EP 183 Max Erickson and Zento Slinger of Flylords, Fly Fishing Lake Champlain
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Max Erickson is the Creative Director for Flylords, Fiska, and Split Reed. Zento Slinger is an outdoor and fishing photographer. Both have spent copious amounts of time fishing Lake Champlain in Vermont in every season.
From bass, pike, and musky, to lakers, walleye and salmon, Lake Champlain has so much to offer. It's a massive body of water bordering Vermont, New York and Quebec, and harbors countless epic fishing stories, some of which we cover in this show.
We also dive into the fly fishing lives of Max and Zento, hear about how they got into it, and what gets them excited. They are both SUPER accomplished anglers and creatives, and it was an absolute pleasure having them on the show. Enjoy!
