We sit with rod designer from Redington, Brandon Morton, to go over the ins and outs of designing and manufacturing an exceptional rod on a mass level. We touch on some of the tech talk behind rod design, how he goes about using data to inform his work, and more.
We also get into Brandon's fly fishing life, and what he's looking forward to most in his interesting career. Brandon's first rods to hit the market at Redington include the EDC and the Vice, Miami Edition. Find them here: https://farbank.com/collections/redington-fly-fishing-rods

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?

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.

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!

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!

We sit with MacKenna Stang, an angler from just outside Denver Colorado. You can find her fishing content on Instagram @mackonthefly, where she reps brands like Redington, Rio, TroutRoutes, and more. Day to day she works in marketing, but obviously makes fly fishing a huge part of her life, fishing alongside her English cream golden retriever, Hopper.
She grew up fly fishing with her dad - her parents taking her and her sister camping often from a young age. She has always seen fly fishing as a way to connect with her dad, but she also fishes as a way to check out, connect with beautiful places, and always be learning.
Find Mack on Instagram.
