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.

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.

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.
Check out Brunswick Lake Lodge here!

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 down with Brandon Dale, a guide who specializes in taking people to fish MONSTER carp in Central Park. Yes, giant fish right in the middle of New York City.
Brandon is a biomedical researcher and medical student in training who guides on the side. Although he is all about carp in the park, he also guides for other fish around New York City, and is an avid hunter. Don't skip this awesome episode with a very wicked angler.
See more from Brandon, and book him for a day on the water!
