We sit with Rob Voisin of Friends of the Grand River to chat about his fishing life and the great work this non-profit does, in order to be a voice for an iconic river in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Friends of the Grand River is a volunteer-driven, non‑profit organization based in Fergus, Ontario, dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Grand River watershed.
Since 1995, they’ve worked to educate, engage, and unite people who care about this incredible river — through conservation projects, public seminars, and hands-on efforts to protect its natural beauty and ensure it can be enjoyed for generations to come. Thanks for coming on the show, Rob!

We chat with Tim Pausinger, angler and tattoo artist based out of Toronto, Ontario. Tim hosts an event at Filson each year where he donates money from on-site tattoos to Ontario Streams. It's a great time, with Muskoka beers on hand, wicked merch, hangs with the Filson Toronto crew, and bits and bobs from us. In this show we hear about TIM! How he got into fishing, how fly fishing really captured his heart, and some on location chats with some of the friends at the event itself.
Find Tim on Instagram.
Book Tim at the Pearl Harbor Gift Shop in Toronto.

We sit down with Colby Acuff—country music artist, fourth-generation Idahoan, and former fly-fishing guide. We talk about his journey from guiding on rivers by day to playing music in smoky bars at night, and how the wilds of Idaho helped shape the raw, no-nonsense sound he’s now known for.
We get into the making of his breakout record If I Were the Devil, what it’s been like playing with legends, and how it felt stepping onto the Grand Ole Opry stage for the first time. Colby also opens up about staying grounded, staying independent, and how fishing still plays a role in his life—even with all the buzz in Nashville.
If you're into authentic country music with a bit of dirt under the fingernails, and stories that roll like a western river, this one’s for you.

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 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!
