So Fly Fishing

The So Fly Crew sit and chat about taking your first saltwater fly fishing trip. As anglers of the north used to freshwater fishing, they too never realllly thought it would be possible to one day fish salty places. BUT, they have now gotten some experience doing it and offer some tips and advice from what they learned on those first few trips.

Mitch and Aldo also chat to guide Capt. David Dinsmore of Islamorada, Florida. David talks about what you can expect on your first guided saltwater day, how best to prepare, and what he thinks makes an epic day on the water.

The So Fly Crew sit with angler and guide from Colorado, Austin Campbell. Austin got the bug for fishing in Kansas before moving to Colorado - that's when his fly fishing life really began.

Since then he's turned angling into a full-time gig, and now guides people on the waters throughout the state. He also leads an organization called Community Fly Fishing that's dedicated to creating more opportunities for people to get into fly fishing and meet likeminded fanatics.
