People of Fly Fishing

Pig Farm Taos – The Feather Thief from Simms Fishing on Vimeo. SIMMS is travelling with Pig Farm Ink on the Farmageddon 2018 Tour. An update from the Taos, New Mexico stop: A favorite trait of the Pig Farm across the nation is the people who get involved in it. They are the builders of […]

If you missed the first part of Capt. Johnson’s interview, read it here, and visit Fly Fish Rockport here. What’s a typical guiding day look like for you and your team? Of course this can depend on the time of year, as far as when we actually get out and hit the water. But certainly […]

It’s my distinct pleasure to present the first of two People of Fly Fishing interviews with Capt. Jeff Johnson of Fly Fish Rockport, in (of course) Rockport, Texas. Rockport has been a fishing hotspot in my family for over five decades, growing up hearing my coastal fishing grandfather and parents speak of it in hallowed […]

Here’s the second part of our interview with Steven Palmer; read Part 1 here if you missed it yesterday. You spend a fair bit of your professional fly shop time teaching people the fundamentals of tying and fishing with Orvis’ impactful introductory programs; what’s the best advice you’d give ahead of time to an absolute […]

It’s my pleasure to bring to you today the first of a two part interview with Steven Palmer, the Fishing Manager at Orvis Plano (DFW metro). I had the pleasure of meeting Steven several years ago, and have found him to be one of the most patient, easy-going, and knowledgeable guys in the Texas fly […]

We’re back with the second part of this week’s People of Fly Fishing interview with Jake McGlothlin of Hatch Adventures; read part 1 here if you missed it yesterday. What do you consider your home water and what about it keeps you coming back time after time? That’s a tough call, but I’d have to […]

I’m truly pleased to present today the first of a two part People of Fly Fishing interview with Jake McGlothlin (yep, that Jake who was a cofounder of Chi Wulff back in the day) representing Hatch Adventures, a new startup which will be of critical interest to fly fishers headed to Southwest Montana this next […]

Lefty Kreh passed yesterday morning, surrounded by family and friends at home, apparently peacefully and without pain or distress as his congestive heart failure finally wore him down. Our hearts go out to Lefty’s family and close friends in this time of loss, and it’s very clear from the response yesterday and today that the […]

Dammit, almost missed this one. Read the full piece here if you haven’t already (this may be the best thing you read all week, so do it now).

Finding Joe Brooks from joebrooks documentary on Vimeo.

Read the long-form piece here in Baltimore Magazine. Thanks to Jeff M. for sending this link in – missed it last year when it first ran…

Noticed this message link ostensibly from Lefty (image grab below as well) last week… We’ve long been admirers of Lefty, have enjoyed his wit and wisdom at shows, and have a number of his books on the shelf. His stamina has been been pretty remarkable up to now, and we among hundreds wish him the […]
