Episode 80 - Glenn Watt ( Barefoot Fishing Safaris)

On Episode 80, we chat to Northern Territory guide Glenn Watt. Glenn owns and operates Barefoot Fishing Safaris out of Bynoe Harbour and Darwin Harbour. Even though Watty drinks Great Northern, we still had a great chat about the massively overlooked potential of Bynoe and Darwin Harbour as an epic flyfishing destination. Stories of Massive schools of Goldies, Threadies, bastards and permit on flats that get driven over in search of Barramundi, and an incredible pelagic fishery that is al but ignored again due the popularity of Barramundi... not that there is anything wrong with Barra. Glenn is an operator up there that is trying to shine the light on what most of Australia look either side of. Open up Google maps and have a listen to the image Glenn presents and maybe you will consider the NT as your next saltwater flyfishing destination. It sounds incredible to us!!

Episode 77 - Nicky and Andy Mill ( Millhouse Podcast)

On episode 77, we chat to the Father and Son team from the Millhouse Podcast. The Millhouse podcast is a Podcast that showcases some of the most influential fly fisherman of our time. The show is hosted by Andy Mill and his Son/ student Nicky Mill and to many the Mill name needs no introduction at all. Andy is widely accepted as one of the most successful tarpon anglers the world has known. Nicky is no slouch on the bow either, and is already a force to be reckoned with within the Tournament scene, no doubt will be a big player to watch closely.
On this show we get behind the scenes of the podcast and discuss what it takes to produce arguably the worlds most popular Fly fishing Podcast. We also talk about their Father/ Son dynamic, both with the podcast and on the water. We also talk fishing because that's the reason we do all this.
Please enjoy the show

Episode 76 - Dylan Tomlinson

On episode 76 we head over to the West Oz and speak to the future of the sport who is actually living in the past ( we explain on the show) about how he got going, what he catches and his pumping fly tying business Dyl's Hand Tied Flies. Dylan had an unusual introduction to fly tying as he explains on the show, and this explains his unique approach and style of tying. On this show we also explore some of the lesser known freshwater Western Australian scene with tales of some of the biggest Murray Cod you have heard of, Bass, Trout and mysterious rocks that run and speak to you through telepathic means. 
Checkout Dylan on Instagram and Facebook by looking up Dyl's hand Tied Flies and even buy some flies from the legend.

Episode 75 - The Honourable Dean Butler.

Welcome back folks!! We are starting 2021 the same way we started 2020 with our favourite Aussie Legend Dean Butler. If your listening to this to discover who Dean is, I suggest you go back into our catalogue 12 months and listen to episode 25. For those that don't know, Dean is a world renowned fly Angler/ Guide and star of the hit U.S. Show Shameless.
On this show we are pretty much sitting around the digital campfire where the conversation goes in a lot of different, but fly fishing related directions. From Croc stories, to political and environmental issues, then over to discussing the philosophy behind a good angler of any code then trying to find out why the hell more Spanno's aren't pinned on fly. This show is best described as deeply textured and although she is a long one, the conversation really flowed..... Please enjoy the show !!

Episode 74 - Jako Lucas ( Captain Jack Productions)

Episode 74 - On this our last episode of the year, we present one of the worlds most influential anglers, Jako Lucas the founder of Captain Jack Productions. You may have heard of some of his epic cinematic masterpieces such as " Gangsters Of The Flats" or "The African Tiger", "Relentless Pursuit" or his most recent film that features some epic Australian footage " Glorious Bastards". But what you maty not know is that Jako has guided in multiple countries including Mongolia, Russia, Norway and now in the United States. Jako started his career guiding in the very famous Seychelle's where he established a reputation as a great guide. 
On this show we chat to Jako about that mindset that took him to all these places and also helped him to develop into arguably one of the best flyfishing film makers we have seen.
Merry Christmas everyone, thanks for your support and listenership over the last year, we have a lot of fun and we meet great people, and we have very much enjoyed getting the anadromous and catadromous connected..... see you next year.
 

Episode 73 - Doctor Mitchell Bates

On episode 73, we invited 2 young guns aboard to offer their perspectives on Australian fishing Podcasts. Our First guest is Mitchel McMaster who is one of the two hosts on the Australian Fishing Podcast called "On the Cast". The second guest is Dr Christopher Bates who is a renowned Mudskipper Biologist (with special interests in water sports) from Townsville and avid listener/ contributor of the show. We have a loosely themed chat about podcasting and what it has meant for these two guys from very different perspectives. Look, at the end of the day we tried to maintain a subject, but to be fair, a lot of this show is just clowning around....we had a lot of fun and really hope you enjoy the show too.... just think it could be worse, we could be talking about fly lines.

Episode 72 - Your Muppets Guide to Christmas

On this episode, that we gift to you early in the spirit of Christmas ... Those 2 White Boomers Voltz and Chris, tickle the sleigh bells for this gift idea extravaganza.... oh and we also do Voltzy's world wide of sports yet again.... your welcome.

Episode 71 - Neil Cunnington

Episode 71 - On this episode we asked Neil Cunnington to stay up late so we could talk about fly fishing the famous Tongariro river in New Zealand and also about the roots of his fly fishing experience in Mackay central Queensland. Neil's story is a bit different in that he has gone from Tropical Saltwater Fly Fishing to doubling down on Trout. Neil is a very successful angler who is driven to spend as much time on the water as possible, and on this show not only do we have a detailed conversation about the fishing and techniques, but also managing the voices in Neil's head that instruct him to fish hard and fish often. A true gentleman, its was great to have him on the show and we both hope you enjoy that show as much as we did.
