Episode 50 - Rod Harrison ( Harro )

Episode 50- To many, this man will need no introduction, but for those who are very new to the sport or have been sheltered from any form of Flyfishing media in the past 50 odd years, Rod Harrison or Harro as he is affectionately known as, is one on the most influential personalities in Australian fly fishing. If you don't know who he is, keep in mind that what your doing (saltwater and Australian natives on fly) may have been very different in Australia without this man. Harro has influenced not only the sport, but countless anglers and industry products from around the country including your hosts Voltzy and Chris. We are honoured to bring you this show

Episode 48 - On this episode, we chat to two Tassie locals, Brent Bowerman (The Lost Fly) and Simon Ellis about the unique Black Bream fishery in Tasmania.

On this show, we chat about Brem techniques, but we also talk about attitudes changing towards flyfishing options in a very "Trout-centric" part of Australia.
Also on this show we learn about "Magging" and we also open up debate about Fly V Lure when it comes to material selection and what you define as a fly.

We also go into talking about Bonefish research on Anaa atoll in addition to some other stunning Polynesian locations including Marlon Brando’s private island Tetiaroa.
As for the rest of the show, lest just say this ....Shark encounters and close calls, dealing with Colombian rebel groups, private planes, snifferdogs, dirtbikes and getaway plans when it all goes wrong.
Geoff and I also talk about a few explanations about fly tying feather solution, some more shoutouts for outstanding work during the week, and also how to influence someones Instagram feed.

Episode 45 - Geoff Anderson and Simon Penn ( Heads or Tails)

Epiosde 45 - Ten years ago 3 Aussie flyfishos got together and made what is possibly the most iconic Australian Saltwater flyfishing movie we have seen. Heads or Tails was produced and directed by Phil Jagger (Who is pictured but couldn't join us) however, we were very lucky to sit down with Simon Penn and Geoff Anderson who were the two featured anglers who got some wicked fishing caught on film. You will be disappointed if your not into Permit, but if you are not into Permit, you may need to give yourself and uppercut.

Episode 44 - Justin Duggan

Episode 44 - On this episode we chat to Sydney's premiere saltwater fly fishing guide Justin Duggan. Justin, in addition to being a guide is also a CCI, former zookeeper and passionate photographer. Justin gives us a verbose run down on everything that Sydney harbour offers by the saltwater fly fisherman. An extremely interesting look at Justin's back yard that will be of interest to anyone who thinks that a big city means polluted water and hardly any fish.... and tho this who have previously thought  that way, you will be surprised to hear that it is in fact quite the opposite.
Also on this show we talk about recent customs legislation changes that will effect this looking to import rawhide products, in addition to the usual woffle Voltz bangs on about.
