In this episode, we chat about how we fly fish in the summer months. Summer fishing for trout can be difficult in North Carolina as water temperatures rise. We discuss how we approach trout fishing and how we chase other species during the summer months.

We also take some time to discuss some future summer fishing trips and plans with our families for the precious time we get together with them during the summer.

March Madness has always been a huge deal in our home. Every year since we were young we spent time filling out our brackets and then watching the big dance and pulling for our teams to pull the upset. We figured what better way to celebrate March Madness this year than creating our very own fly bracket. We've put together 64 well known flies, seeded them, and then invited some of our friends to help us vote for each match up. Full of controversy, listen in as we discuss the match ups and eventually choose the 2024 Dads On The Fly Ultimate Fly Bracket champion.

Let us know which match ups we got wrong and your opinions on your favorite flies.
