On this episode we sit down with the dream team!

Charlie and Roxie Allen started Axiomatic Fly fishing in early 2022. Charlie had already been fly fishing for 14 years and sudo guiding for the last 4. Roxie, new to fly fishing but eager to learn and always ready to hit the water was ready to learn her way up to guiding and almost always rides along on their trips- helping rig up rods, pass out food and beverage and assist in anyway possible. Their roots in fly fishing are very different - Charlie grew up in Utah, and had a few brief interactions with a fly rod before moving to Oregon with his father in 1996, He didn’t touch a fly rod again until 2008, when a friend of his took him out to the Deschutes river where he had that glaring moment when he knew fly fishing had set its claws in him. Roxie has a different story- as an LA native, her path to fly fishing was in the form of long drives to the Sierras and up to the Pacific Northwest exploring rivers. After making a move to Oregon in 2020 & then meeting Charlie, she began learning the swung fly. It was their third date; he took her to the McKenzie river and it’s all down stream from there.

On this episode we site down with Amanda Winkelman. Born and raised in the PNW just northwest of Seattle. A mom of 5 kids.

Amanda always had a love for water;  Rivers, lakes, and ocean. Being a creative lady, color, texture and design. was another facination of hers.  In fact she was published in a few International paper crafting publications for her work with color and textur in the mediums of ink and paper.

Began tying and learning all things spey fishing. Now selling her flies both on her won and thru a local fly shop.

"I believe there's something to fishing, to spay casting, to standing in a rive, to interacting with creatures that Thrive by swimming against the current that allows us humans, as creatures of hustle and stress to better be able to have a whole life experience".

"Spey casting,  fly fishing,  and fly tying show us that when we slow down and focus on what is important, it always works out in the end".

On this episode we sit down with Garrisons Doctor co-founder of RepYourWatet.

“I was born in Boulder, Colorado where I spent as much time as I could outside. There is no fishing tradition in my immediate family, but for some reason I have always been captivated by fishing and catching fish. After I got my first fly rod at about age 10, my love affair with fly fishing was sealed. While my passion has always been fishing, my dedication and education have been in fine art. I have been drawing and painting since before I can remember. In 2011 my wife Corinne and I started RepYourWater apparel. RepYourWater is the perfect mix of my passions, a place where I can combine art, design, fly fishing, hunting and conservation. Today we live in a small town just outside of Boulder. When I am not traveling the world in search of fish, or floating on a western river, you will probably find me at our office/warehouse with the music turned up too loud or in my fine art studio making a mess with pastels…”

On this episodes we sit down with Jordan Young-Treadway from the Pacific Northwest Washington State.

 An avid fly fisherman, outdoor enthusiast and fly fishing guide. The ultimate ambition I have is to welcome and share my passion for the outdoors with everyone I come in contact with. 
 
“For myself, exploring the outdoors particularly through fly fishing has had a tremendous positive impact on my life and I want to help open the doors for others just as those who have done for me. I understand that not all people have easy access, opportunities or role models that they can relate to in the outdoor world. I want to be the person that helps bring down the barriers and helps people explore the outdoors and fly fishing. By sharing my dedication and love for the rivers, forests and open spaces within them.

Whether its swinging for steelhead, stripping streamers for eager bull trout, or hooking into the salmon of their life I will always strive to create positive impact on as many lives as I can!”
