In this episode of the Mudfish Adventures Podcast, Master Captain Steve "Scooby" Stubbe takes you behind the scenes at the 50th Anniversary of the Houston Fishing Show, where he sits down with Jeff Purdy and Zach Dorman of The Fly Hair Co. These fly-tying pioneers share their journey from taxidermy roots to becoming one of the most sought-after sources of premium fly-tying materials in the U.S.

Learn about their unmatched fly-tying materials sourced from all over the world—ranging from mountain goat hair to Texas peccary—and how their signature bucktails and exclusive hair blends are changing the game for fly anglers. Zach, The Fly Hair Co.'s head fly tier, breaks down the benefits of natural hair brushes, their cutting-edge Livescope jigs, and how their custom designs are making waves in both the trout and crappie fishing world.

Whether you're a seasoned fly tier, a guide, or new to the game, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and passion for the craft. Plus, find out how their unique dyes and methods passed down from fly-tying legend Kyle Hand are keeping tradition alive—one epic fly at a time.
