The So Fly Crew sit together, just them, for the first time in a while. They discuss their 2021 trout fishing season in Southern Ontario, reminisce on some good times, and bid farewell to the 2021 season. It truly was one for the books. 

The So Fly Crew sits with Jean-Marie, otherwise known on Instagram as @thejeanbug. Jean is an angler from Idaho that spends her weekends fishing with her partner Dave, exploring in their bright orange van. In this episode, Jean and the crew discuss the fly fishing opportunities in Jean's area, where she's recently explored, saving trout from dried up rivers, and some of the problems facing the world of fly fishing. Yilma and Aldo experience serious internet lag as they call in from Temagami, Ontario. 

The So Fly Crew record on location at Brennan Harbour Resort, located on the banks of Lake Huron's North Shore. The crew featuring Nick (@salmographer on Instagram) discuss their weekend fly fishing with guide Scott for smallmouth bass. The weekend was full of beautiful fish, lots of laugh, and many good times. Special thanks to Algoma Country and Brennan Harbour for having us up. If you're looking for a fantastic weekend fishing smallmouth on the fly, while staying in a very tidy, well put together resort, look no further.

The So Fly Crew hit the road and take the show up north - waaaaay up north to Esnagami Lodge in Northern Ontario. Almost exactly a year prior, the crew found themselves fishing the waters of Esnagami Lake for the first time. They returned to fish once more, explore the favourite spots, and of course see some kind, familiar faces. This episode was recorded in cabin 3, live on location after a week of catching walleye, pike and brook trout. Thanks again to Eric, Sue, Liam, Rowan and the entire staff at Esnagami Wilderness Lodge. You are very special people. 

We couldn't recommend a trip to Esnagami more. You will catch hundreds of fish (no we are not exaggerating). You will see tons of wildlife. You will have a fantastic, incredible, Northern Ontario experience unlike any other. GO!
