A Tailer Trash Fly Fishing

Conservation Conversation

With Jessy Wayles From One Lagoon

Join the cast of Tailer Trash Fly Fishing for a very informative conversation with Jessy Wayles about a myriad of topics related to conservation and restoration work that is being completed in the Indian River Lagoon.

Jessy works for One Lagoon, our branch of the National Estuary Program. The organization is a sub-agency funded by The Environmental Protection Agency. Their mission is to coordinate activities related to restoration and conservation efforts in and around the entire Indian River Lagoon. Their jurisdiction spans multiple counties and includes our inland estuary from the Tomoka Basin to the north to Stuart at the south end of the IRL.

We learned a lot about the guidelines that are in place for research and the means and methods of how restoration sites are selected and the required monitoring that is part of the grant process.

Additionally we discussed tagging programs for horseshoe crabs, sea grass nurseries that recently received funding as well as clam projects that are expanding.

We hope you'll listen to the podcast in hopes that you'll better understand activities that you may see that are ongoing in our local waters as well as learn how to be involved in a productive and constructive manner beyond social media.

If you have questions for her that were not covered in our chat, feel free to contact her through her email at OneLagoon.com

Opinions on public access river etiquette were discussed based on the following fact set: 2 parking spots 500 yards away from another, how far is it okay to walk down / up? Does it count if he is a Tenkara guy?

Question from listeners asked and answered: “if you could punch anyone in fly fishing who would it be?”

Jason shares his family's darkest time; the death of his uncle, Trooper Johnny Rush Bowman, who was murdered in 1984 on the steps of his Virginia home. And how that tragedy lead to a lifelong passion for fishing.

Travel the world with Jason after he left home and joined the United States Marine Corp until he landed in Colorado where he learned to fly fish.

Episode 88 - For those of you who joined us on an Instagram live from the kitchen in the Tailer Park, you'll know we ate good before starting Episode 88 thanks to Jamieson's aim in the woods of Georgia.

The opening segment features a guest appearance with Will Rice to talk: Season 3 of Down The Path Podcast

From there we dive right into Fly Tithing - take on sharing the wealth and creating good vibes beyond the fly tying vice.

Woven into the conversation are some of the stories from Marcus' guest tier appearance at Old City Fly Shop. We contrast structured events to open tying nights. Ben & Marc both share their preference between “rowdy” fly tying nights and more formal teaching environments.

Larry shares a recent experience at the Park Avenue boat ramp where he received $5 for a couple of flies. (Look for his new IG account coming soon where he'll be selling more amazing custom flies)

Jamieson & Larry detail a recent fishing trip on the Swordspine.

The entire table dives into Duckgate (More like duck hate.)Join us in reviewing the opinions of some of the meanest sums uh bitches on the internet, The Duck Hunting Legal Scholar.

Our universally loved Social Media Review begins with posts that declare outrage over a Tarpon Tournament that has yet to take place.

We offer accolades to Bajio for joining the fight for saving Mosquito Lagoon. We've been critical of their absence in the home waters we share, so we thought it appropriate to acknowledge their move to support Marine Discovery Center and their mission.

Lastly, the East Cape "Drift" is the focus of our cutting edge reporting from the Skiff News Network. Thanks to Kevin Fenn for going on record and sharing a little of the back story and who is helping develop a new drift boat that is sure to send ripples across rivers very soon.

If you can point me in the right direction, I can’t figure out how to get the latest episode to land on the home page…

Join Larry Littrell from Tailer Trash Fly Fishing as he sits down with Tim Williams, the owner and designer behind Razorfish Boats – One of the newest skiff builders in the shallow water game. A unique blend of engineering, planning and a lifelong passion for boats has helped Tim see some early success as his business becomes more well known.

Hear how Tim’s boating experiences lead him to leave a successful position with a nationally knows boat builder and sell everything to move his family and life to Florida to get one step closer to realizing his dream of starting his own boat building legacy.

Tim is a testament to never giving up, always being there and keeping focused on the future.

Grab a cold one, crack it open and have a beer with us as we discuss those things and more.

By the time we’re finished we think you’ll agree, if you’re thinking about getting a skiff, you’ll want to check out Razorfish’s offerings and talk to Tim to learn more about how he approaches skiff building.

The show swings up to East Tennessee to review a fly tying event with Todd Boyer at the Fly Box, Wyatt's float trip, creek hopping with Kyle, breakfast with Greg along with random Grand Theft Auto moments and cow talk...

Ben took part in a Thanksgiving tradition, a Turkey Trot; trust us, its not what you're thinking.
