The Articulate Fly

Hey, folks, it’s Marvin Cash the host of The Articulate Fly.

I am super stoked to share a new podcast that is going to launch soon - The Butcher Shop.

We are going to have raw conversations with master angler tiers who craft and fish the deadliest streamers in the game. From OGs like Blane Chocklett, Russ Maddin and Tommy Lynch to up and coming young guys, we are going to talk to them all.

Each episode will dissects signature patterns and complete systems for hunting trophy brown trout, musky, pike and bass. No recipes - just proven tactics from predator specialists who consistently deliver the goods.

And, a shout out to Logjam Dave for an awesome logo design! Check out more of his handiwork on Instagram.
