In this one we are tackling the ever present secret sauce of upping your fly fishing chops: INSECT EDUCATION. Lance and Pablo have organized this 2-part series in a way that should give you the pertinent information necessary to allow for easy brain stowage and quick real-world results! Straight killa, no filla folks! Let's dig in the dirt, turn over some river rocks and bug out!

Phil Rowley joins us to break down stillwater fishing for the river angler. We talk about how to find fish, choose flies, and start understanding lakes in a way that feels familiar if you come from moving water. Lance is back in town, Pab is back in town, the whole crew is together, and as always, we wander into a few solid tangents along the way.

The NATK Journal Series highlights the lessons learned — and the behind-the-scenes fun — from our travels. In this episode, we take you to Northeastern Argentina to chase golden dorado with the Zylstra brothers. What followed was a magical mix of learning, laughter, and brotherhood — all while living out of a raucous 4x4 built for extended overlanding.
