We’re stoked to share a special episode of The Wild Fly Podcast — this one was recorded halfway through our two-week Australia trip with none other than Brooksy himself. A bit of weather rolled through and kept us off the water, so we posted up on Brooksy’s porch and hit record.

We talked about all things GT and Barrier Reef, how Brooksy got into fishing, what it’s like chasing these fish from the boat with fly rod, and why the Great Barrier Reef might be home to the best fishing in the world. We also got into the origin story of the “Big Horse” nickname, Brent’s questionable travel logistics, and whether or not skipping his cousin’s wedding to catch a GT is justifiable (hint: it definitely was).

This one’s full of laughs, fishy insight, and some behind-the-scenes stories from the trip. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.

We reflect on our most recent project "Hope & High Water," a collaborative film together documenting our weeklong fishing trip through Wyoming.

This past summer, we teamed up with talented filmmakers Will Phelps, as well as, Chase & Aimee Bartee of Tight Loops to document and produce a collaborative film "Hope & High Water."  The film chronicles our quest to find the Yellowstone Cutthroat trout deep in the heart of their native range. After premiering the film to over 500 people in Salt Lake City and Denver, the crew sat down to relive their August trip and explore the inner workings of the film and the logic behind using the "Pay what you think is fair" model.

My buddy  Will Phelps & I spent 4 days fly fishing & living out of his van in Canada this summer. We explored old & new creeks and stumbled on some of the best fishing of the summer. Like any fishing trip, many things did not go as planned and we had our fair share of sketchy events including a massive hail storm while mid-way through our float trip. We dive into the whole trip and share a lot that wasn't covered in the full episodes. Sit back and enjoy!

Brent and I link up with our buddy Steve to take another swing at chasing stoneflies in the west. This trip cam about super last minute but we heard reports of salmon flies so we packed the car up and headed to Idaho. From having my car break down to riverside camping in a thunderstorm, we do a deep dive on the trip and breakdown what went into this crazy couple of days. Enjoy!

Just a few weeks ago, I didn’t even own a bike. But here we were, climbing up an old service road in the middle of nowhere Idaho and I was starting to feel the reality of my inexperience. We were here to fish, but truthfully it was hard to even think about fishing with what was ahead of us. We were deep in bear country with no cell service, no support vehicle, and no option of turning around. It was just us, our bikes, and hopefully everything we needed to survive for the next six days. 

This is the full story of that trip.
