Episode 143 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – May 8, 2025

Our destination is SW Montana and Yellowstone country veteran outfitter and dry fly aficionado, Walter Wiese, Yellowstone Country Fly Fishing, Livingston, Montana. We explore the aftermath of the massive 2022 flood and how it's changed—or not—some of the most iconic rivers in the West, like the Yellowstone, Lamar, and Slough Creek, the Madison, Gallatin, and more. Which ones bounced back? Which ones are still healing? And what can you expect if you go? Along the way, he shares dry fly wisdom, his own go-to patterns, and hot tips on indicator fishing. Plus, stories of salmon fly eating grizzlies, swimming buffalos, and a client you can't believe.

With host, Steve Haigh
