    Episode 204 - Oman Fly fishing with Arabian Sport Fishing

    On this episode, we highlight a once in a lifetime experience for host Chris and guest co host Steve Kirkham who both recently returned from an epic trip to Hasik, which is located in Oman. After an epic 30 odd hours of travel, the boys arrived in a whole new world of landscape, culture and wildlife to have an opportunity to catch the rarest Permit in the world, Trachinotus Africanus. Hosted by the legendary Clare Carter (owner of Arabian Sport Fishing) and head guide Wesley Rapson, Chris and Steve were treated to a truly "excellent adventure". On this show, we discuss the travels, Omani culture and the great setup that Arabian Sport Fishing offer... We also talk about a new and emerging way to fish for Africanus Permit that Wes and Clare from ASF are pioneering. There is very little information about this way of fishing for them, so we hope enjoy the show and perhaps get a new way of looking at one of the coveted "Big 4" permit species. Hear us talk about crazy number of Permit and how targeting and feeding tailing fish with crustacean patterns is not only the latest way to fish for them, but the numbers suggest its a way way more effective way to fish for them. If you are in pursuit of the big 4 permit before you die and catching them in a very satisfying way that is synonymous with all other Permit fishing... then this episode is a must.    You can find Arabian Sport Fishing here -  https://www.arabiansportfishing.com/   This show is presented by Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft

    Episode 203 - Our top 5 species to catch on fly

    We have finally caved and done a top 5 species to catch on fly !! This show is chaos.. the old school Intermediate Line banter is alive and well in this one, and we must add this disclaimer right at the start... "Our list is for entertainment purposes only" : ) We want to invite you to comment here on this post to tell us what we missed or where went wrong.. We know your chomping at the bit to do so... this one is a full crowd participation show.  We truly hope you like us bringing back the beef !!   This show presented by - Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Waters and Flats Craft

    Episode 202 - Tom Howe

    Tom Howe, a West Oz Fly Angler, Cocos Island Guide and fly design professor. Look... if you want to hear some over thinking stuff about Saltwater Fly Fishing and fly design.. this show will be audio syrup for your ears. Tom and Chris dissect deep in to fly design, the difference in flats fishing from the East Coast to the West coast and ways to fast track your fishing skills. To be fair there is some talk about Bream on fly, but to balance that out we get a Cocos Island Guide to weigh in on "Do Bumpies Eat", the answer may shock you. We also talk about the IGFA record Trigger fish and Bonefish that was caught under Tom's guiding, and what its like progressing as a newbie during this modern time of social media influence. So so much,  a real smorgasbord of food for thought. This is one we have been looking forward to for a long time.    This show presented by - Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft.

    Episode 201 - Master Your Fly Selection

    On this episode, the boys break down fly selection and how important fly selection is for levelling up from an average angler to a successful angler. We talk about everything from Permit to Trout, Murray Cod to Flathead... You may not even realise its impacting your fishing.. but a careful pragmatic approach to fly selection is sometimes what sets successful anglers apart from average or poor results anglers. Its been a while since we have done an episode that's designed to elevate your angling.. we are officially making fly fishing Podcasts great again... well ours anyway.    This show presented by - Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft

A cool story of massive Peacock Bass, Arapaima and various other ooglies and he's (Josh) the only one who speaks English. What an adventure !!

    Episode 199 - How to DIY import a skiff

    We are back folks... we had a break and we address that first up in the show. That leads us to the crux of the episode. Importing a boat from another country to Australia can be a daunting task. The topic alone brings up a stack of opinions from those that have either never done it or have their own reason for doing it a certain way. On this episode we talk about doing it yourself and we also quote the actual costs of doing it as recently as this year.  We also talk about trolling motors and the advantages of dealing with a pro like Troy from Minn Repairs  This show is presented by Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft

    Episode 198 - Micah Adams by Dave Bradley

    We open up 2025 with our new direction and are honoured to have our friend of the show and host of the Rhum Lines Podcast, the great Dave Bradley interview his good friend and highly accomplished angler Micah Adams. We asked Dave to describe Micah -  Micah Adams is one of Australia’s most published and probably broadcast fishing writers and presenters. If you have him on your boat he’s also an “A” list angler with almost any tackle. His travel destination and species list is also something to aspire to.. With more than 20 years of fishing together these guys have some stories to get through.. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we have.
