Go like a pro! The title says it all. There are a lot of questions to be answered when it comes to fly fishing travel. What do you pack? How much do you pack? How do you pack your gear? Where do you pack your gear? And the list goes ON! Tune in to this episode where we break it all down for you, Lance gives us his trade secrets and there’s even a secret…"gift" if you listen! SHHH!

In this episode, we delve into the philosophy of fly fishing - from understanding why we fish to examining our mindset when we do. We discuss the duality of man vs. fish, the different types of fly fishers, and the importance of using mindset as a tool to lead to more success on the water. We also pose metaphysical questions about the nature of fishing and the deeper significance of fly fishing and what it reveals about us.

In part 1 of this 2 part series, we dive into the world of competitive fly fishing with special guests Devin Olson and Pat Weiss, members of Fly Fishing Team USA. We discuss the history of the sport, the structure of the competition, and the culture within the team. We also explore the motivation behind their participation in the competition, how they all met, and the role of women in competitive angling. Finally, we provide an inside look into the mechanics of national and international competitions, including enrollment, types of competitors, and the experience of the competitors. This insightful conversation provides a comprehensive overview of competitive fly fishing, from its origins to the present day - ok, thanks for that stale overview AI, but you missed the best part...really funny stories! lol

Before I had a podcast, I wanted to see if I could actually pull this off, so I did a couple pilots. George Daniel was nice enough to co-host with me and we did an episode on Tenkara fishing.  There is a LOT of fishy stuff in here and it's not just Tenkara-based.  Grab your "telescopes" and strap in for this Season 1 PREQUEL!

Before the NATK podcast was a real thing, George Daniel helped me take it from concept to reality by recording 2 pilot episodes. This is the 2nd one.  At the time, we were discussing having a subscription podcast that ran parallel to the regular NATK programming.  This is the pilot of that series.  In this epsiode, George gets deeper on Tenkara rigging, euro nymphing on a tenkara rod, small stream fishing, an unsung hero of the fly fishing industry as well as winter fishing - specifically for steelhead on a euro setup.  There is a lot unpacked in short amount of time! We hope you enjoy!
