61: Jack Dennis - Part 1 - The Tres Amigos icon that taught Hollywood and World Dignitaries how to fly fish

Next up on the ‘Trout Stalker’ series is a topic I adore dearly. The “British Invasion” and their iconic contributions to fly fishing for trout has come in 4 waves. First,  it was the genesis and invention of the sport in Hertfordshire in 1496 with Dame Juliana and Walton with the “ A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle” Then it was the foundation of modern fly fishing on the Hampshire/ Wiltshire chalk streams with Marryat, Halford, Skues and Sawyer. The modern era saw the introspective works of Goddard ( Goddard Caddis fame) and Clarke with the epic work “ The Trout and the Fly”. But this 4 wave is perhaps the most groundbreaking and introspective of them all. Today, authors/  anglers and trout behaviorists:  Peter Hayes and Don Stazicker, with their underwater cameras and introspective, highly empirical prose, have invaded a trout’s aquatic dining room and gives us a confirmation of what the American masters have learned about trout feeding behavior. Their new book: “ The Flies that Trout Prefer” is a modern masterpiece and a must for every trout angler. It probes the world of meniscus chaos:  ‘junk flies/ shucks’ and how still borns/ cripples ( casualties) emergers, and why some of the most unruly and awkward flies appeal to a trout’s fancy rather than the most perfectly tied ones. No serious fly angler can miss this podcast and not have this book !Do you enjoy the show? Please take a moment to like and leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Trout Stalker Series Part 1It is one of the most iconic waters of modern American Fly Fishing history. The Letort is the American chalk stream/ limestone spring creek equivalent to the River’s Test and Itchen in England. In the Cumberland Valley it was Marinaro, Fox, Shenk, Koch and so many other Letort Regulars that created a legacy of terrestrials, dry fly matching the hatch , minutiae, stream conservation work - the innovations are endless. Most importantly it’s about a wild Loch Leven strain brown that has endured one chemical spill after another for decades. The lady flows through a growing urban sprawl, strip malls and housing projects, gets her ground water sucked out of it, and yet it’s very resilient and migratory browns have developed a life survival strategy to combat all the hardships thrown at it including climate change. Join guest river keeper and guide: Neil Sunday, and host Matt Supinski as they discuss in part 1 its history dating back to the French and Indian war, its watershed from head to tail and beyond; and it’s modern legacy. The main point of the podcast is conservation and how to protect the Letort and get it more friends. Part II is about the unique wild strain browns, becoming the ultimate stalker in the hunt for Mr. Bigs- then hatches, tactics, flies , tackle for spring creeks etc … don’t miss this one!Do you enjoy the show?

Chasing Chrome Series - Part 5I have  guided and fished Great Lakes summer steelhead now for almost 36 years. Between my brief hotel career stints on the West Coast and Indiana, I have written and explored more about our Great Lakes Summer Skamania steelhead than perhaps no one else. Looking for answers and the history of Washington State’s iconic Washougal River’s Skamania strain fish’s introduction into Lake Michigan by Indiana, brought me to one of the finest books ever written on those fish: Dry Line Steelhead by Bill McMillan. Join me and my guest John: Bill’s  son, as we discuss John’s epic steelhead conservation work and fighting for the plight of the most beautiful migratory salmonid fish that swims- Washington State’s Washougal steelhead. John is President of the West Coast based Conservation Angler group. We discuss his dad and the fishing legacy of dry line steelheading today- don’t miss this one!Do you enjoy the show? Please take a moment to like and leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
