Autumn is here—and with it comes some of the best fly fishing of the year. 🍂 In this episode of The Flying Trout Podcast, I dive into why fall is my favorite season on the water:

• How cooler temps bring trout back into prime feeding lanes

• The magic of fall hatches (BWOs, caddis, and midges)

• My go-to fly choices for this time of year

• Challenges like spooky trout, shifting weather, and the spawn

• Strategies to stay successful—and connected—through it all

Fall isn’t just productive, it’s unforgettable. From crisp mornings and foggy rivers to aggressive strikes and golden landscapes, it’s a season where fishing and living feel one and the same.

🎙️ The Flying Trout Podcast – Episode 9
In the Dance of Water and Wind

Fly fishing has always been more than a sport for me—it’s a spiritual experience. In this episode, I share a late August morning in Colorado’s Big Thompson Canyon, where the river, the wind, and the rising fog set the stage for reflection, solitude, and connection with creation.

From lacing up boots in the stillness of dawn to stepping into cold mountain water, this episode captures the dance between water, wind, and the soul of an angler.

Whether you’re a seasoned fly fisher or simply love wild places, join me as we find peace, presence, and meaning on the river’s edge.
