Scott Harkins has spent decades traveling the Rocky Mountains, working with some of fly fishing's best-known brands and exploring rivers across Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. With the Yampa River in his backyard and the Green River and North Platte within reach, he's built a career that keeps him close to some remarkable trout water.
We get into fly fishing around Steamboat Springs, finding lesser-known trout streams, and how drought and changing river conditions have affected fishing across the Rockies. Scott also shares how a chance move to Telluride led to a career representing companies like Winston, Lamson, and Simms.

A peacock bass can follow your fly all the way to the boat, look you straight in the eye, and still decide to eat. Today, we’re heading deep into the Amazon, where placing your fly tight to submerged trees is part of the challenge.
Michael and Kristi Williams from Nomadic Waters join me to discuss peacock bass fly fishing and their operation in Brazil. We cover sight fishing for giant peacocks and handling their first powerful runs, plus payara, arowana, and arapaima that can grow well over 100 pounds.
Michael and Kristi also walk us through the journey into camp, from arriving in Manaus to flying over the jungle in a private charter plane and landing right on the river.

Nushagak River fly fishing is all about targeting wild leopard rainbow trout, working streamers through logjams, and deciding when to commit to a mouse fly. In this episode, we head to Outpost on the Nush with Sawyer Keener to talk about the fishing techniques that make this Alaska fishery so memorable. We get into the early-season salmon smolt run, the importance of fishing tight structure, and how to handle a big trout when it eats a mouse.

Huey Lewis spent decades making music that defined the 1980s, selling millions of records with Huey Lewis and the News and helping bring Back to the Future to life with "The Power of Love." Today, he's spending much of his time on the rivers of Montana and British Columbia, chasing trout and steelhead with a fly rod.
Huey joins us to share how his father's early fishing lessons eventually led to a lifelong passion for fly fishing. We get into his love of dry flies, the 19 steelhead he caught during a recent season, and why watching a steelhead rise to a skated fly is one of his favorite experiences on the water.

Scott Barrus arrived at Spinner Fall in 1998 as a 21-year-old shuttle driver, sleeping behind a couch and fishing every day. A year later, he spent his college tuition money on a drift boat and began his guiding career on the Green River.
Today, I sit down with Scott to explore the 30 miles below Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah. We cover the A, B, and C sections, blue-winged olive hatches in April and May, summer caddis, and cicada fishing that can bring trout looking for your fly.
Scott also shares why he usually fishes a 12-foot leader with 4X tippet, the story behind the Chernobyl Ant, and why seeing trout rise through the Green’s clear water can make you set the hook too soon.

Big trout don’t always give you much room for a back cast. Streamer Spey helps you put a fly beside a logjam, work a tight bank, and reach water that’s tough to cover with a standard overhead cast.
In this fifth episode of Hunting with a Fly, Rick Kustich breaks down his approach to chasing predatory trout with Spey gear. He explains how rod and line choices shape your presentation, which casts suit tight spots, and how to move a streamer to trigger a chase.
From a short feeding window after rain to a trout following your fly into the shallows, Rick shares how to recognize these opportunities and make the most of them.

A trout can take a wet fly and turn before you ever feel the pull. Davy Wotton joins us to explain how a little slack, the right rod position, and a steady lift can help you connect with fish that are easy to miss.
We get into soft hackles, winged wet flies, and how to choose between upstream, across-stream, and downstream presentations. Davy breaks down his leader system and explains why fly spacing, line diameter, and casting pace matter when fishing multiple flies.

Big brown trout don't always feed when conditions look good. Sometimes the best streamer fishing happens when rivers rise, water turns muddy, and other anglers head home. In this short solo episode of Wet Fly Swing, we're revisiting 15 streamer fishing tips from Tommy Lynch, one of the most popular guests from 2022. These tips come from episode 347, where Tommy shared his approach to targeting large brown trout and understanding what makes them chase a fly.
We cover why low, stable barometric pressure matters, how to adjust your retrieve in clear versus muddy water, and why streamer movement can be more important than fly color. You'll hear how Tommy uses short, sharp strips to make streamers swim naturally, adjusts leader lengths for different rivers, and targets aggressive trout in shallow, fast water. We also get into his approach to following fish, missed strikes, and choosing the right fly line for the conditions.
This is a quick breakdown of 15 practical tips you can take to the river on your next streamer trip. Whether you're fishing big tailwaters, smaller trout streams, or high, stained rivers, Tommy's ideas will give you a few things to test. And if you want the full conversation, head back to Wet Fly Swing episode 347 for the complete interview with Tommy Lynch.

We get into retrieves, early red fox tail versions, and the difference between a fly that sinks and one that stays near the surface. Bob also shares the stories behind his Suspender and Furry Foam Crayfish, including why watching a fly fall can matter as much as stripping it back.

The night before we recorded, Ron Walp pulled an old baseball scorebook off his shelf and found my dad’s name inside. That’s where this story of Deschutes River history begins, with a connection that reaches back well beyond our fishing camps.
For Episode 1,000 of the Wet Fly Swing Podcast, we’re joined by an old friend who has spent more than 50 years running the Deschutes. Ron shares stories about playing professional baseball, buying his first jet sled on a teacher’s salary, fishing the river before the dams, and getting to know my dad, Doug Stewart.
We also get into the people who helped protect the lower river, the lesson that changed how Ron hooks steelhead, and the canyon mornings that keep bringing him back to a river that has shaped so much of his life.

The San Juan River gives anglers a chance to work on three very different approaches in one day: streamers, nymphs, and dry flies. John Hunt joins us to talk about why that variety makes this New Mexico tailwater such a useful place to learn.
We get into the water people pass by, including slow, shallow stretches that can hold a big trout. John also explains why a small change in fly depth can make all the difference on a pressured river. Then we head to Mongolia, where the fishing shifts to mouse patterns, large baitfish flies, and the search for taimen.

In this Greatest Hits solo episode, Dave revisits his 2021 conversation with Jeff Liskay and pulls out 11 practical Spey and switch rod tips for Great Lakes steelhead.
Jeff’s system starts with an 11-foot 5-weight switch rod, roughly 330 grains, a short sink tip, a 14- to 18-inch leader, and an unweighted fly. From there, the focus is less on making long casts and more on controlling swing speed, fishing the right water, and keeping the fly in front of cold water steelhead.
Dave breaks down why Jeff fishes higher and dirtier water before the crowds arrive, slows his swing when water temperatures drop into the 30s, and searches the edges before moving toward the middle of the river. You'll also hear why shortening your sink tip can immediately make a struggling Spey cast easier and why presentation matters more than casting across the river.
Jeff also explains why he lets the sink tip control depth instead of adding weight to the fly, why some of his best water is the stuff other anglers walk right through, and when warmer, clearer conditions might even call for skating a dry fly for Great Lakes steelhead.
The episode wraps up with two bigger lessons: separate casting practice from fishing, and don't fish yesterday's water. Migratory fish move, conditions change, and Jeff would rather keep searching new water than become attached to the spot that produced the day before.
If you're getting ready for Great Lakes steelhead season or want to make your switch rod setup simpler this episode gives you 11 tips you can take straight to the river.

Domenick Swentosky of Troutbitten joins us for one of the most-downloaded Wet Fly Swing episodes of 2020. Dom breaks down a different way to approach streamer fishing, one that borrows heavily from tight-line nymphing. Instead of relying on huge flies and aggressive retrieves, he explains why smaller streamers, precise presentations, and direct contact can be so effective for trout.
We get into Dom's Mono Rig streamer setup, including why he likes a 20-pound Maxima Chameleon butt section, a 10-foot 4-weight, and a two-streamer system that helps him track what's happening below the surface. He also explains how he uses his sighter to judge depth, why he targets small pieces of water around rocks, wood, and banks, and why anglers may be stripping their streamer away from the best holding water too quickly.
Dom also shares one of the most interesting concepts from the episode: streamer head position. You'll hear how he gets his fly facing down and across, why he wants to keep it near structure, and how his “slow slide” presentation gives trout an easier opportunity to eat. If you want to bring more control and precision to your streamer game, this episode gives you a different way to fish them.

Nearly 90 years after Grand Coulee Dam cut these fish off from the ocean, Steven Bird still fishes Upper Columbia rainbows that act a whole lot like steelhead. Today, we’re getting into Trout Spey, wet flies, reading water, and the history behind this unique fishery.
Steven is the author of Trout Spey and the Art of the Swing and associate editor at Swing the Fly. He shares what he’s learned from decades on the Upper Columbia, along with swinging soft hackles, fishing small spiders, and finding good swing water.
We also cover dead-drifting Bombers, leader setups, the Leisenring Lift, and what has changed on Steven’s home water over the years.
