| 6/18/26 | A Good Drift on the Madison River with Alice Owsley | Episode 173 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – June 18, 2026. Thanks to Redd's Flies for supporting the show Our destination is the legendary Madison River, one of Montana's most iconic trout fisheries. Joining me is 27-year guiding veteran, Alice Owsley—owner of Riverside Anglers, West Yellowstone, Montana. The Madison is where big Western water meets technical fishing, where 90 miles of riffles can humble you fast—or reward you with the fish of a lifetime. It's a river shaped by dams but still wild at heart, with everything from controlled, almost spring-creek-like water to long, brawling freestone stretches. Alice is known for doing things differently, reading water and planning her days in ways most anglers miss, and helping people unlock a river that can feel overwhelming at first glance. In this episode: · Why the Madison River remains one of the most legendary trout fisheries in the world · How different sections of the Madison fish like entirely different rivers · The best times of year to fish the Madison and what to expect each season · Understanding the Madison's famous salmon fly hatch and how hatches move through the river system · Walk-and-wade fishing versus floating · Reading water and identifying productive holding lies · The truth about fishing pressure, crowds, and finding solitude on a famous river · Yellowstone National Park, alpine lakes, and avoiding grizzly bears · What Alice learned guiding celebrities, including Henry Winkler · The story behind the biggest brown trout Alice has ever seen landed on a dry fly With host Steve Haigh | Destination Angler Podcast — THE podcast for anglers who travel.

| 1/15/26 | New England's Best Kept Fly Fishing Secret? The Upper Connecticut River | Episode 162 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – January 15, 2026 Our destination is the Upper Connecticut River—a remote tailwater in far northern New Hampshire that delivers outstanding fly fishing with remarkably light pressure. In this episode, I'm joined by veteran guide Bill Bernhardt, a 20-year Orvis-endorsed guide and co-owner of Points North Outfitters in Pittsburg, NH. Bill explains why this system fishes more like a Western tailwater than classic New England water—and why it remains one of the region's true sleepers. We talk trout and landlocked salmon, seasonal strategies, favorite fly patterns, remote ponds, and the miles of public access that make solitude easy to find for anglers willing to explore. Plus, tales of huge Atlantic Salmon, landlocks pushing 30", guiding a blind man, and mistakenly trespassing on Ted Turner's Patagonia paradise. 🎣 Is the Upper Connecticut River New England's best-kept fly fishing secret?

Our destination is the Rangeley region of Maine — home to three world-famous rivers steeped in history and known for giant brook trout: the Rapid, the Kennebago, and the Magalloway. But how are they actually fishing today? And do they still live up to the hype? Joining me is fisheries ecologist and lifelong Mainer Greg LaBonte, owner of Maine Fly Guys.

| 12/18/25 | Confidence on the Upper Delaware River with Joe Demaldaris | Episode 160 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – Dec 18, 2025 Today Our destination is the Upper Delaware River, a legendary tailwater often called the crown jewel of the East. This tailwater system is known for clear, cold water all year long and highly selective wild brown and rainbow trout – a graduate school for fly anglers where precise presentation and light tippets are the rule. Joining me is long time guide, fly shop owner, and Upper Delaware expert, Joe Demalderis, Cross Current Outfitters in Hancock, PA. He's been fishing the Delaware since the 1970's, appeared in many national fishing magazines like Field & Stream, Trout, American Angler, and quoted in fly fishing books like, 50 Best Tailwaters to Fly Fish, and Paul Weamer's Fly Fishing Guide to the Upper Delaware River. We cover important questions like, what are the major hatches and the most effective fly patterns, what's the character of the water from top to bottom, why is a downstream presentation a must along with stories of swimming porcupines, wild trout so selective they even refuse naturals, and some bougie shore lunch ideas.

| 8/11/25 | The Land of Big: Fly Fishing the Upper Columbia River with Kelly Laatsch | Our destination is the massive Upper Columbia River in southeastern British Columbia, with football-field-sized back eddies, hydraulics that'll flip drift boats, and rainbow trout that'll bend your rod like a bonefish. Joining me is veteran guide, Kelly Laatsch, general manager of St. Mary's Angler, Cranbrook, BC, who's spent three decades mastering these waters. Today, Kelly opens his playbook, sharing secrets on fly fishing extreme hydraulics, why a single-fly rigs is a good strategy, and pointers on guiding men vs women. We'll also touch on BC's legendary Elk, St. Mary, and Skookumchuck rivers, plus Argentina's trout paradise. Stick around for a wild story of 400-pound sturgeon—and an unforgettable first date.
