In this kickoff episode, your hosts, Kyle Ale and Zack Vanderslice, sit down to share fishing experiences that shaped their love for chasing trout. We start by looking back at our roots—those early days of spin fishing as kids—and trace the path that eventually led us to the fly rod.

Throughout the conversation, we explore how our techniques, approaches, and perspectives have evolved over time, from targeting trout to developing a passion for chasing steelhead on the fly.

Whether you’re new to fly fishing or a seasoned angler, this episode offers a glimpse into the journey of two lifelong fishermen who want to share their time spent on the water.
