This episode I bring back the Pump your Tyers feature, and introduce you to the man who brought the Jungle Junkie to life...Umpqua Signature Tyer, Steve Maldonado. And for our interview this month I sit down with Umpqua Signature Tyer Phil Iwnae, and this is not one to miss, as Phil goes into his nymphing setup as well as design approach.
Episode two has the debut of "Bug Ben", a fisheries Biologist whom I will call and bug for stream/fish advice...always fun Bugging Ben! I sit down with Russ Miller of Umpqua Feather Merchants and dive deep into early fly design stories; and we discuss fly selection and muted clothing while chasing carp.
In Episode one, we Pump our Tyers, we chat about what you need to chase carp on the fly, we sip a fine rye whiskey, and we find out what an Ivan Orsic Joint is!
