65: The Southern Trout Stalker I - Colby Trow/ Virginia/ Mossy Creek Sep 16, 2025

I fell in love with Mossy Creek : a true limestone spring creek in the style of the hallowed Letort, back in my Washington D.C. hotel days. It’s the Shenandoah section of the limestone rich Cumberland Valley that goes down the Amish country/ Lee Highway Rte.11. As it runs down from Mt Solon in the Alleghenies , Mossy and its selective browns and stunningly colored rainbows sip bwo’s, sulphers, slash terrestrials and maul sculpins year-round. It’s the closest thing to a big sky Montana/ Idaho/ Wyoming vista and experience you will witness east of the Mississippi.

Couple the other spring creeks he has there with all the Blue Ridge / Allegheny Mountain indigenous brook trout streams with classic mayfly hatches that number in the in the hundreds, and you have hidden gems that ooze beauty. Couple those with great trout tailwaters, and the amazing bass fishing of the Shenandoah and James, and you have truly one of the greatest fly fishing states in the country! I cannot speak more superlatives about what my very good friend Colby has to offer at Mossy Creek Fly Fishing in Harrisonburg. His boutique fly shop is a true Civil War period historical monument and must be seen. Plus, he will show you bass that embody all I have written about in selectivity.

64: The Millennial Trout Stalker - Nick Sage - Paying Your Dues Still Exists Aug 18, 2025

We have had many older, distinguished gentlemen and young passionate ladies.

Countless Distinguished authors, iconic modern living legends that have paved the way of our fly fishing knowledge.

The Brits, The Scottish, Irish, Norwegians, Icelanders, Canadians and our American ground- zero roots. Tons of knowledge bombs have come across our airwaves if you go back and listen and learn.

But now this young gent : an ER Nurse, approached me and I listened and liked.

He believes in time on the water and having a plan with a purpose- to learn, improve and be open- minded.

And for a young age, he sees the whole spectrum- may I present Nick Sage. Millennials are the new future icons of our passion.

63: Chasing Dame Juliana - Lucinda Ewin. A U.K.’s Lady’s Passion for Salmon and Trout [Trout Stalker Series] Jul 29, 2025

In the U.K., fly fishing has always been a proper gentleman’s game. Women were sort of looked down on at the elite chalk stream clubs and beats.

Lucinda Ewin is a real, passionate, sincere and simply fabulous fly angler in love with Atlantic salmon, sea trout, and brown trout. She is paying her dues which is something so rare in today’s agenda filled, social media twisted ‘same old’ monotony. Sometimes the more knowledge and wisdom we accrue the more we think we must prove a point. We so quickly forget that at one time we are all beginners/hacks/ and most of us still are in the bigger picture of it all. Lucinda is the breath of fresh air of someone loving what she does as a fly tackle rep, being a mother, traveling and photographing her journey. She still has that spark and passion while studying the Spey cast, understanding brown trout, hatches and how amazing sea trout are - all my Nexus book loves. I couldn’t wait for this podcast to be aired…enjoy the passion that is Lucinda

Notes….. let her rip!!!!

62: Selective Trout - A British Perspective- Peter Hayes/ Don Stazicker. Their Book: “The Flies that Trout Prefer” Jul 05, 2025

Next up on the ‘Trout Stalker’ series is a topic I adore dearly. The “British Invasion” and their iconic contributions to fly fishing for trout has come in 4 waves. First, it was the genesis and invention of the sport in Hertfordshire in 1496 with Dame Juliana and Walton with the “ A Treatyse of Fysshynge wyth an Angle” Then it was the foundation of modern fly fishing on the Hampshire/ Wiltshire chalk streams with Marryat, Halford, Skues and Sawyer. The modern era saw the introspective works of Goddard ( Goddard Caddis fame) and Clarke with the epic work “ The Trout and the Fly”. But this 4 wave is perhaps the most groundbreaking and introspective of them all. Today, authors/ anglers and trout behaviorists: Peter Hayes and Don Stazicker, with their underwater cameras and introspective, highly empirical prose, have invaded a trout’s aquatic dining room and gives us a confirmation of what the American masters have learned about trout feeding behavior. Their new book: “ The Flies that Trout Prefer” is a modern masterpiece and a must for every trout angler. It probes the world of meniscus chaos: ‘junk flies/ shucks’ and how still borns/ cripples ( casualties) emergers, and why some of the most unruly and awkward flies appeal to a trout’s fancy rather than the most perfectly tied ones. No serious fly angler can miss this podcast and not have this book !

58: The Letort Spring Run Legacy - Neil Sunday [Part 1] Apr 07, 2025

Trout Stalker Series Part 1

It is one of the most iconic waters of modern American Fly Fishing history. The Letort is the American chalk stream/ limestone spring creek equivalent to the River’s Test and Itchen in England. In the Cumberland Valley it was Marinaro, Fox, Shenk, Koch and so many other Letort Regulars that created a legacy of terrestrials, dry fly matching the hatch , minutiae, stream conservation work - the innovations are endless. Most importantly it’s about a wild Loch Leven strain brown that has endured one chemical spill after another for decades. The lady flows through a growing urban sprawl, strip malls and housing projects, gets her ground water sucked out of it, and yet it’s very resilient and migratory browns have developed a life survival strategy to combat all the hardships thrown at it including climate change.

Join guest river keeper and guide: Neil Sunday, and host Matt Supinski as they discuss in part 1 its history dating back to the French and Indian war, its watershed from head to tail and beyond; and it’s modern legacy. The main point of the podcast is conservation and how to protect the Letort and get it more friends. Part II is about the unique wild strain browns, becoming the ultimate stalker in the hunt for Mr. Bigs- then hatches, tactics, flies , tackle for spring creeks etc … don’t miss this one!

57: Steelhead Conservancy - John McMillan - The Dry Line Summer Steelheading Legacy Feb 28, 2025

Chasing Chrome Series - Part 5

I have guided and fished Great Lakes summer steelhead now for almost 36 years. Between my brief hotel career stints on the West Coast and Indiana, I have written and explored more about our Great Lakes Summer Skamania steelhead than perhaps no one else. Looking for answers and the history of Washington State’s iconic Washougal River’s Skamania strain fish’s introduction into Lake Michigan by Indiana, brought me to one of the finest books ever written on those fish: Dry Line Steelhead by Bill McMillan. Join me and my guest John: Bill’s son, as we discuss John’s epic steelhead conservation work and fighting for the plight of the most beautiful migratory salmonid fish that swims- Washington State’s Washougal steelhead. John is President of the West Coast based Conservation Angler group. We discuss his dad and the fishing legacy of dry line steelheading today- don’t miss this one!

52: Norway - Giant Salmon and Brown Trout of the Vikings. Guest: Simen Strømhylden - Part 4: Atlantic Salmon on the Run Sep 10, 2024

Norway - the Land of the Midnight Sun, has a breathtaking and unparalleled Nordic magnetism- a raw beauty that no other country on the planet can boast. Its unbelievably stunning fjords, and soaring and austere snow capped mountains, garnish some of the most majestic rivers on earth.These harbor some of the planet’s incredibly large Atlantic salmon to be found- up to 90 pounds have been recorded, along with sea trout, brown trout and mayfly/ stonefly hatches once in the greatest quantities imaginable. But it is in these rivers- the playground of all of Europe, that our beloved salmon could have been loved to death.From the thousands of salmon fish farms feeding the insatiable appetite of the world for Omega -3 ‘s and the health benefits of salmon, have come the spread of disease, and pollution of wild genetics by escaped salmon breeding with wild ones , Add the decades of killing of big brood stock salmon by anglers, and climate change’s ugly head, could our magnificent salmon of the Viking gods met their tragedy- or Viking Ragnarök? With the river closures implemented this summer, more is needed to protect these magnificent beasts from decimation. We raise a skål to you in helping us educate and love these truly magnificent creatures.

51: Scotland- Series: Atlantic Salmon On The Run- Part 3- The Rivers and Salmon of the Kings and Queens- Guest Ghillie: Robert Harper Aug 27, 2024

Broadcasting from the River Dee, of Scotland I can only speak superlatives:

” It is a stark and austere landscape of unparalleled magnetism and raw beauty- everything about this once called Caledonia breathes the free spirited Scottish will to survive. It is a badge of courage and tartan plaid not common in todays’s timid and dwarfed world. From the rugged highland mountains and winds that sweep through the moors and glens of the north country; to the lowland agricultural and industrial plains, the Scottish people ooze a charm and strong willed working class vibe, which shines though their rough to understand brogues and unwillingness to be conquered. From the last dividing line of the Roman conquest and Hadrian's Wal, the spirit we have seen in Braveheart of staving off the British- in it all shows the spirt of Scotland. But it is in the rivers and its salmon- the playgrounds of the Royalty like Balmoral on the River Dee- the river beats of Robert Harper’s landlords and noble heritage, shines on , despite dwindling numbers of returning salmon. Long live Scotland!

49: Atlantic Salmon on the Run Series - Gaspe Quebec/CA - David Bishop - Episode 1 Jul 15, 2024

Our fascination and allure with Salmon salar dates back to Neanderthal man and ancient Roman civilization. It is truly the fish of kings and queens, and rivers that run through regal estates, and vast wilderness areas in the north like Labrador, Arctic Russia and Scandinavia . Why I am so grateful we have a thriving Atlantic salmon fishery in Michigan. But to the gastronomic world , it could be one of the most cherished dishes we have ever come to love to death . However, to the fly fisher, it is by far the most sporting, most savagely beautiful, and beguiling fish that will rise to take the fly. Its relationship to the highly sought after brown trout makes Atlantic salmon the king of all bucket list game fish

Though many Atlantic salmon fisheries are experiencing hardships in the world due to the effects of over-harvesting, commercial fish farms and the extremes of climate change, the Gaspe of Quebec’s rivers and wild Atlantic salmon are thriving very well, thanks to forward thinking and tight ecological management.

David Bishop is one of the top Atlantic salmon guides on the planet- bar none! And together with host Matthew Supinski , they bring you the secret world of diving into the fish’s mind and spirit, tactics and flies, and current world challenges facing the courageous Salmo salar and its verve to survive- don’t miss this one!

46: Matching the Hatch Series - Part 5 - The Majestic Bighorn - Guest Author/Guide; Steve Galetta May 15, 2024

Every time I go to this river and see the stark plains, rolling hills and buttes, I can only think of the bad day at the office General Custer had, wishing he never got on his horse that June day as his troops were rightly so demolished by the proud natives. As opposed to Custer on the other hand, those German brown trout settlers to the new world that swam up the Big Horn from the Yellowstone; or were haphazardly stocked by a settler’s milk canister, were on the road to a trutta Mecca. Once they felt the Bighorn’s cold waters and tasted the amazingly fertile food-rich fauna, they established one of the finest brown trout dynasties on the planet. Bighorn book author/ guide, and former Buffalonian: Steve Galetta, discusses the nuances, hatches, terrestrials and tactics needed to fool its bigger browns and rainbows that swim in these vast Montana/Wyoming American trout waters-don’t miss this one!

42: Matching the Hatch - Part 1 - The Rite of Spring - Guest: John Miller Mar 16, 2024

A Guide’s Perspective: Iconic Guest: John G Miller –The East Coast Early Season Tactics and Flies

We start off the ‘Matching the Hatch’ multi-episode/ docu-series with this bug-crazed iconic Catskill guide- ( John will have a two-part session) This undisputed “bug doctor”: Johnny Miller, has forgotten more about insects and hatches in a week than most people will learn in a lifetime.

41: Atlantic Salmon Federation's CEO Bill Taylor - The Plight of Atlantic Salmon - Civilizations Founding Fish Feb 01, 2024

There has never been a fish on earth that we humans haven’t been fascinated with and simply loved to death. The Romans on their conquest of Europe and the British Isles saw them leaping tall waterfalls and named them “salar”- the leaper . Gaulish Aquitania clans and tribes swore allegiance to the god Salmo rather than to Caesar, and thus perished by the sword . Early cave dwelling Neanderthals drew etchings of salmon at the caves of Lascaux in France near the River Vézère . When cave dwellers needed food for winter , salmon ran up rivers by the thousands all the way up to the Alps and throughout Europe. First Nations Indigenous peoples relied on the runs of salmon in North America /Greenland-and northern Europe. Royalty built castles and large land holdings on Atlantic salmon rivers, which are heavily controlled and coveted even to this day- the royal’s Balmoral estate in Scotland is one such example. Salmon traded equally with gold in Rome during the empire and their wealth as a commodity today is immeasurable to populations and communities around the globe, from the Canadian Maritimes to Iceland/ Scotland/Norway/ Russia . Today, , besides being one of the most highly sought after game fish for fly fishers and commercial fisherman alike, their gastronomical delights appeal to palates and chefs that crave them for their delicious flesh-omega 3 for heart health benefits/Keto diets. But can this insatiable consumption be sustained by what is left in the oceans? Each time you order salmon in the restaurants you are part of the problem; and also part of the solution to saving them, and hopefully putting an end to disease filled farm raised salmon. Nevertheless , they are being driven to endangerment and extinction in some ecosystems. DO YOU ENJOY THE SHOW? PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO LIKE AND REVIEW US ON APPLE AND SPOTIFY!

40: George Daniel - The Dynamics of Euro Nymphing”- Reading Water/ Tactics/ Presentation Jan 15, 2024

Progressing in the series from the start of G.E.M. Skues’s passion with the sunken fly, and Sawyer’s effective tight-line maneuvering of his pheasant tail nymphs to sight-fished chalk stream brown trout, regardless of how heretical they were perceived by the dry fly purists, their movements gained extreme momentum because they caught trout - and lots of them! The benthic and mid-strata fly game accounts for the largest pursued sector of our fly dangling sport. Now, the competition born Euro nymphing craze has fueled nymphing into overdrive because it is so effective. Along with fishing traditional soft-hackle and classic wets, more trout are caught and seduced in this venue than any other. In this episode, author and teacher: George Daniel , along with host Supinski , discuss the concepts and origins of the Euro game and discuss misconceptions and critical questions about this very mechanical but effective technique taking North America by storm, which many traditional fly anglers are not fond of.

38: “ Part 3- The Modern Nymphing Foundation”- Guest: England’s Terry Lawton- The British Chalk Stream / NetherAvon School of Sawyer/ Kite/ Skues Dec 22, 2023

Series: Below the Meniscus”- The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies – A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcasts

Sawyer sums up chalk stream nymphing it up in the traditional fashion: “Nymph fishing, if you are to be successful, is indeed a matter of being careful. It is not just the business of throwing a nymph at all the likely places and hoping the fish will take it. You turn yourself into a hunter and, with all the keenness of a stalker after a stag, figure wits and your eyesight against the facilities and faculties of the wild fish who are on the feed and continually on the lookout for nymphs moving in the water or below”. (NYMPHS AND THE TROUT-FRANK SAWYER)

37: "Below the Meniscus”- Part II- The Wet Fly Tactical Technician- Guest: Davy Wotton -Series: The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies Nov 01, 2023

In this brilliant conversion, we analyze and delve deep into every aspect of the tactical presentations that the wet fly can bring today dating back centuries to its humble beginnings. From dead upstream to upstream-and-across, and then to down-and-across wet fly swinging, to finally downstream dead drift presentations in the old school Greased Line and Patent methods, we discuss all the ways the wet fly can stir the aggressive chase and imitative feeding responses. Trout fishing along with swinging wets for Atlantic salmon and steelhead take center stage as guest Davy Wotton and podcast host Matthew Supinski go where no other podcast has gone before to jazz up and put back the glory in a subsurface technique that has lost its appeal to many trout anglers due to the popularity of the nymph- enjoy!

A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcast

“Below the Meniscus”- The Evolution and Art of Fly Fishing Below the Surface with Nymphs and Wet Flies – A Five Part Series on Hallowed Waters Podcast

From its Roman Empire era origins in Macedonia with the Red Fly, and early beginnings with Dame Juliana and her “Treatise” dangling her beautifully concocted flies to fool trout and Atlantic salmon on the River Ver spring creek at her St Alban’s Sopwell Nunnery, is how fly fishing had its humble beginnings. But it was with the modern foundations of Ronalds, Skues, Sawyer, and Cutcliffe in England, on the hallowed chalk streams of the Rivers Itchen and Avon; and North Country, Wales and Dartmoor small freestone rivers, that the nymph and wet fly had their evolution. Thus the going below the meniscus art form has now become the most lethal way of taking trout worldwide with the onset of Euro Nymphing. Three accomplished guest figures of these genres: ex- pat Davy Wotton, George Daniel, and one of England’s iconic chalk stream fly fishing authors, Terry Lawton, along with Hallowed Waters Podcast host and author: Matthew Supinski, discuss the evolutionary magnitude, science, artistic beauty, techniques and gear, fly designs, but often questionable approaches with Euro and competitive fishing, that impacts the trout and fly fisher with these highly effective tactics. The final episode discusses the impact on the angler and how it has transformed them from a fly shop and consumer’s perspective, with a highly skilled Euro nympher and fly shop guru guest: Torrey Collins.

35: A Youthful Passion for Fly Fishing - Guest: Tiki Furimsky Sep 15, 2023

The greatest memories of my life were learning to trout and salmon fish on small streams with my Dad and Uncle in the Southern Tier of New York and Poland. So many of us as boys and girls, whose passion for the fish still blazes uncontrollably today, rekindle those very fond memories daily in our dreams of that youthful innocence and pure fascination for everything and anything fishing- those days when we couldn't get enough! As we grow more competent and accomplished in our fly fishing, we often too soon forget about those wonderful days of youthful exploration, hunger and enthusiasm for wanting to learn and grasp every aspect of the fly fishing for trout and salmon passion. My young guest from Colorado: Tiki Furimsky, embodies that passion for fishing and nature, which is one of the most beautiful things on God's given earth. In my days, youth were meant to be seen and not heard from. We had to acquire our knowledge by paying our hard luck dues and constantly probing in books at the library; or bugging elders to give us information. Today with social media, Internet videos, having encouraging family mentors, and hopefully this podcast, the future can never be brighter for youth in fishing. Here, we can celebrate the verve and pure excitement that a young man like Tiki brings, which joyfully allows us to reflect on our own journeys'- Amen Tiki!

25: The Age of Hype, Elitism, Commercialism, Politics, Social Media, Narcissism, Woke in Fly Fishing with Kirk Deeter Feb 03, 2023

Whew!... the microphones are still smoking after this one! Sometimes some things just go to the breaking point in an age where cynicism, political correctness and fear to speak your opinions overshadow the true essence of the simple beauty and joy of fly fishing for trout and salmon. Hallowed Waters host Matthew Supinski and guest Kirk Deeter: book author and editor of Trout Unlimited’s TROUT Magazine, are not afraid to push the needle and speak the reality of these issues that now, unfortunately, spill into the quiet and soothing sport of fly fishing. Bottom line: when is enough is enough, and where do you fit in? They discuss all the controversial elements that we now bring to the trout, salmon, and steelhead rivers. Elitism, vanity, and fish pictures/hero shots, obsessions with social media, the influx of river guides and who and what they are, the numbers game: bigger, better, faster, more now! Euro/competitive fishing, respecting home waters vs. destinations, marginal trout streams and rethinking our established paradigms, disruptive individuals and their contributions to making a difference, paying your dues as an angler, books and their importance, laws, and regulations to micro-manage each river system as riverkeepers, searching for Utopia, climate change, indigenous species nativism and which fish belong or don’t belong, foraging for food by a stream, love of brown trout and all wild trout and salmon that still luckily swim…All this in the quest to make you rethink your game and be all about the fish!

21: Poor Man’s Atlantic Salmon - The Great Lakes and Inland Salmo Salar. Guest: Fran Verdoliva Oct 05, 2022

There is no doubt that Atlantic salmon are the fish of kings and queens, castle estates, royalty and the jet setting wealthy. But author of "The Brown Trout-Atlantic Salmon Nexus" and podcast host: Matthew Supinski, calls them "civilization's founding fish",and an amazing game fish of evolutionary creation that all anglers; rich or poor, should have access to no matter where in the world they are found. With Michigan’s amazing Atlantic salmon evolution, along with the continued effort of Lake Ontario and the salmon river of New York and Ontario's indigenous lake dwelling Atlantic salmon legacy restoration, Atlantic salmon are a much sought after game fish that take a swung spey fly; and will attack a floating dry fly bomber with the beauty and elegance of a brown trout sipping mayflies. With the highly informed guest, Atlantic salmon expert and former NYSDEC salmon river coordinator: aka "Prince of Pulaski":Fran Verdoliva, Supinski and Verdoliva dive deep into the amazing world of what is, what should and what could be if Atlantic salmon programs were expanded and nurtured. With natural reproduction of Atlantic salmon and hybridization of brown trout and Atlantics documented on the Salmon River, Credit River in Ontario and Lake Huron, and anglers from poor communities in cities like Detroit catching chrome Atlantics along the Detroit river shorelines, the future is bright for these amazing adaptable and forage base diversified predators if given a chance. Also discussed are the Landlocked Salmon of New England and the Finger Lakes of New York, along with lake and sea run brown trout, that all make up the "Poor Man's Atlantic"...don't miss this one! #greatlakesatlanticsalmon #salmosalar #atlanticsalmon #landlockedatlanticsalmon #poormansatlanticsalmon #browntrout #seatrout #lakerunbrowntrout #newenglandlandlockedatlanticsalmon #quebecatlanticsalmon #labradoratlanticsalmon #gaspeatlanticsalmon #lakechamplain #lakegeorge #maineatlanticsalmon #mainelandlockedatlanticsalmon #magallowayriver #rapidriver #salmonriver #creditriverontario #oakorchardbrowntrout #sandycreeks #blackrivernewyork #nysdec #altmarhatchery #pulskinewyork #newyorkstate #greatlakeskingsalmon #greatlakespacificsalmon #michiganatlanticsalmon #lakesuperiorstateuniversity #saultstemarie #saultedisonplant #lssuaquaticlab #platteriverhatchery #stmarysriveratlanticsalmon #stmarysrapids #rogergreil #heatherhettinger #franverdoliv #franverdoliva #matthewsupinski #hallowedwatersjournal #hallowedwaterspodcast #thebrowntroutatlanticsalmonnexus #lakeontario #lakeontarioatlanticsalmonrestoration #ontarioministryoffisheries

20: THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TROUT - THE PRACTICAL AND PRAGMATIC ROSENBAUER APPROACH - SMALL STREAM TROUT FISHING TO HATCH MATCHING STRATEGIES Sep 15, 2022

Don't miss this podcast!...The great Charlie Fox wrote an amazing book on this wonderful world of trout worship. My guest on this special troutbum troubadour episode is an iconic man that’s name and brand he represents is synonymous with fly fishing world wide. His talents and approach have been exemplary and he has been an iconic fly fishing sensei master for decades. His ground breaking Orvis helmsman ship of creativity, design and making fly fishing has been a mainstream part of the modern outdoor experience for the fine connoisseur of country sporting gentleman and lady that Orvis has been a hallmark of excellence and quality for over a century. But more importantly he has been a breath of fresh air to the novice that needs nurturing. With his amazing and prolific book authorships he has thought countless thousands of novices and experts the finer details of fly fishing for trout in every venue. But I have always been envying his practical pragmatic approach...whereas my dreamy, theoretical, anthropomorphisms and mind twisting selectivity romanticism to fly fishing is a perfect opposite and compliment to this wonderful world of trout that demands both simplicity yet precision in presentation, along with fly pattern exactness to fool big trout that can be very fussy. So without further adieux…I am honored to present the living Bergman and Brooks reincarnate that typifies a treatise of a troutbum, he is the pragmatic prophet that makes the conundrum of fly fishing easy to comprehend for a novices' nexus to becoming a master….he has done to fly fishing to introduce and make it exciting and fun as did fellow Vermontonians Ben and Jerry’s did to vanilla ice cream, and Bernie Sanders did to get millennials to be passionate about something again….all in the honor of the Fedora Flea Flicking Troutbum…the one and only “all hat and all cowboy”- which is rare…the most prolific fly fishing author that ever graced this wonderful world of trout- Rosenbauer himself. #orvisflyfishing #tomrosenbauer #smalltroutstreams #newyorkstatetroutstreams #hatchmatchingstrategies #orvisflyfishingbooks #orvispodcast #selectivitytrout #catskillflyfishing #mayflies #caddisflies # stoneflies #dryfly #euronymphing #streamers #browntroutatlanticsalmonnexus #matthewsupinski #hallowedwatersjournal #hallowedwaterspodcast

19: The Genesis and Evolution of Terrestrials-The Pennsylvania Limestone Spring Creek Legacy with Tommy Baltz Aug 16, 2022

Perfect timing for the terrestrial fly fishing days of August, I am pleased to introduce Pennsylvania’s living iconic legend…A dean of the Cumberland Valley “Limestone Alley” of selectivity’s snooty trout sanctity. He is a limestone spring creek guru that lives in the shadows and legacy of Marinaro, Shenk, Fox and Koch. Hallowed Waters host Matthew Supinski teams up with Orvis fly fishing guide and world-renowned fly tying guest Tommy Baltz as they discuss in-depth the hallowed waters of the Letort, Big Spring, Falling Spring and Yellow Breeches and their selective trout imprint on the Pennsylvania limestone spring creek legends and their contribution to modern American terrestrial fly fishing. Fly pattern designs and dynamics like the Letort Hopper and Crickets, beetles, ants, Jassids, cicadas and so much more are focused on! I have known Tommy since my Washington D.C. hotelier days having fished the Pennsylvania limestone creeks weekly back then in the 80’S as he and I have fished with some of the legends back then. We discuss our relationships, epiphanies and interesting anecdotes with those limestone legends, their amazing ground breaking books which influenced mine and how it influenced all of us and modern fly fishing today…don’t miss this one!

16: The Mayfly Mystique and Saga - Trout Selectivity and Matching the Hatch from the Meniscus to Benthos - Special Guest: Al Caucci Jun 15, 2022

Don’t miss this one! Hallowed Waters Podcast/Journal publisher Matthew

Supinski hosts special guest Al Caucci in a highly informative podcast for all you

dry fly and hatch chasing Trout Bums and bug addicts. Al is the Catskill and

Delaware River living iconic legend who authored “Hatches” and invented the

Compara-Dun series of mayfly imitations, along with the Spectrumized color and

tone concept to matching the hatch. He is the elderly mayfly maestro of the

mesmerizing hatch matching magic from the dry fly, emerger and spinner

meniscus, to the nymphing benthos. This Italian American Latin bug master has

devised a pragmatic and meticulous hatch matching system from the minutiae, to

macro and to the manicotti with his worldly love for Italian food and country. This

guy catches big selective Catskill and Montana trout with the seduction of a

sorcerer’s spell casted in the form of a Compara-dun. Together with Supinski they

discuss matching the hatch through the seasons, selectivity by trout to fly design

and all the nuances and peculiarities to fooling wild fussy trout in every venue and

destination.

15: Indigenous Brook Trout-Are they America’s Fly Fishing Founding Fish? or not?! Guest: Maine’s Bob Mallard May 17, 2022

Part of the “Indigenous, Introductions and Invasive’s ” Series.

Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for an intense couple of hours all you Salmonid saveurs and fellow Troutbum troubadours as Matthew Supinski, host and publisher of Hallowed Waters Journal and Podcasts; along with guest Bob Mallard take you listeners on a controversial, highly opinionated and riveting podcast that you surely can’t afford to miss! If you love wild brook trout, wild brown trout and rainbows, form your own opinions as the two authors joust opinions about their passions and favorite fish, and what is the right thing in the bigger scheme of things.

Have we become gods trying to manipulate the natural world in favor of what we love? Have we loved Brook Trout to death and put them on the highest pedestal of glory and worship? Are we being to virtuous and over-zealous when we eradicate other fish for the sake of what we think is pure and natural?

Brook Trout were the poster child fish of the first French fur trappers, colonials and Native Americans – they came to worship and love them. But as indigenous North American Atlantic salmon are on the verge of threatened extinction, and native brook trout populations continue to plummet, are brook trout in climate change’s favor? Can man’s greedy appetite to develop wilderness sanctuary waters someday be the death knell for these amazing game fish? And where do Brown Trout and Rainbows fit in to the mix? Will the more these more aggressive and highly adaptable trout become our universal salmonids of the future?
