Tailer Trash Fly Fishing - Episode 61 - Syriagonia Mar 07, 2021

Show notes

Episode 61 finds the Tailer Park crew a little light, but we have a guest that has traveled over 3,000 miles visiting, so we fired up the Traeger had some tasty wood fired treats for dinner and leaned into it. Our good buddy, Jimmy is back in Florida for a couple of days from Bethel / Ketchikan where he alternates landing on the ground and water depending upon what time of the month he’s flying. Jimmy shares a little insight into what it takes to make the leap of faith that took him out to the frontier to live and work full time, what life is like flying in and out of remote villages and his future plans. Ben shares details of his recent exploratory trip to a mysterious bass pond / lake / retention pond where he put his latest “Dusty to Crusty” fly rod set-up to work. Larry tells yet another story of not catching fish while on the skiff, his specialty. A Mail Barge delivery arrives from afar in a recycled MRE box. When opened, there is some genuine excitement that follows! Who knows what else gets kicked around, rum was being poured and lies were told. Stay Trashy

Tailer Trash Fly Fishing - Episode 59 - If They Cut You, Never Let Them See You Bleed Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

2021 is here and we survived to tell the tale. Tailer Trash Fly Fishing resumed its tradition of storytelling and unedited reporting on the latest and often not so greatest underbelly of fly fishing culture and entertainment. Joining us around the Old Oak Table in the Tailer Park was none other than Ted McGregor (@tedmcgreezy / @camp.mcgregor) of “Do You Even Double Haul, Bro?” fame. Ben Pickett (@el_mucho_pescado) gets us started with his wrap-up of 2020. Ted and Marc Ziegler (@mziegler54) ease us into the New Year with a couple of stories of their most recent trips on Mosquito Lagoon. We rewind it back to 2020 for a moment to talk about proper fish handling and the art of keeping them wet with Ted and Larry Littrell (@saltbum) before we turn it loose and the chat takes on its normal ebb and flow across a range of topics. Ted updates us on a couple of the recent @anchored_outdoors Masters Classes he’s completed / started on Spey Casting and Bamboo Rod Building, If you haven’t signed up for a membership yet, you should! During our most recent visit from the Mail Barge, we received a Lid Rig - Magnetic Nipper System (@lidrig) to check out. Everyone at the Old Oak Table had the opportunity to examine it and opine on what their initial thoughts were on its design and function. If you haven’t yet seen a Lid Rig (www.lidrig.com), check them out! Carl Granger (@so_bursted) and Larry share a bit about the low budget restoration of the 1986 Hobie Power Skiff that just started calling the Space Coast home. As always, there’s plenty of other nonsense buried throughout the episode, we hope it challenges your thoughts or at minimum gets a laugh or two. For now, Stay Trashy or Stay Huge – It’s your choice. Don’t forget to check the T2F2 web store on occasion, we’re adding new merch for 2021.

Show notes

Fresh off of a great Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving holiday, the Tailer Trash Fly Fishing crew gather around the Old Oak Table yet again to dispense more of their opinions on anything from fly fishing to Christmas shopping. One segment you'll not want to miss was inspired by Casting Across. More belly aching about the current state of the imperiled estuary known as Mosquito Lagoon. It sucks, tell your friends.

Episode 56 - Tailer Trash Fly Fishing - Truth Be Told Nov 15, 2020

Show notes

We start the show with a call to action in hopes of preserving and protecting a dying American road trip pastime. We hope you'll join us in the effort. We wrap up the Dinghy Derby & Poker Run - An event that has left us with nothing but admiration for our listeners and supporters who made it possible to continue supporting the critical work being done by Marine Discovery Center on behalf of Mosquito Lagoon and Indian River Lagoon restoration and community education. We close the loop on the Box Challenge we first talked about nearly a year ago. While we recognize our role in the fly fishing realm isn't that of influencers, we hope to share our personal experiences with gear in a way that you'll learn something about the differences in marketing and reality so you can apply the lessons we've learned in a way that helps you avoid our same mistakes. Buyer beware! Did you know our podcast was featured on a recent cover of the online mullet wrapper, Southern Culture on the Fly? We tell you all about it, like only assholes can! We wrap up with another awesome visit from the Mail Barge.

Tailer Trash Fly Fishing - Episode 55 - Kick The Tires & Light The Fire Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

A lot is going on, so we dive straight into the biggest news story of the day, the pending election. We don’t have a suggestion for you on who you vote for, that’s your choice. We do, however have some thoughts on elements within fly fishing and companies in the industry who are using the election to divide us as anglers. We think it sucks. Carl catches us up on the progress being made on the skiff build with Jamieson. It leads to a good deal of skiff talk. Andrew joins us for a segment to help tell the story of Peacocking with Ben in South Florida. He also reveals the discovery of a cove filled with tailing carp in Middle Tennessee. Ted joins us to talk logistics, it’s what he does. He shares how his first summer in the Gaspe` wrapped up at Camp McGregor and includes his experience with the Anchored Outdoors’ April Vokey master class on spey casting. If you are considering signing up, which we recommend, please consider using the link on our website. (We get a little beer money if you do!) The big topic with Ted is of course the 2020 Dinghy Derby & Poker Run. If you’re far, far away and still have an interest in supporting the cause, you can donate via the Venmo listed over on the Tailer Trash Fly Fishing website. We’re looking forward to November 7, 2020. We can’t wait to meet a lot of you and raise as much money as possible to support Marine Discovery Center.
