We’ve had episodes on fly fishing the Gaspé Peninsula before: the famous rivers, active Atlantic salmon to the surface, and why it's a fantastic destination. But today, we’re diving even deeper.

Andrew Murphy, longtime guide and now lodge owner at Gaspé Coastal, takes us into his home waters and shows us how diverse the fishery really is. You’ll learn how to fish for salmon, stripers, and even sea-run brook trout, all on the same trip.

By the end of this one, you’ll have the knowledge, and probably the itch, to book your Gaspé adventure. Let’s go!

In this episode, we’re headed to one of Montana’s most iconic rivers — the Big Hole River. Known as one of the last strongholds for Arctic grayling and a key tributary of the Missouri River, the Big Hole is facing some serious challenges. Brian Wheeler, Executive Director of the Big Hole River Foundation, joins us to talk about declining trout populations, water quality concerns, and what’s being done to turn things around.

Brian breaks down the science behind their five-year water quality monitoring project, explains how nutrient pollution and dissolved oxygen levels are impacting the river, and shares why honest, transparent data is key to protecting this watershed for future generations. We also get a peek into Brian’s adventures guiding on the Big Hole and running rivers like the Grand Canyon and the Middle Fork of the Salmon.

Presented By: On DeMark Lodge

If you're dreaming about a fall trip to Montana to chase trophy trout under the big sky, this episode is for you. We're heading to the Missouri River with the DeMark family—Craig, Becky, and Warren—from On DeMark Lodge. They’re sharing what makes their small, family-run lodge near Craig, MT, one of the most dialed-in operations on the Missouri River. You’ll hear exactly what to expect in October—from long dry fly drifts over rising pods to aggressive streamer eats in shallow water.

We get their full strategy for fishing fall hatches like blue-winged olives, mahogany duns, and october caddis, plus the best nymph and streamer rigs to run in cooler water. And they’re breaking down the dry fly presentation mistakes most anglers make—and how to fix them. From home-cooked meals and campfire stories to chasing wild browns and rainbows on one of the most consistent rivers in the country, this episode has it all.
