Trout Wrangler Podcast | Season 2, Episode 113 | Building Better Baits with Reel Life Lures
On today's episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Dakota from Reel Life Lures to talk fishing, lure making, entrepreneurship, and the story behind building Reel Life Lures. We get into Dakota's background as an angler, how fishing became such a big part of his life, and what eventually pushed him toward creating his own lures and building a brand around them. Dakota takes us behind the scenes of Reel Life Lures, from coming up with ideas and developing new baits to testing them on the water and figuring out what actually gets fish to eat. We also talk about how much trial and error goes into designing a lure and the satisfaction of catching a fish on something you created yourself. We dive into the business side of things as well — growing Reel Life Lures, getting products in front of anglers, building a recognizable brand, and some of the lessons Dakota has learned along the way. And of course, we talk plenty of fishing. We get into the species Dakota loves chasing, how different fisheries influence lure design, and some of the experiences on the water that have helped shape Reel Life Lures. We wrap things up with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, followed by final thanks and plugs. If you're into fishing, lure making, tackle, small businesses, or just like seeing what goes into creating the baits sitting in your tackle box, tune into this one. @ReelLifeLures Reellifelures.co- Instagram That Fishing Guy- Tiktok

Trout Wrangler Podcast | Season 2, Episode 112 | Fly Fishing, Music & Community | Soul Fly Boston

Soul Fly Boston takes over Cisco Brewers Seaport on Saturday, September 12, bringing together fly fishing, live music, art, food, conservation and outdoor culture for a full day in Boston. Rather than your traditional fly-fishing show, Soul Fly is built around creating a party and community experience that brings anglers and non-anglers together. Griz gives us a look behind the scenes at what went into bringing Soul Fly to his home city of Boston, what they learned from the Charleston event earlier this year, and what people can expect when they show up in the Seaport. Soul Fly Charleston drew around 1,400 people, and the team has emphasized growing these events through deeper experiences rather than simply trying to make them bigger. We also get into everything surrounding the main event. The weekend kicks off Friday, September 11 with the Fish Boston Soul Fly Hootenanny on Boston Harbor, followed that evening by Soul Fly's Party with Purpose at Patagonia Boston. Then Saturday is the main Soul Fly Boston event at Cisco Brewers Seaport. Beyond fishing and music, we talk about the bigger mission behind Soul Fly and why community and conservation are such important pieces of these events. Griz is also the founder of Elevate Youth, a Boston nonprofit focused on helping young people experience the outdoors, and Soul Fly Boston is partnering with Elevate Youth and the American Saltwater Guides Association around the weekend. <p class="e-10811-text encore-text-body-medium" data-encore-id= "text

Trout Wrangler Podcast | Season 2, Episode 111 | Growing Up Fly Fishing Patagonia

Fly fishing runs deep in Diego's family. His father, Pancho Salas, was part of the early fly-fishing movement in Chile, and Diego grew up surrounded by the rivers, backcountry, fishing culture, and people that make Patagonia such a special place. We get into what it was like learning to fly fish in Patagonia, how Diego developed as an angler and guide, and how spending a lifetime on these waters has shaped the way he approaches fishing today. We also talk about ChiliGuides and Noctiluca Patagonia, the experiences Diego is helping create for visiting anglers, and what separates an authentic Patagonian fishing trip from simply showing up and trying to catch as many fish as possible. Of course, we dive into the fishing itself — big brown trout, reading unfamiliar water, adapting to the famous Patagonian wind, changing weather, and why being prepared for just about anything is part of fishing this region. Diego has previously described the wind as something anglers shouldn't fear and can actually learn to use to their advantage. Beyond the fishing, we talk about the culture, people, landscapes, and lifestyle of Chilean Patagonia and why understanding the place itself is such an important part of experiencing it. Diego's family has spent decades sharing not only the fishing but also the history, local customs, weather, and backcountry of the region with visiting anglers. We finish things off with five songs for the Trout Tunes Spotify playlist, followed by final thanks and plugs. If Patagonia is sitting anywhere on your fly-fishing bucket list, you're going to want to tune into this one. <p class="e-10811-text encore-text-body-medium" data-encore-id= "text" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-fragment= "JTVCJTdCJTIydHlwZSUyMiUz

Before starting Dirty Verde Outfitters, Ian spent years chasing redfish, gar and bass throughout Louisiana. After moving west, he brought those bayou roots and years of experience to Arizona's desert waters, where he now guides anglers for everything from trout and bass to hard-fighting carp. We get into what brought Ian to Arizona, how the fishing around Sedona, Oak Creek and the Verde River differs from the fisheries he grew up on, and what surprises anglers most about fishing in the desert. We also discuss the versatility it takes to target multiple species using both fly and conventional tackle. Ian shares the story behind Dirty Verde Outfitters and its growth from a guide service into an all-in-one fly shop, tackle lounge and community gathering place in Camp Verde. The business offers guided trips, casting instruction, equipment and local fishing knowledge while working to create a welcoming home base for anglers of every experience level. We also talk about guiding beginners and families, creating fishing content, building an outdoor business and the responsibility that comes with representing local waters. Ian explains why honesty and effort matter when guiding, especially when changing weather, water conditions and unpredictable fish ultimately determine how each day unfolds. Along the way, we dive into the diverse fishing opportunities found in northern Arizona, including rainbow trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, rock bass and carp.

Perry shares how he first got into fly fishing, from learning the basics with his father to falling in love with trout fishing while attending Appalachian State University. After spending several years guiding and managing a fly shop in Colorado, he returned home to North Carolina where he traded mountain streams for shallow-water redfish and eventually opened Sound Side Outfitters in Swansboro. We dive into the story behind the shop, what inspired Perry to create a place focused on growing the local fly-fishing community, and how Sound Side Outfitters has become much more than just a retail store. From fly tying nights and educational events to guided trips and community gatherings, Perry shares his vision of making the shop a hub for anglers of every experience level. We also talk about the incredible opportunities the Crystal Coast offers for fly anglers, targeting species like red drum, false albacore, speckled trout, and more. Perry explains what makes this fishery unique and why eastern North Carolina has become one of the premier saltwater fly-fishing destinations on the East Coast.
