Rapid Fire Questions
If RepYourWater had a post fishing cocktail named after them, what would it be?
“The Side Channel – Rye Whiskey, Ginger Beer, Lime, and a dash of Orange Bitters. Served on the rocks.”
What are a few pieces of gear that you never leave home without?
“Coban tape, WAY too many flies, a decent camera, and Pedialyte for adults!”
What type of fly fishing experiences do you enjoy?
“We love a fishing experience that is “out there” a bit but still has a few simple creature comforts close at hand. However, really what makes any fishing experience for us is the people you are with and the people you meet.”
What are Your Favorite Fly Fishing Destinations?
“Tsimane Lodges, Bolivia – An absolutely unique, pristine, and incredible place and fishery. Golden Dorado is fun AF. ChileTrout Lodge, Chile – The variation of water types in a single area is amazing – from spring creeks in grassland to big glacial fed rivers in temperate rainforest – amazing location. Jurassic Lake Lodge – A rainbow trout fishery like none other on the planet, and the lodge is a stone’s throw from the best beats – incredible spot, and Argentine wine is a favorite of ours. Iceland with Fish Partner – Our Iceland experience has been searching for big, wild, native, ice-age brown trout. It was not always easy, but they are incredible to fight and see in person and the landscape is stunning to the point of surreal.”
What are trips that are on your bucket list?
“Alphonse, Seychelles – The best of the best saltwater fishing with GTs is, of course, at the top of the wish list. Ascension Bay, Mexico – Many shots at permit and beers on the beach; sign us up. Tierra del Fuego, Argentina – Ripping wind and some of the biggest sea-run browns in the world, enough said. Iceland for sea-run browns – Last time we were in Iceland, we targeted resident fish; we are hoping to get after some big sea runs before too long. Brazil for Peacock Bass – This seems to be one of the better topwater eats in freshwater; we would like to see it for ourselves…”
Why Fly Fishing Destination Travel?
 “To meet new people – because we all know people that choose to spend their lives in the fly fishing industry are more often than not awesome. To challenge yourself in new fisheries – because there is no better way to do this than to do something new in a place you have never fished before.”
