In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part Two of our conversation with Kubie Brown from Southwest Montana. Kubie grew up with an obsession for fishing that often led to solo fishing excursions in the streams, rivers, and lakes of Vermont and New York.

In this episode we Wade Back into some of 2024s most memorable conversations. These impactful dialogues are a combination of tactics, stories, conservation, and personal journeys that represent the best of what fly fishing can give us and what we can give back.
If you’ve been a long time listener of the show, my intent is that these highlights remind you of why you listen and what WadeOutThere tries to unpack by sharing each guest's story of why fly fishing is special… for them.
If you’re new to the podcast, this is what it’s all about. Everyone’s story is different. Everyone’s passion for the sport takes its own meandering path downstream. This show explores those unique passions. I hope this episode inspires you to go back and listen to some earlier episodes that spark your interest.
I believe fly fishing is special, but not elite. May this episode remind us of our own special journey in fly fishing and keep us excited to hear from others.Newsletter Sign-Up

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Chelsey Christy, from Denver, Colorado. Chelsey started fly fishing on Colorado’s South Platte River and immediately caught the fly fishing bug. She was spending so much time fly fishing and in her local fly shop, that they asked her to start guiding.
Chelsey soon began searching for a way to connect with nature and the river on her own, further from some of the pressured waters of the front range. Her searching took her to Southwestern Colorado’s many mountain creeks and streams that she now enjoys exploring and fishing on her time away from guiding.
Chelsey is also an artist, and balances her time between guiding and painting. She has made several fishy designs for Colorado Trout Hunters Guide Service, where she also guides.
We discuss the importance of your local guide shop when starting out, tips and tactics for high mountain creeks in Southwest Colorado, and how Christy embraces the beauty she finds in nature through her paintings.To learn more about Chelsey and the topics we discussed in this episode, or to schedule a guided trip, check out the following links:

In this episode we WadeOutThere with James Mugele from Livingston, Montana. James started fly fishing while attending college in Vermont. After befriending a retired fishing guide from out west, James found his introduction to fly fishing grounded in tying big flies and casting for Muskies.
James’ dream became to move to Montana and fish big Western rivers with his black lab Bo as his faithful companion. After school he had saved enough to drive to Montana and stay with a friend that was guiding on the Yellowstone River. Livingston was his first stop on the road trip, and after one good float down the Yellowstone throwing hoppers he knew he was home.
James has been guiding on the Yellowstone ever since, and recently became part owner of Hatch Finders fly shop.
We discuss adjusting your tactics based on different flows, the Yellowstone River, and James shares some of his techniques and philosophies on fishing streamers. James also shares why even fishing dogs benefit from time on the water.
