Louis DiGena – The Art of Fly Tying

Lou DiGena is an accomplished fly tier from New Jersey.  He’s an extraordinary guy. We dive deep into fly tying, photography, digital media, and fine art. As I learned on this podcast, he is a professor of fine art and digital media at St John University.    I don’t think either of us thought we were going down the art rabbit hole but that is the fun part of podcasts, learning about your guests as a person and their expertise. It clears Lou is an artist, both behind the vise, behind the lens and in various other art mediums.

Eric Naguski – Favorite Flies For Pennsylvania

Eric Naguski is an author and guide from Boiling Springs, PA.  Central Pennsylvania fly fishing is something of fly fishing folk lore.  From the chalk streams to the spring creeks, many say this area has some of the most historic and best trout fishing in the country.  Rivers like the Letort, Spring Creek, Yellow Breaches, Big Spring and more.  You can feel the history and nostalgia just setting one wading boot in the cool waters of Penns Creek or Little J. 

Bart Lombardo – Panfish On The Fly

Let’s face it, panfish, on the whole, are less glamorous than many of the other species we target with a fly rod.  Catching a sunfish or crappie, to some, may not be as cool as trout or a tarpon. But for so many of us, we started fishing and maybe even fly fishing, down at the local pond catching bluegill, bass, crappie and the like with bait, a spinning rod or maybe even a fly rod.  The fact is, targeting panfish can provide a super fun day on the water with a fly rod.  I mean, a good size crappie crushing a top-water bug is a ton of fun.  And panfish can prove to be a great species for introducing a friend to fly fishing. 

Brian Shumaker – Susquehanna River Smallmouth Fishing

When you hear about the Susquehanna River, especially for smallmouth, you think about names like Lefty Kreh, Bob Clouser and Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides.  Brian has been mentored by Bob Clouser over the years and Bob was kind enough to offer a personal recommendation to have Brian on the podcast.  We dive into great tips and tactics to have more success with your smallmouth fishing.  With over 30 years of guiding experience, Brian shares the best equipment set up for smallmouth as well as fishing strategies and fly recommendations. Enjoy!
