Co-hosts Garrison and Corinne Doctor are joined by Josh Mills who finds himself most at home along the banks of a steelhead river, ideally with a fly that he tied on the other side of his cast.  He and his fishing buddies, a favorite of whom is his father, not only get into a few good fish now and again, but the classic trials and tribulations that come with steelheading.

Co-hosts Garrison and Corinne Doctor share fishing stories with RepYourWater ambassador Santiago Dall'Acqua over a cocktail in Mexico.  They recount stories from three countries of fishing together: Bolivia for Golden Dorado, trout on dry flies in Northern Patagonia in Argentina and attempts at salt water fishing in Mexico.

Co-hosts Garrison and Corinne Doctor had a trip planned to visit and fish with friend and fly fishing guide Sindri Hlidar of Fish Partner in Iceland this week in June 2020.  Unfortunately the pandemic had other plans.  They call Sindri up to hear tell of the mega brown trout of lake Thingvallavatn and the other fishing the country has to offer that they are missing out on.  It didn't make the cancelled trip hurt less.
