2021 is here and we survived to tell the tale. Tailer Trash Fly Fishing resumed its tradition of storytelling and unedited reporting on the latest and often not so greatest underbelly of fly fishing culture and entertainment. Joining us around the Old Oak Table in the Tailer Park was none other than Ted McGregor (@tedmcgreezy / @camp.mcgregor) of “Do You Even Double Haul, Bro?” fame. Ben Pickett (@el_mucho_pescado) gets us started with his wrap-up of 2020. Ted and Marc Ziegler (@mziegler54) ease...

We close the loop on the ...
A lot is going on, so we dive straight into the biggest news story of the day, the pending election. We don’t have a suggestion for you on who you vote for, that’s your choice. We do, however have some thoughts on elements within fly fishing and companies in the industry who are using the election to divide us as anglers. We think it sucks. Carl catches us up on the progress being made on the skiff build with Jamieson. It leads to a good deal of skiff talk. Andrew joins us for a segment to help ...
The band is back together. Join us as we catch up on recent travels, reminisce about school field trips from back in the day and kick around random topics from the luxurious confines of the double wide trailer.

Episode 52 is rare matinee session in the Tailer Park. High on Velveeta cheese based queso dip, the full cast of malcontents discuss a wide ranging number of topics.

Marc and Larry share a little bit about their recent fly fishing foray in the NIRL. Larry recaps his trip to East Tennessee, where he fished with Robert King from The South Holston River Fly Shop. As the water quality plunges to something akin to chocolate milk in most of Mosquito Lagoon, the conversation turns to the difference between areas where guides self-pol...
We’re a little giddy over the fact that we’ve reached Episode 50 of the podcast. If you’ve listened from the beginning, you know it’s actually more than that, but who’s counting… Unfortunately, Carl was a victim of the weather, a stomach bug or something, so he missed the festivities. Andrew was able to join us remotely from Tennessee, which was great, he’s been a part of the podcast from before the rebellion to Episode Zero and beyond. Actual fly fishing was discussed / lies were told to remini...
Along with the Saharan dust cloud, stifling heat blanketed the Tailer Park, so we left the Traeger tucked away and opted for pizza from the best joint in NSB for a pre-show meal.
