A music producer doesn't usually end up building a fly fishing podcast—but that's exactly how Pablo Signori got started. What began as a side project during the pandemic turned into The Noob and the Knower, a show built around learning fly fishing from the ground up.

Instead of positioning himself as an expert, Pablo leaned into being a beginner and documented the process in real time. That approach not only shaped the podcast but also opened the door to travel, deeper learning, and a completely new path in fly fishing.

There's a stretch of the Midwest that a lot of anglers pass right by without ever realizing what's tucked into it. Beneath the farmland and rolling roads of the region sits one of the most underrated trout fisheries in the country. In this episode, John Van Vliet breaks down why the Driftless has become such a special place for anglers who love small streams, spring creeks, and big wild trout.

We get into the unique geology of the Driftless, why the region fishes so differently from freestone rivers, and how a creek that looks too small to hold fish can surprise you with a twenty-inch brown. John also shares practical tactics for approaching new water, finding fish faster, and fishing these clear creeks without blowing your chances.

This one is packed with useful takeaways whether you're planning your first trip to the Driftless or just want to become a better small stream angler.

James Frakes and Jackson Birrell break down what they're doing with the Salmonfly Project, a nonprofit focused on tracking aquatic insect populations across the West. They talk about why bugs like salmonflies, stoneflies, and mayflies matter, and how they can show what's really happening in a river.

You'll also hear how habitat, water quality, and insect life all connect, and what anglers can do to pay attention and get involved.

They also touch on Bug Fest, coming up soon, where you can learn more and connect with the project in person.
