Imagining a bucolic day on the River Test
I loved the podcast with Gille Bait of Fly Odyssey UK (11/23/2023). I re-listend to again 12 months later in 2024 and still enjoyed the adventure. Having forwarded it to several of my English angler buddies I am praying for an invitation to make a date. Steve has a natural knack of having his guest speakers open up and share their experiences on their waters where ever they practice fly fishing. The guests are practioners with some fabulous insights. He introduces you to wonderful parts of the US and occasionally overseas, a la the hallowed River Test. The 'Black Hills Stealth' with Hans Stephenson in Rapid City, ND (6/15/2023) lead me to a one of his guides, David Gamet who guided me on a fabulous September day's fishing on the Rapid Creek. Many thanks Steve!

Great Podcast
It’s awesome to listen to all the diverse fly fishing destinations from all over the world! I enjoy dreaming about fishing some of the destinations, but there is also a lot of useful knowledge if your’e looking to plan a trip. Just learning about a new fishery is interesting as well. It’s all covered on this podcast with great guests and an excellent host!

Good information, love listening
Steve always has something good on the podcast dealing with fly fishing and traveling to these places. I always enjoy listening to it.

Love this show!
Great guests and stimulating conversations that take me to places I can't always get to. Every conversation takes me to the joy of being on the water. Thoughtful, funny, and insightful. Keep up the great podcasts Steve & co! Jonathan

I love the destination angler podcast
This is my all time favorite podcast to learn about new places to fish and explore. My bucket list is growing fast after listening to these shows and learning about new areas that hadn't crossed my mind in the past. I listen to a handful of other flyfishing podcasts and this one is the best! Steve does a great job lining up the best qualified guides/professionals to discuss a certain body of water and always asks the questions that I would ask if I wanted to learn about each area. Whenever I'm on the vise or traveling to a fishing location, I turn on one of these episodes and it gets me even more excited to get out on the water. Steve is also a great and genuine guy himself. I had to pleasure to bump into him in the backcountry of the Wind River mtn range and he's as nice in person to chat with as he is on his shows. Thanks Steve for putting together such a great podcast and hope to bump into you again down the road!

Praise for Steve at Destination Angler
Steve was very professional, knowledgeable of fly fishing and traveling and he asked very good questions. Steve was very good at making you feel comfortable during the podcast and did an extremely good job of preparation prior to the podcast.

Entertaining and educational
Thanks for all that you do for the fly fishing community. This podcast is entertaining, educational, and I always look forward to the next show!

Educational and Entertaining
If you are looking for a podcast that is educational and entertaining you will enjoy this one! Great interviews, topics and destinations too. I always look forward to the next podcast and adventure.

Always Interesting!
I find the episodes of The Destination Angler always interesting. The destinations are varied and the guests are good talkers. They represent the destination well. Steve, the host, lets the guests do the talking (unlike many podcasters).

Great podcast for the adventurous angler
I highly recommend this podcast if you enjoy exploring new rivers to flyfish. Steve is a great host and passionate flyfisher—the type of flyfisher you would gladly share camp/lodge with.

Love the show!
This is a fun show to listen to while I’m working or at home. One thing I’d love to hear more is content geared toward warm water fishing. Bass, panfish, striper, gar, and more. I love far off destinations, but there’s also an immense amount of fishing destinations closer to me to be more relatable. Keep it up!

great podcast
awesome info and easy way to get amped for next trip

Grey Reef
Podcast was awesome. Steve did such a great job interviewing and getting the sense of the place. I called the next day and booked 2 floats for this August! Thanks Steve!

Great Conversations
I have enjoyed all of the Destination Angler podcasts. The host is a great interviewer. He asks good questions and lets the guests answer them. This results in great conversations. Give it a listen!

Where to go next
The podcast is great. Hearing about different places and rivers to fish told by guys that know it best is terrific. It gives me good ideas about where to go next and after that and after that. Guests often give interesting fishing tips that are actually helpful and Steve does a great job of keeping the conversation on point and moving along. Destination Angler podcast is an easy 5stars!

My Go To
I’ve been a fishing guide in the Adirondacks for over 20 years and more recently a registered Maine Fishing Guide. Destination angler is the first podcast I go to when in the mood to listen about fishing. Great shows. Keep up the good work.

Davy Wotton podcast
Excellent podcast with the great Davy Wotton. As an aspiring wet fly angler, it is always a treat to listen to Mr. Wotton share his expertise. It would be wonderful to have another episode to focus on his wet fly techniques.

Time well spent
Listened to so many of Steve's podcasts! Just sheer enjoyment. Informative, insightful and refreshing! Just normal people talking about the love of the sport and the places they call home waters. Thank you! Keep them coming!

Fantastic Podcast!
I would highly encourage listeners to checkout the Destination Angler Podcast. Steve is a talented host that interviews fly fishing guides about their exciting experiences on a variety of waters. As a angler himself, his passion and enthusiasm are evident to seek answers for his listeners that are considering to book new fishing adventures. Paul Hallberg Pennsylvania Angler

Great Resource for Fly Fishing Enthusiasts
An excellent podcast for learning about locations, gear and techniques for catching fish on the fly. The guests always have interesting stories and insights on all types of fish in locations around the world. Highly recommend!

A good friend on a long commute
I love listening to the Destination Angler Podcast during my hour long (each way) commute for work. It introduces me to different areas that I haven't fished and may never fish, but after listening I feel I've been there. Steve's questions are great, and the guests are interesting. The most memorable podcast for me was the interview with John Maclean. It was a two parter and honestly I could have listened more!

Trout yeah Brown trout addiction my friends
Love hearing Josh Miller talk, learn so much just by listening between him and Don Cameroni I’ve learned so much

Destination angler podcast
Steve does a fantastic job at lining up great guests and provides great interviews with them. Always very informative podcasts where I’m able to soak in lots of useful information which makes me excited for trying new waters and applying techniques that are discussed. Thanks Steve for your quality show!

Highly recommended!!!
Absolutely one of my favorite podcasts! Steve has curated an incredible list of anglers, tyers, authors and outdoorsmen and women who have shared a wealth of knowledge, tips and trips with his listeners. I have really enjoyed his conversations, learned a ton and get inspired to travel and try new waters all along the way. One thing I really appreciate is that Steve leaves the spotlight on his guests, and is careful to not speak over them while they’re sharing and asks great questions to keep things flowing smoothly. It’s very easy and interesting to listen to! Highly recommended podcast!

The best
Steve, like you, I read his book and his dad’s and watched “The Movie” several times. Your two part interview was spectacular. You even got the rest of the story about the opening from the researchers at University of Chicago. As outdoors oriented podcast go, you truly are the best. Jim

Outstanding.
Both [Blackfoot River] episodes were outstanding. Pulling the curtains back on the book and movie was quite entertaining. Ready to watch / read again.

Awesome
Love this podcast. I can fly fish and travel without leaving my car! The people and interviews are so compelling and well done. Makes me want to travel to new waters, but also helps me appreciate my home waters.

Praising destination podcast
Great job!! Steve asks great questions to keep the narrative moving along. He respects the subject interviewed and genuinely expresses interest throughout.

Experiences & Knowledge
Steve and all of his guests not only give great knowledge about streams, rivers, high-country, and general fly fishing, they make you yearn to get out and experience the stories they relay and the water they talk about. A great podcast series, worth the listen - every single time.
