Today's guests have spent a lifetime chasing steelhead from the Great Lakes to British Columbia,

teaching, guiding, and living the two-handed life every step of the way.

Jeff Liskay just wrapped up hosting our Steelhead School and Skeena Spade Lodge,

where anglers swung through legendary waters under the shadow of the coastal mountains of BC.

By the end of this episode, you're going to hear what makes the skiing as such a magnetic river for traveling steelheaders.

Why fishing shorter sink tips can be the key in big water and how small adjustments, fly angle, swing speed, or depth can make or break your day.

This is the wet fly swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing, how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip

and what you can do to give back to the fish species we all love. Jeff Liskay is here to take us

inside the Skeena's Bay experience from beginner breakthroughs to 20 pound chromers and to share

why this trip continues to redefine what's possible with the

swung fly. We're going to discover the mindset it takes to fish moving water, what Jeff learned from

Brian Niska and the Skeena Spay crew, and how lessons from the Great Lakes translates perfectly

to one of the wildest steelhead systems on the planet. Here he is, my man, Jeff Liske. You can find

him at greatlakesdood.com and great lakesdudpodcast.com. Let's get into it. How's it going, Jeff?

Great, Dave. How about yourself? Good. Good. This is awesome, man. This is really cool to have you back here.

And we're doing a cool thing here. We've got video going. Usually we do audio only and usually I'm just looking at a screen. I'm looking at my notes. But now we're looking at each other. We're going to have this video out on YouTube probably so people can take a look if they want to. It'll be more of a probably not as edited version. But first off, I want to check it with you on the trip. We've got the Skeena Space School, that whole trip you did. I heard it was great. I wasn't there. You were hosting it essentially and doing great work. But, but yeah, maybe giving me an update. What's been going on? I know you've been busy all around the, does it feel like you've been traveling like for all summer here yeah you know I closed my season up warm water right

and the end of July then I like you've been traveling like for all summer here? Yeah, you know, I closed my season up

warm water right at the end of July. Then I got an invite to the Dean with Hickman, got home from

that in early August. I had a couple trips to run and then I headed to Skina Country to see

and meet Brian Niske for the first time.

And unbelievable in the whole two-handed world, you know, he's probably one of the best

in the world.
