In this episode, we break down the full lineup of the Fly Fishing Bootcamp, a 12-session, multi-day event designed to cover the complete range of modern fly fishing skills. From fly casting mechanics with Kalyn Hoggard and Marty McVey, to steelhead strategy with Jeff Liskay, dry fly precision with Bob Lindquist, modern nymphing with Norman Maktima, trout fly tying with Mike O'Brien, two-handed casting with Jeff Putnam, bass tactics with Brian DeLoach, entomology with The Salmonfly Project, streamer strategy with James Garrettson, stillwater systems with Phil Rowley, fly tying mastery with Davie McPhail, and panfish tactics with Bart Lombardo.
This episode walks through what each instructor brings to the table, why these skills matter together as a complete system, and how you can join live to be part of the conversation.
If you're looking for structure, clarity, and a full-spectrum approach to the season ahead, this is where it starts.

| 0:00.0 | Let me stop and ask you something. Have you ever been on the water, made that cast, watched |
| 0:06.2 | the drift, and wondered if you were doing everything right? Would a subtle change in fly rod angle make a |
| 0:11.9 | difference? Would more weight get to a bigger fish? Or could a different line leader or maybe rod |
| 0:17.9 | make the difference between a day getting skunked and a day with an amazing |
| 0:22.2 | fishing story. Those questions and that small gap between where you are now and where you want to be, |
| 0:27.7 | that's what I'm talking about today in this super short solo episode of the podcast. This is the |
| 0:33.0 | WebFi Swing podcast where I show you the best places to travel to for fly fishing, how to find |
| 0:37.3 | the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip, and what you can do to give back to the |
| 0:41.7 | fish species we all love. Most anglers don't need more gear, they don't need another fly |
| 0:46.9 | pattern, and most don't need another random tip from social media. You need to understand why |
| 0:53.1 | things work. So when conditions change out there, |
| 0:55.5 | you don't start second guessing yourself on the water. That's exactly why we built the fly fishing |
| 1:01.2 | boot camp. And you can save your spot right now if you go to wetfly swing.com slash boot camp. |

| 1:13.0 | today. Like I said, in this short episode, and I'm going to talk about some of the presenters we have |
| 1:18.2 | so you understand what we have coming here. This is going to be a focused event. This is going to be |
| 1:23.0 | a minimum of four days where we're going to have multiple casting instructors that are going to talk about all |
| 1:28.5 | topics including steelhead, two-handed casting, single-handed casting. We're going to get into |
| 1:33.4 | trout, bass, streamers, stillwater, just a little bit of everything in fly fishing, and we're going to |
| 1:39.3 | get presentations from some of the best in the country. It's going to be live, it's going to be |
| 1:44.0 | interactive, and you're going to be live. It's going to be interactive. |
