The team USA youth team has dominated the last two world championships.

And this year it will be held in eastern Idaho on the Henry's Fork and some of the other

famous waters as part of the country.

A big reason for their success is the person who is on this podcast today.

And today you're going to find his roadmap to prepare for a new river or stream you plan on fishing this season.

Hey, this is Dave, host of the travel podcast today. I've been fly fishing since I was a little kid,

grew up around a little fly shop and created one of the largest fly fishing podcasts in this country.

Josh Miller, Pennsylvania guide and one of the best anglers in the country is going to show us how to approach a new water.

From the right questions to ask from the start, which don't necessarily always include which fly, to his advice on choosing a mentor and why you should stick with one.

To reverse engineering the stream to make sure you can present your fly to more fish, Josh is going to bring it all today so you can present

the fly correctly. This episode of Travel is presented by Yellowstone Teton Territory where you can

explore great fly fishing, great hunting, and the world championships this year. All right, too much

good stuff. Let's get into it. Here he is. Josh Miller from Troutya.com. How you doing, Josh?

Good, Dave. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks for putting this together today. You've been a person that I've heard a lot about over the

years, and I think we just are finally getting you on here, but it's been definitely, you know,

because you've got a connection to obviously Pennsylvania is a very popular place.

We've had some episodes. I've been out there a little bit. And then also Team USA, I want to talk about that today because I think you've done an amazing job with the youth team. I want to talk about that because this year they're actually going to be, I think, in Idaho out west. And I'm guessing they have a shot at winning some more. So we're going to talk about all that. But before we get into that, and you're guiding and you guide out there.

So before we jump in that, let's take it right back to the start. You know, fly fishing, kind of what's your first memory and how did you get into it? Memory-wise, I've been, you know, just like a lot of the great anglers, fishing a long time. my mom and dad would take me brook trout fishing in the north central
