In this podcast, we sit down with Brian Jill and discuss how he got into guiding and filmmaking, what goes into producing great content, and his adventures fishing around the world. Brian also discusses his association Florida Fly Guides and the benefit of working with others, the gratification of introducing anglers to the sport of fly fishing, and the importance of organization and preparedness to make a successful trip. We also dive into some crazy stories from being on the road, and how he handles guiding in a highly pressured fishery.

Brian and I got a chance to spend some time on the water together leading up to the interview. We found some large groups of fish in the blistering cold, and enjoyed sharing time on the bow and a few Oyster City beers. Check out a few photos from our day.
