The Newb & The Knower

The Newb & The Knower A fly fishing podcast

A newer angler sits down with one of the best in the world and asks the questions everybody else is too embarrassed to ask. We get into it, from beginner to expert.

About the show

Start from zero

Season one begins where every angler does: what is fly fishing, what gear do I actually need, and how do I cast this thing. From there we work through dry flies, nymphing, streamers, stillwater, small streams, winter, fall, fly lines and leaders.

Pablo asks. Lance answers in plain language, with a few tangents along the way. You walk away with something you can try on the water the next day.

Technical, but not boring. Funny, but not unserious.
