March Madness has always been a huge deal in our home. Every year since we were young we spent time filling out our brackets and then watching the big dance and pulling for our teams to pull the upset. We figured what better way to celebrate March Madness this year than creating our very own fly bracket. We've put together 64 well known flies, seeded them, and then invited some of our friends to help us vote for each match up. Full of controversy, listen in as we discuss the match ups and eventually choose the 2024 Dads On The Fly Ultimate Fly Bracket champion.

Let us know which match ups we got wrong and your opinions on your favorite flies.

Thanks to our friends and past guests for joining us. You can find their previous episodes and information:

In this episode, we learn about the driftless area from Lance Prado of Root River Rod Company. The driftless area is characterized by steep hills, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, spring-fed waterfalls, and cold-water trout streams. It's a gem in the Midwest, and Lance knows it as well as anyone. He shares with us all the things that make the Driftless special. Lance also shares a heartwarming story with us about inheriting his family's fly shop.

In this episode, we recap our recent trip to the Clinch River in eastern Tennessee. After hanging out and meeting Chad Fouts, manager of The Smoky Mountain Angler, a fly shop in Gatlinburg and Knoxville, he told us we had to get over to the Knoxville area to see this incredible river. We took him up on the opportunity this past weekend and ended up fishing on one of the rainiest days we'd ever had on the water. However, it didn't slow the fishing down, at least on the boat that we weren't in. Hear more about our day on The Clinch in today's episode.
