Flip Pallot | Mill House Podcast - Episode 3

[@auggyboy284]

As a kid growing up in the inner city, I watched Flip, Lefty, Jose, Andy, George on the weekends instead of watching cartoons….To see the places they’d fish, set the spark to fish and go on adventures. I’m not I’m not the only one

[@timtollett8513]

Met Mr. Pallot in my store in Montana back in 1990's, and we talked about fine traditional bows. A true outdoorsman. Very well done - Thanks for the podcast.

[@PeterRanieriII]

his respect for nature and wisdom with the important aspects of life put him in another league of true sportsmen

[@dankimzeke06]

Thanks Andy and Nicky...what an epic podcast! I lived in Miami in the 60’s as a boy and grew to love inshore saltwater fishing with my dear dad who passed last year. Dad and I watched Walker Cay Chronicles together and loved it. The history of fly fishing in south Florida during that period was phenomenal. Anglers like Flip, Lefty, Chico, and many others were true pioneers in the sport, and those of us who do it today have benefited from their vast knowledge. Keep em’ coming!

[@randallmiller572]

❤️what a wonderful man that all of us outdoorsmen should aspire to be like.

[@bobnery]

These Millhouse podcasts are national treasures.

[@bryantydings3467]

The best thing about this is flip is utsta hearing this every day is the cardinal

[@The_Preacher_LLC]

Growing up as a kid who had no idea about flats fishing….I absolutely loved his show. Never missed an episode. Awesome story on this podcast

[@jameshazen2907]

I could listen to flip talk all day. Walkers cay is why I started fly fishing. Thanks Andy!

[@tarponcaster]

Still mesmerizing to listen to Flip just like it was the first time I saw Walkers Cay way back. A wise, caring, smart man.

[@Capt.JorgeMoran]

There's non-human on Earth I relate more than to Flip Pallot. Thanks for such an amazing sit down with him.

[@garybarrere7552]

I am 72 and well realizing the finish line is close. I had cervical surgery 18 months ago. I have some walking issues and balance. They are not totally gone but challenged. I have a 21’ bay boat I share with my son and grandson. I can get on the frond deck with a hand. I am ok until chop comes then need a leaning seat. I am perfectly happy on the deck. My son and grandson push me to stay up on the deck. I could fish alone but cannot get out the boat over the front during loading process. I have watched all I could of your adventure since my early years God bless Flip for taking me on so many adventures.

[@singlespeed1973]

He certainly doesn’t understand the impact he made on many young and old fly fisherman. So many years of watching...I feel like I really know him. Thanks for the interview. Jeff Varner

[@randyvining8101]

he knows but is humble .... Same as Andy

[@suhwateezea.214]

This kind of attitude and perspective is what I need to get back to in life. Going to get back into nature

[@biffnolan9668]

Would give everything to spend a day on the water with this guy, absolutely loved this episode.

[@AAE-cg1il]

Watching Andy, Phil, and a host of others is what got me inspired to fish…….

[@sekaikiroku304]

Another great one. I would not have guessed 77. Flip and Steve are not human! And neither is Andy. They all are wonderful role models for the rest of us wanting to fish and hunt as long as possible. I agree that any land given up by Big Sugar should be purchased by the state and/or federal government. The archery discussion was fascinating and I'm not even an archer. Keep 'em coming!

[@millhousepodcast]

Thank you! We will talk more about archery in the future podcasts. It seems as though there are many people that are very intrigued with archery, which is so great!

[@christinawarnstedt5517]

Simple wisdom and exponential life lessons! This just truly makes my heart happy!

[@isaacenglish414]

Great episode. All outdoors people should be required to watch this. Andy and Flip are both class acts. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing more episodes/podcasts.

[@millhousepodcast]

Thanks Isaac! Appreciate the kind words!

[@rayditzenberger9517]

Stu Apte, Lefty, Flip, were my heros and still are at 76yr old. I have never taken the chance to do the inshore fly fishing that i adore. I still fish gills and smb and dream of the inshore salt fly fishing.

[@Saltfly]

From my very earliest memories till I was about 7or8 Walkers cay was this mythical place that I would hear my dad talk about with my uncles and his close friends. And how he would every once in a while disappear for a week every now and then to this mysterious place. Making that run in a 20’ Grady white with a 135 Johnson. I always had one of those “it’s better in the Bahamas” t shirts for my entire childhood. I couldn’t wait to watch the show every week.

[@xxROEVYxx]

I f**king love flip! You guys did great with this. Really meant alot to all of us.but!……I think we are all too afraid out of respect to call flip out on the helical part of the ar heart conversation haha great stuff guys thank you so much 🙏

[@ampmn00]

Such a chillaxing podcast.. Love it. Knowledge and smooth voice.. Flip is so easy to listen to.

[@tashaberzal7981]

what a great episode , what a humble man

[@Dnmorris49]

What a natural outdoorsman. Truly enjoys And appreciations God’s world. This is what God expected us to do. I enjoy his narration of SEC “ Saturday’s In The South” He is the best natural storyteller.

[@birddog3000]

Amazing, thank you Flip, Thank you Andy .

[@TillerMicroSkiffs]

To live fully in the moment provides exhilaration that ties us to our present, and for many it's the only part of life worth living for...

[@skinnywaterlures]

Excellent episode

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

My allll time favorite fisherman!!! The walkers cay chronicles was my inspiration!!!

[@peterferlitto5945]

Absolute living Legand! Me and all my friends grew up watching walkers cay chronicles. My friends dad was a guide in biscayne bay and Islamorada Capt. Ken Collette who took us fishing as young kid the rest is history!

[@leonardjanda6181]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄, I watched this yesterday again, got hooked on walker’s, boy that’s a 25 or more year’s ago lol 🎄🎄🎄🎄🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@03bonneville]

So great to hear Flip interviewed in his domain. I admire that he took his road!

[@millhousepodcast]

Me too.. It was so special to do this podcast in his garage filled with racks, airboats, and arrows!!

[@waterfrontbeaufort]

Another good one.......good to see the veneer stripped to get through to the heart of the matter.

[@millhousepodcast]

Thank You! Flip is a true gentleman. It was great to hang with him and touch on topics that is near and dear to his heart.

[@jtrealfunny]

I've watched a lot of these Mill House interviews and they are great. One thing I usually want to hear more about is the anglers relationship with the natural world, if you talk about someones ecological efforts I am probably supportive but if you talk about someones fascination and love of their waters I will be engaged. Fundamentally these are people fascinated by figuring out a whole system of animal behavior in incredible dynamic environments like the keys or the everglades, watched it intimately over years and years, and I wish that got more value in the conversations.

[@gofishmichigan8812]

This is an invaluable service you both are providing, interviewing all these icons. It is very much appreciated. Nikki, I see one interview that has yet to be done that I feel is equally as important for his contribution to fishing and as an American icon. That is your dad. The story of Andy Mill needs to be told as well. In many respects, Andy's life is, even more, a microcosm of the American experience and as such is important to be brought to an existing and new audience.

[@larrykelly442]

Andy, this is a great interview. I just now discovered your Podcast and I can't wait to see more. You and your son are doing an incredible job of getting fishing Legends to share very personal parts of their lives that no one would ever know. Thanks Andy

[@davescheer5038]

I can't believe I haven't seen this till today , I watched him when he started his shows and he's a large part on why I moved to Florida some 30 years ago, I'm listening to flip describe his journey and our lives have a really uncanny similarity flip has about 4 or 5 years on me , I'm really kicking myself because I had a chance to meet him at one of the local tackle shops and missed out ,I would have liked to thank him for the inspiration he injected into me even to this day, ya flip your on my bucket list .

[@peterverchick5188]

"They will never get it" Andy about Elk skinning "They don't know what it was to restore it" Flip about the Everglades. Very true statements that are sad at the same time.

[@millhousepodcast]

Yes it is... Thanks for watching, Peter.

[@iTkGaming20]

Been looking for content on Andy and flip. Andy I listened to you on April Vokeys podcast talking about tarpon. I am beyond obsessed with tarpon and that’s an issue because I live in Missouri. So it’s awesome to see you having a podcast. Even more epic is the guys you are interviewing. Flip is a legend.

[@millhousepodcast]

Thanks Anthony! Yea, I"m feeling your pain, but it'll get worse once your first hundred pound fish bites your bug and jumps out of the water. It changed my life, I didn't sleep for the next 12 years!

[@familiarwatersfishing3914]

Absolutely love it. 2 Legends. Follow your heart. Great advice! Keep up the great work.

[@billpayne9006]

Really enjoying this series so far. Mr. Mill, you and you son clearly come very well prepared and your questions, both prepared and off the cuff, are interesting and insightful. Thank you for making this. I was trying to think of someone to recommend for an interview, and the first couple of people I thought of were sadly no longer with us. Lefty and Jose. I fished with an interesting guide that fished the keys for many years and put me on my first (and only to date) big tarpon on a fly. His name was Rick Bouley. Last time I saw him he was guiding out of the panhandle. I don’t think he ever guided anyone to a world record, but he loved fly fishing for tarpon and had some pretty good stories about learning to guide in key west in the 70s and 80s.

[@millhousepodcast]

Hey, Bill thanks for the kind words. Lefty and Jose was both incredible people. Miss them... Great thanks for the recommendation, i'll look into Rick. Love hearing those old time stories... Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying!

[@chiphill4856]

Thanks for making this content for the rest of us. Long time fan of Andy and of Flip!

[@joelaslanian1121]

This was great! You guys touched on a lot of topics that hit home with me. Im a fishing guide over in Gunnison CO. You three are all invited to come fishing with me. Green Drake dries out of the boat for Nicky and Andy. Flip we will get you off the beaten path to some of the nooks and crannies I need to get back to. I even got a dozen flies tied for today while taken in your conversation. Keep it up!

[@millhousepodcast]

Thanks Joel! Glad you enjoyed this episode and that invitation is very kind!! We did a three day trip last year on the Gunny and it was an amazing experience. Didn't get the hatch but was still special!

[@ronaldjohnson7753]

Flip is a national treasure.

[@IslandLifeFishing]

Always great to see Capt Flip!

[@jimelmore9728]

Great video. There are no magic pill solutions to the water quality problems in Florida, but the SJRWMD, FDEP and 1/2 cent lagoon tax is helping fund needed projects. You can’t fix 50 years of abuse overnight. But good things are happening.

[@robertmyrick4233]

Just awesome! Thanks

[@devlincatcher]

Great interview. Thanks for uploading and sharing.

[@millhousepodcast]

Thanks, Ian!

[@fishwithandy]

That was Great , what an Incredible Legend

[@bobsartor5559]

The King!

[@MangrovesToMountainsOutdoors]

Great interview Andy and Nick! Flip has been an inspiration to me as a traditional archer and fly-fisherman. Top notch guys!

[@chrisgarcia8920]

You should do Barry Meyer he’s a true legend in the keys !!

[@bonefishbrad270]

Incredible podcast!

[@millhousepodcast]

Thanks, Brad!!

[@user-vp8sd4qd1x]

We need a Chico part 2!!!!

[@Xray.71]

Awesome video!

[@craigfuqua4519]

Great conversation gentlemen. Thank you

[@woolybugger9429]

Flip is such a modest man... And for that reason I dont know if he would agree with what im about to say next... But they just dont make em like Flip anymore...

[@marvinpierce2636]

MORNING FLIP IVE TRULY MISSED YOU AND YOUR PUBLICATIONS . TOO MANY MANGO SEASONS HAVE COME AND GONE, YET HERE WE ARE I WISH WE COULD HAVE SPENT SOME TIME TOGETHER. SUE AND I ARE NOW LIVING IN OCALA LIVING WITH OUR VISIONS OF YEARS GONE BY. BETTER THAN MOST. I FEEL TRULY BLESSED. SLIPPING IN THE BACK DOOR TO 80.A LOT OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES COLLECTED AND STORED YET KEPT CLOSE AT HAND.TOUCH BASE WITH ME IF YOU GET A MOMENT.

[@marcpauly8699]

Great interview!

[@devlincatcher]

Next up, try Stu Apte. At some point, you may want to have an example of the old school and new school together to discuss the changes over time and how things evolved over the decades. And see how they perceive each other’s generations and in different eras of fishing and fisheries. One of the 70+ age (Steve Huff, Flip, Stu, Sandy, Chico, Rick Ruoff etc), and one of the 25-35 or so year old new generation angler or guide that is universally respected. It could gives us all new insight about the past, present, and future. That has not been done yet.

[@millhousepodcast]

We have done an episode with Stu and it will air sometime soon. He was great. Really appreciate the feedback and I completely agree with you. That would be a fantastic podcast. Thanks so much, Ian.

[@devlincatcher]

I enjoyed listening to these so much. I could listen to Steve Huff and Flip Pallot forever. So much has changed over the years. The fisheries, the environments/habitats, the fishing pressure, newer techniques and strategies, the boats, the tackle, the amount of choices of gear, the advent of smartphones, mobile internet, various social media platforms, texting etc. And this is why it might be good to have the best young and old compare notes and observations of the changes in a podcast. Listing the changes between say 1960-2020.

[@millhousepodcast]

@@devlincatcher I agree. That one might be 3 or 4 hours long but it will be gold! Ha!

[@shallowcaster]

At 53 am I to old to be considered for the Flip Pallot mentor program? I am proficient at poling a skiff and have never been late to the ramp.
