Our 2500 Mile ROAD TRIP Begins | FLY SHOP TOUR - Ep. 1

Welcome to The Fly Shop Tour!
In September of 2022, we set across the Rocky Mountains on a 2500 Mile Road Trip visiting & fishing with local Fly Shops. Our Mission? To highlight small businesses that drive the sport we love: Fly Fishing! Along the way, we got a chance to host meetups in every state - all with the goal to raise money for local conservation organizations & meet some of our fans.
Follow us as we tell the story of 12 unique fly shops, fish the waters surrounding their area, and make our way throughout the Rocky Mountains.

The guys at St Pete's in FoCo are the best. I've learned so much from them. Support Local. Can't wait to graduate and get back into it hard. St. Pete's will be my first stop.

[@FlylordsMedia]

Hell yeah!

[@annmolynzissu3187]

Support local!! ❤

[@jdizzle2987]

Love it! Stabilizing would be good for viewing pleasure 😊

[@Overlandjourneys]

Great video , would be much better if cameras have better stabilization 🙏

[@FlylordsMedia]

Promise the episodes get even better ( :

[@realco50]

St. Pete’s will always be my fly shop. The absolute best.

[@FlylordsMedia]

Love those guys

[@SimmsFishingProducts]

Great work guys!

[@FlylordsMedia]

Thank you!

[@chrisruef9221]

Shout out to Rick, at the Fly Fishing Specialties window sticker

[@monicaauger8455]

Y’all killed it!!!

[@fredkirk6967]

Love seeing and learning the history of the fly shops I’ve visited. Yall need to get over to Gunnison, Basalt, Crested Butte, Durango…so many more to visit. I’ll be watching. Great Job!

[@TheFriguy]

Keep Alex, He's one of the best videographers in the biz. 🤙

[@FlylordsMedia]

He is the best isn't he.

[@melchurch3019]

When I travel I try to hit all the fly shops I can find. St. Pete's helped me out with information, a guide book and fly tying supplies. Fun video, thanks.

[@mikemckenna8530]

Good stuff...great shops!

[@gregoneal1]

Cool video, but what’s up with the constant zooming in and out at Blue Quill?

[@TroutBandits]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jacobessig9291]

This is awesome

[@connordiaz1125]

St. Pete’s is the best shop. Jin sold me my first fly rod when I was about 10 years old. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Thanks for all you do St. Pete’s

[@FlylordsMedia]

That is awesome! The exact reason we wanted to highlight local shops.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Awesome 👊🏻

[@richardbarclay9095]

Awesome, loved watching this :)

[@burkeylynnadventures]

Really cool and worthy idea to travel and highlight the local fly shops! My local go to shop is Cutthroat Anglers. Great fly shop w great guys, easy to talk to and always very helpful. I take all my out of town fishing guests to Cutthroat and we always walk out with more gear and flies!

[@FlylordsMedia]

Appreciate it, love the Cutthroat crew!

[@Trailstostreams]

Awesome video guys!!!

[@FlylordsMedia]

Appreciate it, stay tuned for the rest of the season!

[@soy_el_Cesar]

I saw a Troutsflyfishing sticker on the ride!!!!!

[@joecalifornia1579]

Love the content! But dude the shaky filming is enough to give me motion sickness!!!!

[@ph1shstyx]

The story of Ben's father with the melanoma will get me on my soap box a bit, as a group that does spend a fair amount of time in the sun at high altitude, visit a dermatologist and get a skin check. By brother at 32 had a mole biopsied off of his back that was found to be an early stage 1 melanoma, and was removed cleanly. It's one of those that if it isn't caught early, there's not a whole lot you can do.

[@whipfinishflyco]

The guys at St.Pete’s are great! Can’t leave out the south shop! Shout out to all the boys Aaron, Corey, and Thomas 🔥 🔥🔥1

[@FlylordsMedia]

Some of the best!

[@jdigioia1130]

Great video fellas! Shout out to my local shop, St. Pete’s. 🥳🎣

[@FlylordsMedia]

🤙

[@dankochanek8056]

Blue Quill Angler is one of the raddest shops on the Front Range. Well done gents!!

[@FlylordsMedia]

We agree!

[@stuartforsyth4279]

Oh wow, I fly fish in Scotland, I definitely need to come there 😀

[@naturalverities]

Come for the fishing, stay for the amazing variety of local brews! Try some stillwater too; high mountain lake monster cutthroats await you up on the Continental Divide.

[@SevenBrokenBar]

That is one of my favorite shops hands down, Cutthroat Anglers. I go there all of the time when I’m staying in Frisco.

[@FlylordsMedia]

Love to hear it!

[@josephberney]

Ben at cutthroat is the best!

[@leapingsilver6112]

We call it an LDR =Long Distance Release!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice . I lived in CO for over 40 years it was good to these shops still around and doing good . I still have a cabin by Deckers and fish there and use to see Pat in the canyon for years ,but there is so much water in CO that it would be hard to cover it all in a lifetime and there are so many shops throughout the state it would take months to check them all out . I Live in MT now and can’t wait to see the shops you stop by . Thanks for sharing and helping support our passion. Happy Trails

[@FlylordsMedia]

Pat is a legend! It was an honor to watch a master at work. We will check back to see if we stopped by your favorite shops in Montana too.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

@@FlylordsMedia you did I saw in the beginning of the video Madison river fishing company. I live in Ennis :-)

[@jaymill9036]

If you guys end up back in Summit County … Jackson Streit’s shop Mountain Angler in Breckenridge is a must. I’ve fished with them for a couple decades in the summer months on vacation and have loved the experience.

[@FlylordsMedia]

We will have to stop in and say hey next time we are over there. We will tell them you sent us!

[@jdizzle2987]

Oooooo Blackwell 🎉🎉

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Very cool video! New follower here. Well done. Crow✌️

[@FlylordsMedia]

Welcome aboard!

[@jakearmijo]

Thomas is my guy! Chicago representative! I moved to Fort Collins from Chicago. Awesome video!

[@FlylordsMedia]

We love Thomas

[@BobBMI]

Love the content, but man, steadier video please. Also please check spelling "raffel" and "Pewter"...should be "raffle" and "Poudre", I believe. Would be nice to see all the work at a high level. Look forward to seeing more.

[@smallbombsstudio]

Tochterman's in Baltimore ... since 1916 ... family owned ... lefty kern bought his first fly rod there

[@willposton4644]

Yewww

[@eprohoda]

how’s life?-guy~ total great video- 😍

[@ethanovenell2173]

Nice, I’ve fish burnt areas that had beautiful native cutthroat

[@FlylordsMedia]

Wild scenery right!?

[@jimmyd4166]

Great content, but is it too late to image stabilize? Can’t wait for PA!

[@FlylordsMedia]

Still getting the hang of this whole KZbin thing haha. The episodes are only going to get better, stay tuned

[@foxfiresurvival387]

Do a video on that van!

[@patagonialuke]

Oh man I miss St. Pete’s and Ted’s Place

[@adamw8469]

Best fly shop I’ve ever been to is Bears Den, Taunton, Mass. In Europe, best fly shop is Fly Fishing Masters, Malmö, Sweden

[@finefishing3560]

Hey are you guys going to go through New Mexico?

[@davideveritt6685]

John's Fly Materials and Angling Sports in London👍

[@FlylordsMedia]

London, ON?? A Canada tour would be epic.

[@davideveritt6685]

@@FlylordsMedia Yep. The south west of the province has some trout fishing if you know where to go but the bass fishing is great. Bring the 6wt, 7wt, and a box of bass flies.

[@stephandlevisadventures5332]

Love it! But was “Pewter” actually supposed to be “Poudre” at 20:12? Asking for a friend… ;)

[@FlylordsMedia]

Glad you loved it! You're right, let's blame that on the "Monday's"...

[@tedlangevin8141]

Can you do an episode on the Van?!!!!

[@FlylordsMedia]

That would be awesome, we love the van

[@benfoley1344]

@flylords huge fan of your channel and your content! Any gift cards still available for flies???

[@FlylordsMedia]

We will be Anoucing the winner of the gift card for people not in Colorado at the end of the week. If you are In Colorado, go give the shops a visit to find out!

[@lachumbley]

This is a great video...your camera work is killing me tho. Hold it still

[@TroutBandits]

Yeah exactly terrible. Zooming in and out

[@Nrussell11]

What was Pat's rig?

[@smallbombsstudio]

excuse me Lefty Kreh

[@huntertaberna3805]

What is the name of Pats fly box?

[@FlylordsMedia]

I think we can just call it legendary.

[@curtkautsch]

I got sea sic watching this.

[@bryanjelinski8036]

St Petes did u dirty. They took you to the community swimming hole. Literally. They must not have liked your vibe. They have access to multiple waters within 30 minutes of the shop that you can catch true trophy bows and browns. I mean the real deal. I won't tell how long or heavy these fish are. You wouldn't believe me. It's not uncommon to get spooled. I was surprised that you didn't swing in and fish Grey Reef. You drove right past it on your drive to Sheridan when you were in WY. Massive fish live there. I mean Massive...

[@F15Bluto]

Or maybe better not to burn that on KZbin?

[@TroutBandits]

Not the best filming... Good editing though. Quit zooming in and out, too much shake as well.

[@vickvinegar5071]

The cameraman has to to chill out with the shakiness and constant zooming in and out. I’m literally nauseous watching this. Calm down.
