In this episode, we sit down with Michael Letchworth of Fox Hollow Outdoors, a brand and outdoor movement built on something deeper than just fishing and hunting—it’s about legacy.

Michael shares the story behind Fox Hollow Outdoors, a father-and-son journey that started with time in the woods and on the water and has grown into a lifestyle rooted in family, tradition, and the outdoors. What began as simple moments together has evolved into a platform that celebrates real adventures, authentic storytelling, and the kind of lessons you can only learn outside.

We talk about raising kids in the outdoors, why those experiences matter more now than ever, and how intentional time together can shape not just skills—but character. From early mornings chasing fish to shared meals after a hunt, this conversation is a reminder of what it really means to pass something down to the next generation.

If you care about the outdoors, your family, and making memories that last, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Dads on the Fly, we sit down with renowned sporting artist Paul Puckett to talk about the journey that led him to combine his love for fly fishing and art into a career. Growing up fishing with his grandfathers in Texas and later working in fly shops across the country, Paul found a way to turn the moments we all love on the water into paintings that tell a story.

We talk about how travel, family, and time on the water have shaped his life, why certain fishing memories stay with us forever, and how creativity often comes from simply paying attention to the places and people around us. Paul also shares stories from his adventures around the world, what inspires his famous “catch and release” paintings, and how being a dad influences the way he looks at both art and fishing.

This episode is about more than art or fly fishing — it’s about slowing down, making memories, and learning to appreciate the moments that matter most.

In this episode of Dads on the Fly, we sit down with Oliver White — world traveler, lodge owner, conservationist, and devoted dad — to talk about where fly fishing has taken him and what it’s taught him along the way.

From building legendary destinations like Abaco Lodge and South Fork Lodge, to co-founding Indifly and helping empower indigenous communities through sustainable fly fishing tourism, Oliver shares stories of adventure, risk, and purpose.

But this conversation goes beyond remote rivers and saltwater flats. We talk about fatherhood, raising kids in the midst of global travel, and how becoming a dad reshapes ambition, priorities, and the meaning of success. Oliver opens up about the tension between chasing wild places and staying rooted at home — and how those two worlds don’t have to compete.

Whether you’re dreaming about your next fishing trip or simply trying to be more present with your family, this episode will challenge you to think differently about adventure, legacy, and the waters that shape your life.

Happy New Year from Dads on the Fly! We’re starting 2026 with a fun and meaningful interview with Justin Ravenel of Ravenel Fishing Charters.

We also dig into life as a fishing guide, raising kids around the water, and Justin’s go-to secret for keeping kids engaged on the boat—featuring a little bit of treasure hunting.

If you love fishing stories, family legacy, and practical ideas for getting kids excited about time on the water, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Dads on the Fly, Joshua and Caleb catch up on life, fishing, and fatherhood as the cold weather settles in. The guys talk through recent winter fishing conditions, including how cold temps change both strategy and expectations on the water.

Caleb shares the story of what might be the best ever boat ramp fish and the unmatched joy of putting friends on the fish of their lives. The conversation then turns reflective as they look back over the past year, celebrating some wins as dads and acknowledging the growth that comes through both success and challenge.

They wrap up by looking ahead to future fishing opportunities and the seasons still to come—on the water and at home. It’s an honest, laid-back episode about friendship, perspective, and why fishing continues to be such a powerful connector for dads.

What happens when you get a narrow window to fish—even if it’s painfully cold? You go. Caleb and Joshua recount a frigid float packed with fish, brotherhood, and one swimmer whose choices still baffle them. They also share a few tips for staying effective (and alive) in winter conditions. A fun, frosty episode you won’t want to miss.
