Wet Fly Swing Fly Fishing Podcast

Take the Survey: https://wetflyswing.com/fantasy Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/tube Phil Hayes breaks down ultralight backcountry fly fishing.  He produces the Wilderness Lite float tube which is a good start to your gear list when heading out on a backcountry trip.  We get into most of the gear you need to put together your trip and shed light on what it's all about. Fly Fisherman's Fantasy Survey:  https://wetflyswing.com/fantasy Show Notes with Phil Hayes The Outcast Trinity and CaddisFly Floats tubes are discussed here in comparison to the smaller pack volume of the Wilderness Lite tubes. Phil's journey to his home waters is even further than a previous guest in Rob Snowhite who was on in episode 12. Phil likes the airplane life jackets but there are other alternatives. Here is a backpacking checklist from REI.  You should make your own updated list based on your own needs. The Gregory Paragon is the goto pack for Phil.  I also use an old Gregory pack that I love.  They are super basic and tough.
