Steve,
I’ve been listening for quite a while and I wanted to thank you for your great podcast. I retired at 55, 5 years ago, with the goal of fishing every river in TU’s book Americas 100 Best Trout Streams. I get about 100 river days a year …your show was specifically designed for me… thanks again and keep up the good work.
Great Podcast on the Upper Delaware
Steve did a great job of highlighting the Upper Delaware with your guest Joe Demaraldis. It was a very informative episode and I highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest in this great fishery.
Wonderful podcast
I've loved listening to the destination podcast over the years, and I'm a better angler because of it! "Foam is home", "Fish your rig" and "Follow the food" are all quotes I learned on the podcast. When studying my notes after a long period of no fishing, I'll make sure to repeat these to myself to help get me back in the same headspace. Thanks, Steve. Tight lines.
One of my favorite fly fishing podcast
I’ve been listening to Destination Angler for the past two years and have found them to be a huge resource of practical information, both for within the USA and overseas. Most recent on Penns creek provided what I needed for an awesome trip I made this fall. The Golden Dorado episode was also full of information which mirrored my learnings from several trips to Argentina. Keep them coming. Thanks Steve!
Next Best Thing to Being There
Steve is a credit to his podcasting craft with Destination Angler . For all of us obsessed with fly fishing Steve brings this world to life and delivers it to you home, car or office to enjoy. Steve manages to continually line up the most interesting people who are a part of fly fishingdom and interviews them with the enthusiasm, wonder and curiosity of a student. As a listener it’s a pleasure as he seems to take the questions you have right out of your mouth, and also asks some very insightful questions that likely hadn’t occurred to you. His shows have introduced me to a colorful assortment of knowledgeable people involved with our sport that I’ve learned a great deal from. Only problem is my bucket list of fishing destinations keeps growing and I’ll never get to all of them!
Thanks for the info!
I recently started listening to the podcast and quickly added it to my weekly rotation. There's a lot of good information provided for just about anywhere you can think of.
I sent Steve and email to inquire about wading access and he was quick to respond and provide me with good info and more resources for the areas I was traveling too.
The guy I can relate to
There is just something about Steve that is easy to relate to as I listen to him. He is intelligent and a wonderful conversationalist. Plus, he knows a great deal about the fly fishing leaders of our sport.
Great Podcast!
I’m a fly angler who once spent over 100 days a year on the water. Life has changed a bit lately as we just welcomed our second child into the world a few weeks ago. The late night feedings can be rough. This podcast has helped me feel connected to the sport during this time.
Thank you!

Pat Dorsey, Part 1
My first listen was the Pat Dorsey, part 1 podcast and really enjoyed the conversation. Looking forward to listening to many of the back issues now that I found this podcast!
Inspiring Podcasts
Steve really seems to relate well to his guests who always seem very comfortable. As such, the discussion and stories they share are really interesting and feel very natural, not forced. I've found inspiration in the podcasts and have scheduled trips with two different guide services I "discovered" while listening.
The preparation that Steve puts into the show is obvious and the finished product is outstanding. I've recommended the podcast to several friends who are also enjoying the broadcasts.
Congratulations, Steve.
Great show
This podcast makes you a fishier guy. The guests are amazing and the variety of guests too! Not to mention, Steve hosts the show really well.
No complaints other than I wish there were more. Always look forward to the next one.
Best Fly Fishing Podcast Around
I've been listening to the podcast for a couple of years and absolutely love how accessible, enjoyable and useful the content of every episode I have listened to is. The listener is immersed in an experience that most closely resembles "being there" and learns a lot about the people, waters and region being covered in each episode. Definitely my go to podcast.
Always something new
Steve does a great job bringing listeners to new destinations both near and far. It's a perfect mix of locations and species that show anglers accessible opportunities in their part of the country, and keep them dreaming about the trip of a lifetime. I'm always looking forward to the next episode to see where Steve is off to next.
Great content
I've been listening to this podcast for about a year and have recommended it to my fly fishing friends. Steve does a great job in asking relevant questions about each of the destinations. The content in the podcast is very good, and helpful if you are planning trips to the respective destinations. There are episodes from a variety of places all around the world. I usually listen to the podcast while tying flies, and often times I find myself planning out potential future trips. Tight Lines Steve! Keep it up
Best Podcast Around!
Absolutely love listening to the podcast! Steve does an incredible job bringing the fly fishing community together through The Destination Angler Podcast. His storytelling, expert guests, and deep dives into top fishing destinations make every episode both educational and inspiring. If you love fly fishing, this podcast is a must-listen!
Great Advice
I reached out to Steve to get his recommendation on western destinations to fish this summer after seeing his content on social media. He responded immediately with several options. (Including details to help me in my search). Great resource!
Imagining a bucolic day on the River Test
I loved the podcast with Gille Bait of Fly Odyssey UK (11/23/2023). I re-listend to again 12 months later in 2024 and still enjoyed the adventure. Having forwarded it to several of my English angler buddies I am praying for an invitation to make a date.
Steve has a natural knack of having his guest speakers open up and share their experiences on their waters where ever they practice fly fishing. The guests are practioners with some fabulous insights. He introduces you to wonderful parts of the US and occasionally overseas, a la the hallowed River Test.
The 'Black Hills Stealth' with Hans Stephenson in Rapid City, ND (6/15/2023) lead me to a one of his guides, David Gamet who guided me on a fabulous September day's fishing on the Rapid Creek. Many thanks Steve!
Great Podcast
It’s awesome to listen to all the diverse fly fishing destinations from all over the world! I enjoy dreaming about fishing some of the destinations, but there is also a lot of useful knowledge if your’e looking to plan a trip. Just learning about a new fishery is interesting as well. It’s all covered on this podcast with great guests and an excellent host!
Good information, love listening
Steve always has something good on the podcast dealing with fly fishing and traveling to these places. I always enjoy listening to it.
Love this show!
Great guests and stimulating conversations that take me to places I can't always get to. Every conversation takes me to the joy of being on the water. Thoughtful, funny, and insightful. Keep up the great podcasts Steve & co!

I love the destination angler podcast
This is my all time favorite podcast to learn about new places to fish and explore. My bucket list is growing fast after listening to these shows and learning about new areas that hadn't crossed my mind in the past. I listen to a handful of other flyfishing podcasts and this one is the best! Steve does a great job lining up the best qualified guides/professionals to discuss a certain body of water and always asks the questions that I would ask if I wanted to learn about each area. Whenever I'm on the vise or traveling to a fishing location, I turn on one of these episodes and it gets me even more excited to get out on the water. Steve is also a great and genuine guy himself. I had to pleasure to bump into him in the backcountry of the Wind River mtn range and he's as nice in person to chat with as he is on his shows. Thanks Steve for putting together such a great podcast and hope to bump into you again down the road!
