Immerse yourself in the enchanting Driftless region with host Marvin Cash as he sits down with PJ Smith of PJ's Guide Service on The Articulate Fly. PJ divulges the allure of the Driftless Area's spring-fed creeks, home to spirited brown and brook trout and shares his seasoned guidance for mastering these intimate waters.

In this episode, PJ recounts his earliest fishing memories, the pivotal moments that drew him to fly fishing and the mentors who've shaped his approach to angling. He delves into the unique challenges of casting in the Driftless, where thick brush and clear, shallow streams demand precision and stealth. PJ's insights extend beyond the catch, emphasizing the importance of understanding the environment and the subtle interplay of insects and currents.

Listeners will gain a deeper appreciation for the art of guiding as PJ reflects on his journey from part-time passion to full-time guide, his decision to join the ranks of Orvis-endorsed professionals and the realities behind the romanticized life of a fishing guide. With humor and humility, he discusses the balance between teaching, ensuring client satisfaction and the relentless pursuit of those unforgettable days on the water.

Whether you're a novice seeking the thrill of your first trout or an experienced angler looking to refine your technique, PJ's stories and tips are sure to inspire your next fishing adventure in the Driftless or beyond.
