The Bighorn is Back with Scott Brown
10/10/24 • 85 min
Our destination is the legendary Bighorn River with expert fly angler and guide, Scott Brown, owner of Brickhouse Browns, Sheridan, WY. The Bighorn has had its ups and downs, but the Bighorn is back in a big way, fishing better than ever. Here anglers will find great numbers of big trout who often feed like there’s no tomorrow.
Scott was born and raised in Sheridan playing sports, hunting, and fishing in the Bighorn Mountains. He soon became obsessed with fly fishing, spending 250 to 300 days a year on the water. After a stint in an open pit coal mine, Scott ditched the hard had for a fly rod to guide full-time on the Bighorn.
Today Scott gives us the rundown on the world-renowned tailwater in Montana, the canyons of Thermopolis, and the headwaters in the Wind River Range. Plus, best wade sections, stories of close calls with rattlesnakes, and a guide story so gross you’ll hate to love it.
With host, Steve Haigh

Jaguars, Tapirs, and Golden Dorado in Bolivia with Marcelo Perez
Our destination is the remote Tsimane region of Bolivia in pursuit of the savage and powerful Golden Dorado with Marcelo Perez, founder, and CEO of Untamed Angler and the Tsimane Lodge. The Tsimane region sits at the base of the Andes mountains, hundreds of miles from civilization, where mountain streams run clear and fast, and fly anglers can sight-cast for voracious Dorado reaching upwards of 40 lbs.
Marcelo grew up in Argentina fishing the jungles for Dorado and found his passion in building remote jungle fly fishing lodges. Join us as Marcelo explains why Dorado should be on every fly angler's bucket list and the incredible story of how he created the Tsimane Lodge. Also, stories of the native Tsimane people, giant Pacu, and hundred-pound Maturo on the fly. Could this be the best Dorado fishing on the planet? You be the judge!
