The second in the series of Flyside Chats. The first episode was with Rob Worthing. Here’s a link for the page where all the Flyside Chats can be found ->> Flyside Chats. The page will continue to populate as new chats come online.
After 2020 I’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from people that I know in the fly fishing world. I’m not the most social of anglers and I do a lot of fishing by myself. But there are a few folks that I get out with and I didn’t get to see most of them in 2020. I didn’t make any trips out of state and I didn’t get out nearly as much as I would have liked to.
So it is with some optimism I am looking forward to 2021 and the fishing that comes with it. Flyside Chats is a going to be series of videos where I try to reconnect with some tenkara and fly fishing folks that I know and hopefully with some new people too. I want to talk to people about what they’re looking forward to exploring in the season(s) ahead.
The second episode features Matt Sment. I first encountered Matt Sment through Badger Tenkara which he co-founded with Mike Lutes. Badger is sadly no longer around but they were a positive force for the growth of tenkara and fixed-line fly fishing in the USA for a number of years. I first met Matt in Wisconsin at the 2nd Midwest Tenkara Fest in 2016 which Badger Tenkara hosted. The Midwest Tenkara Fests where without a doubt my favorite tenkara related events and I sorely miss them.
Matt Sment is now a part of the team over at Tenkara Angler Magazine.
