This to me was the best podcast of 2024. I was so bummed when it ended. More of stuff like this guys. Hearing it from the "Beaver" just amazing stuff. Looking forward to visiting again the Slide Inn next year.. Thanks for sharing your adventures of the past up to 2024. 2025 will be awesome!! Happy New Years!!
Good podcast! Johnnie brings a lot to the podcast. Kelly and Johnnie seem to be on the same wavelength and complement each other on issues discussed. Suggest maybe Johnnie be a regular on the podcast. 👍
The man , myth and legend “JONNY”. He guided me and my brother on a bright sunny fall day . We wanted to throw streamers and let’s say Jonny worked his A off Did 2 floats and he showed us what to do when fishing wasn’t great. Learned so much and to this day is my favorite guided day ever.
I was one of Johnny’s first clients, I have been fishing with him ever since. We have been all over the Madison and other rivers and I won’t fish with anyone else. Such a great person, guide and friend.
Great show! Been visiting the Slide Inn every summer for the past 20 years. Love the waters, shop, and the people we meet every year. Take care and HNY!
Best fishing channel on RUclips. Got me fishing streamers this winter on the truckee, which, in the past, I’d nymph this time of year. I’m probably the only guy wading that river with a streamer max quite frankly. Anyway, just today, i was doing my thing, walking and wading trying to figure this thing out.. got an alleged bump maybe once about 1.5-2 hours in with a bastardized stacked blonde i tied up earlier. Nearing the end, I make a 30 ft cast to the opposing bank when an absolute pig attacks the thing like a dry fly! The volume of water it moved, I had never seen anything like it. And this didn’t just happen once, but 3 times on 3 back to back casts to the same spot. I hooked into him the third try but he got off and took off. Incredible. There is truly nothing like hunting down a pig and provoking that kind of violence, even without landing anything. Seriously dount I’ll be nymphing for a while 🤣.
I think this is what a pod cast should be. A way for those of us that can't be there to listen to conversations amongst friends about a topic we are all interested in. Loving it so far! Hunt the Fly!
Great subject. I call it the "Any, Many, BIG" progression most fly fisherman go thru. Glad to see Johnnie get some screen time. Glad he mentioned Mike Seim. There are a handful of tireless guides in that area like Mike was like Pope. One thing a guide gets is to see a lot of people fish. For people who do not guide I suggest trying to fish with all kinds of people. You never know what style or technique you might pick up. Maybe a lifetime friend too. Share you knowledge with those who will take it. Also great to see Kelly telling stories and laughing. Really respect him. It is not easy running a small business. He has done a absolute miracle with the Slide Inn. It was his dream and he got it done. Kinda like the subject of this podcase. Keep em coming.
I owned two fly shops in the 70s and early 80s…I don’t recall bobbers even being around. All we had was cortland nymph tip lines. Today all the guys I fish with want to fish only bobbers, so refreshing to hear you guys talk.
Absolutely love the pod casts and this is awesome! I love how these are not scripted and just guys talking about fishing and flipping each other tons of shit. The authenticity is what makes this an awesome pod cast!
LOL. When I was in the shop the last time and Kelly found out my buddy and I were from Southern California, he told us that story about having the LA feed and spending so much time watching the news girls he ended up knowing all the freeways by heart. Good times, keep up the good work.
Had the pleasure of shooting the $h!t briefly with Johnnie at the north slide one afternoon. Wish he was a permanent fixture on the podcast, adds another great layer to it. Great discussion guys, can't wait for the next one.
Really enjoy the pod cast. I would be interested in hearing Kelly's story on how he first came out to the Madison valley and the history behind that, how he obtained the Slide Inn, what his early experiences were with fishing the Madison and running the fly shop/guiding and how that developed over the years. Keep up the good work!
When I was guiding in MT around the turn of the century I had some regular clients in the boat from New York. Super wealthy couple. She said "I think it's so great you can just do this every year. It's got to be the best job in the World." I replied "Yea, but you wouldn't want me marrying one of your daughters". The husband was cracking up. That was my last season as a guide. I watched plenty 25-30 year veteran guides get bitter about the occupation. I knew there was a good chance that could also be me in a couple more decades.
Great episode. Some of my favorite fishing is post holing through 2-3 feet of snow for an hour or so of dry flies on the walk/wade. Now in my 60’s and it’s a bit more challenging but still one of my favorite ways to fish.
You can’t fake loving being a fly guide. It’s pretty simple, a great guide is the talkative, informative guide who is smiling when is conversing with his client
Fun to hear about the past , the Big Horn and the old Madison. I was lucky enough to fish it a few times back then when west Yellowstone was a wild little town with lots of drink , card games and good fishing.
I like the format and enjoy the heck out of conversations. The job of fishing and what revolves around it. We have all chased a dream and sometimes. We are lucky to catch one. Then we chase another. Thank you guys!! Happy New Years-May 2025 be better than 2024!!
Landed my personal best brown yesterday. Not quite a 30” but close, big make. Bull rushed me from the bank. Did a lot of hunting, not hoping, and it paid off. The grind is worth it, especially this time of year.
Great show! I do hope, as the show grows, that the lapel mics go away and you get some good mics intended for audio media, sometimes you look around the room (all of you, not just the "ADD Guy") and we lose what you say. This show makes it's own gravy, and we want to hear it all...🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 Thanks for the content.
I have never heard Kelly or Johnnie talk about fishing bamboo rods. I can see why they might not be great for streamer fishing but what about dry and nymphing as well as the tradition. I can remember the first time I caught a fish on a fly I tied and also the first time I caught a fish on a fly I tied on a bamboo rod I split and made. It’s just another way to keep it exciting. Thanks. Great podcast.
You don't burn out because of what you're doing. You burn out because you forget why you're doing it. Certain experiences will give you a perspective. If you're able to look forward to another fishing day, you've got it all, whether you know it or not.
I would love to hear more about how and why you designed those streamer patterns that swim on their side. I wd also love to hear about your saltwater experiences!
What makes a good guide? The guide who teaches and does not basically fish for the client. The guy who becomes a great fly guy is the guy who learns from a guide with less fish on the end of your line. If you want to get the most out of a guide do a wade trip with a galloup guide. You learn so so much. He is not focused on the boat and getting to the perfect spot, he is teaching you how to truly flyfish
Thank you so much for another great podcast! I have enjoyed listening to Kelly for about two years now and his podcasts have given me more confidence out on the river since. I started to apply Kelly’s streamer techniques not only to fly fishing but spin fishing on the river as well. Casting slightly up river and using multiple retrieves on my spin rod using Rapala’s has given me amazing results on big trout. My question is when I try doing this with my fly rod using streamers I don’t seem to get the same success rate. Could this be with the spin rod you are covering more water or possibly the Rapalas look more intriguing than a streamer? Not trying to start a spin vs fly rod argument but it is noticeable enough to start asking why? Any thoughts on this? Thanks

listening to you guys can make a newer fly fisher, like me, wonder if I have enough time left to learn this wonderful sport. (said tongue in cheek). BUT, I think a good pod cast would be one where you talked about when you start out, learn these 3 things 1st. then learn these 3 things, and so on. I wrestled and my coach (NCAA champ MSU) said you need to learn 1st, these 3 moves. Once you can do them good we will move on to the next 3 things and so forth. So what would you tell a newbie to learn 1st, 2nd 3rd.
There is an historical recollection by Rick Clunn, a Texas based young angler years ago, who recalls catching minnows on a stringer in a ditch alongside his home. The large mouth bass habitat extends right to the edges of saltwater marshlands (the red fish anglers such as Brian Fleshig if they work back far enough into estuary marshland creeks will find themselves in large mouth bass habitat). Or the outer edges of it. Jeremy Wade discovered this in Sweden too, where the freshwater Pike's habitat extended into areas where the water had a low salt content. And as a young man, Rick had discovered a drainage ditch near his home, which connected freshwater drainage systems to saltwater. His stringer of small minnows he was carrying home one day, got attacked by a largemouth bass. In his July, August 1971 old fishing magazine review, he explained how as a youngster he had utilized his shallow ditch as a source of fish, to which he used to populate fish ponds within walking distance. Mark Zona recalled at the opposite end of the continent, a 17 inch smallmouth bass that attacked his bait, when interviewed by Michael Iaconelli this year. Prior to which, Mark's cousins would enjoy themselves standing on the bridge, and poking fun at Mark's attempts to fish beneath. Until one day a 17-inch fish cooperated. Mark explained how important a fish it was to him, and altered his life direction. The point is, both of these young individuals had similar stories about what had connected them to their sport starting out. And how easily, if it had not been for these two respective fish, that both anglers may not have done much fishing at all.
@@miketardiff6995There is no one who says or explains what these angling guides 'in Montana State' are talking about (it's the same thing with construction trades, the initial ten years is a gim'me, where it's plain sailing, and subsequent decades for all manner of reasons are what is a test of endurance and self-discipline), . . than a London based plumber named Bisby. His episode 'Why do we despise the Jack of all trades?' is a perfect reflection of what the Slide Inn podcast contributors are discussing in regards to outdoor recreation industries, technically a branch of Montana's own sustainable tourism industry, where Roger in London talked about his beginings in the plumbing business. And the subsequent chapters of his life. Roger also references Leonardo in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries (1452 to 1519), as someone who continually reinvented his life ambitions or his goals. Scholars who have studied Leonardo's method actually discover something not unlike Kelly's approach, . . Leonardo used to work hard and productively for a few hours, and then program in rest time into his pattern. And maybe it was by some of these methods he was able to re-focus and course-correct, in terms of where he was going. Roger's explanation of the French trades working approachs compare to his approach to project working, is worth the price of admission alone. Skill Builder, that channel features Robin Clevett on carpentry, and various brick layers, specialists of different kinds (the objective of which was to take knowledge accumulated in minds of one older generation, which could be of tangible value to another one). This 'knowledge transfer' process in angling has been debated at length amongst bass anglers (Bradley Hallman, for example 'The sport of bass fishing is changing fast', of August of '23).
Both Rick Clunn and Mark Zona called it a day, as far as their own respective Bassmaster careers went in 2024. And in parallel with this, at the same time we're witnessing a new type of angler emerge in competitive fishing, who have access to a store of learning about this technical sport, as never had existed prior. So it was interesting in listening to both the stories of Rick and of Mark on the Great Lakes, both of these young men kind of lucked into fish early on. At a time in history at which there was still no textbook or no prescribed method for what one should do (Kelly's mention of Flip Pallot on the air mattresses too, is a further illustration of that argument). There was a time at which those who became great anglers, did so by a process of luck or chance, more than anything. Jim Moynagh, a Minnesota based angler, he explained also how little they really knew about catching bass (to the extent to which very few anglers would fish for bass, as it was deemed fairly impossible). That also is reflective of what Kelly talked about, when he explained his discovery of large brown trout, in water that he believed he understood a lot better than he had. Jim Moynagh explains very well that journey of going from 'lack of knowledge' to some knowledge, over his lifetime. And that is mirrored in a lot of other stories of great anglers too.
liked and loved was nice to see johnny on camera. ive seen guides park the boat over a salmon or steelhead bed and doomscroll on their phone while the client works the same 8 feet of river for an hour. Doesnt seem like theres much value in that.
There's guys I have fished with for forty years, their as fishy as an unplowed field.they just don't get it and never will, every day is their first day. Then there's guys that don't talk much and you won't see at crowded places, they do their own thing and if your doin it right you usually end up in the same places. Funniest thing is the fishiest guys I know all look half homeless lol
One aspect of guiding you missed touching on, being a good people person. When things are slow, you have clients that have spent money and have dreamed about this day or maybe a week you need to keep them engaged. Even if you are the best fisherman on the river or hunter on the mountain, if you are a negative person or can't "entertain" the client, their experience sucks. Great longtime guides are generally people persons. IMO
I guess what I learned in this video isn't so much about fishing or even fly fishing it's that no matter how much you love something you can get burnt out. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
I do some euro nymphfishing. I like to compare to it as euro nymphing is like buying prints of good art. True flies are like a picture someone painted from his thoughts. Thoughts are never the same just like a fly with soul, euro nymphs are just one copy of a fly after another. No soul, just mindless wrapping of thread. Catch a lot of fish but mindless

Great episode, need to come fish with this shop.
4:24 Jonnie’s look - verklempt or contempt?? 😂😂🎉🎉
For anglers that are on the water 200+ days a year, how often do you blank?

I would love for you guys to come to Milwaukee. All stock, but people travel here for the Milwaukee river. Curious on thoughts on the waters of it
Video series request: “JOHNNY ties his favorite Kelly patterns”(no offense, Kelly 🤣)
Thanks guys! Happy New Year!
Thoughts on Feather Flicker? Not sure if it's been mentioned yet. Been loving the podcast
I would love to hear more about how and why you designed those streamer patterns that swim on their side.

When something i love becomes work… i think burnout is inevitable.
Johnnie needs to be a regular on here
I really liked the red man story.
Feather Flicker pod cast with Kelly Galloup.
Alright McClure, no grey hair? Still stout enough to row? Piss on you. Maybe I'll fish with you one day.
There's guys I have fished with for forty years, their as fishy as an unplowed field.they just don't get it and never will, every day is their first day.

How about the name “Keepin it Classy with Kelly”!!
The slide inn podcast is the only thing that makes sense. Everything else is just thinking about it too much
One aspect of guiding you missed touching on, being a good people person. When things are slow, you have clients that have spent money and have dreamed about this day or maybe a week you need to keep them engaged. Even if you are the best fisherman on the river or hunter on the mountain, if you are a negative person or can't "entertain" the client, their experience sucks.

How about “the reach cast” because your show sucks! Haha jk lol keep em coming guys! 😂😂😂
And Galloup, I suck way More than you, so keep striving, you'll get there. You have to work at being this shitty.
Was booked with Johnnie twice. Never happened. I thought he was a myth . Hope it happens some day
