In a new episode of the Waypoints podcast, a team of fly fishing travel experts sit down to discuss the current state of fishing travel.

From Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures:

“Season Five of Waypoints launches with a timely and wide-ranging conversation about the current state of global flyfishing travel — and what anglers can realistically expect as they plan trips in 2026 and beyond. Hosted by Jim Klug, this opening episode takes an honest and informed look at the questions, concerns, and trends shaping destination angling right now. From geopolitical headlines and airline disruptions to rising travel costs, trip insurance, changing regulations, and the growing influence of social media and AI, this episode cuts through the noise to focus on what’s actually happening on the ground — and on the water. 

Joining Jim for this season premiere are two seasoned travel experts: Cam Davenport of Eleven Experience and Yellow Dog Flyfishing’s Alec Gerbec. Together, they dive into topics ranging from Mexico safety perceptions and Cuba travel realities to Patagonia wildfire recovery, Western U.S. water conditions, airline logistics, emerging fisheries, and the future of destination angling itself. Whether you’re planning your next big adventure or simply dreaming about where to fish next, this episode delivers practical insight, real-world perspective, and a reminder that despite all the uncertainty in today’s world, the spirit of exploration and flyfishing travel remains stronger than ever.”
