Show Notes
Episode 165 of the Destination Angler Fly Fishing Podcast – February 26, 2026
Imagine a summer where the camper van becomes home, and the hatch chart dictates where you sleep?
Our destination is the American West with John and Karen Kreft, of Riverkeeper Flies, who share their hatch-driven philosophy, their top-producing dry fly patterns, and what they've learned from life on the road — designing flies and chasing trout throughout the American West from the Green River to the Madison, the Upper Columbia, and beyond.
With host Steve Haigh.
