<p class="MsoNormal">Our destination is Part 2 with legendary Colorado guide, author, and trout teacher Pat Dorsey—owner of the Blue Quill Angler and perhaps the foremost expert on the South Platte. Pat dials it up a notch or two in this episode, sharing his go-to fly patterns, fly design insights, and strategies for fly fishing new water. We dig into questions like: How fast should you fish? Why does Pat love indicators? And what makes a fly truly innovative?</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You'll also hear stories of drift boat weddings, the origin of the Mercury Midge, and Pat’s first-ever guide trip. Stick around for a quick chat with one of Pat’s longtime clients—and a surprise about what’s next for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Let’s rig up the indicator rod and jump in with Pat!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">With host, Steve Haigh</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Be the first to know about new episodes. </strong> <a href= "https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com">Become a subscriber</a><strong> </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Destination Angler on</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationAnglerPodcast"><strong> YouTube</strong></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Contact Pat:</strong> <span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href= "https://bluequillangler.com/">https://bluequillangler.com/</a> |<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <a href= "mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> |<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <strong>Instagram</strong> @patdorseyflyfishing & <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/pat.dorsey.1232"><strong>Facebook</strong></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Destination Angler Podcast: </strong></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><a href= "https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com"><strong>Website</strong></a></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationAnglerPodcast"><strong>YouTube</strong></a></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/destinationanglerpodcast/"><strong>Instagram</strong></a> <strong>&</strong> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/DestinationAnglerPodcast"><strong>Facebook</strong></a> @DestinationAnglerPodcast </li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Please check out our Sponsors:</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://gotfishing.com/"><strong><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Got Fishing</span></strong></a><strong><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Crafting world-class fly-fishing adventures specially designed to your level of experience and budget. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Facebook</strong> @GotFishingAdventures <strong>Instagram</strong> @GotFishing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://troutroutes.com/"><strong><span style= "font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">TroutRoutes</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">The number one fishing app, helping trout anglers avoid the crowds and explore new public water. <a href= "https://troutroutes.onelink.me/NvfJ/4snq0k9j"><strong>Download it and</strong></a> <strong><u>receive 20% off</u></strong> using <strong>Destination20</strong> promo code in the app store today!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Facebook</strong> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/troutinsights">@troutinsights</a> <strong>Instagram</strong> @TroutRoutes <strong> </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><a href= "https://www.adamsbuiltfishing.com/">Adamsbuilt Fishing</a> </strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal">THE trusted source for quality fly fishing gear, built to last at an affordable price.
