We caught up with Nick Benik—better known online as @photographicflytyer—a Denver-based creator who's blending razor-sharp fly tying with studio-level photography. I’ve always believed the best anglers are storytellers too, and Nick’s journey from Evergreen, Colorado to Florida, Nashville, and back again is proof that the current will always pull you back to where you belong. Between juggling fatherhood, a full-time gig, and growing his creative presence, Nick’s found a way to elevate the art of fly fishing with a lens and a vise. We sat down to talk about his roots, his fly tying evolution, and what’s next for him on the water and behind the camera.

We caught up with Nick Price somewhere between salt and sky, as he wrapped up a trip to Cuba and looked ahead to his next adventure in Argentina. Nick’s one of those rare folks who lives at the crossroads of fly fishing and fine art—guiding clients down Western rivers one day, and chasing light through a lens the next. He’s got a deep respect for the places and people that define this lifestyle, and it shows in every frame he shoots. From the high desert of Idaho to the gaucho traditions of San Antonio de Areco, Nick brings a storyteller’s heart and a guide’s grit to everything he does. We sat down to talk about his journey, his gear, and what keeps him coming back to the water with camera in hand.

There’s a certain kind of magic down in Chilean Patagonia — the kind that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. I caught up with Joaquin, a lodge manager-turned-fly-fishing-guide whose first cast on the Puelo River changed everything. With just four years under his belt, he’s already carved out a deep love for chasing trout in some of the most remote and powerful waters on Earth. We sat down to talk dry flies, backcountry tips, and the kind of moments you only find waist-deep in the rapids with a 25-inch brown on the line. This one’s for those who know — and those who want to.

We caught up with Josh—a rising name in Colorado’s stillwater fly scene—after hearing whispers about a guy chasing tiger musky on the front range and logging serious alpine miles. I’d seen the passion in his lake posts and wanted to know what really lit the fire. From stalking carp in city ponds to hiking deep into the hills for high-country gold, Josh’s fly fishing story is the kind that reminds you why we do this in the first place: the grind, the solitude, and those small windows of reward that make the whole thing worth it. Here’s what he had to say.
