Yvon Chouinard & Craig Mathews

Over the course of their nearly 40-year friendship, Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews have had a significant influence on both the culture and activity of flyfishing. Their most recent collaboration is Pheasant Tail Simplicity, a new book coauthored with their friend Mauro Mazzo. The book is part technical treatise, part fly tying manual and part philosophy. Either way, it's well worth a read for anyone interested in flyfishing with a slightly more minimalist point of view. For this conversation I met up with Yvon and Craig in Dillon, MT, a day after their book release event at Montana State University in Bozeman, which took place in a standing room only amphitheater on campus. We chatted about the book, of course, but I also had the opportunity to learn a bit more about their background, including how they met and what they feel they've learned from each other in nearly 40 years of friendship.

Aimee and Chase Bartee

Chase and Aimee Bartee began making films together when they lived in New England, publishing them under the moniker <a href= "https://tightloopsfly.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tight Loops Fly</a> (or simply Tight Loops, depending on where you're looking). Their full length film <a href= "https://www.theflyfishjournal.com/review/the-big-land/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Big Land</a>won best adventure at the fly fishing film awards in 2019, and for the past several years they’ve been working on a series called For Wild’s Sake, which offers in-depth looks at various wild trout species from all corners of the United States. On top of their various film projects, Aimee is a dedicated <a href= "https://www.theflyfishjournal.com/issue_feature/aimee-bartee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">editorial photographer</a>, and Chase is a writer and fine artist known for his exquisitely detailed watercolors of various fish species. Several years ago, the Bartees moved into their Vanagon full-time, and a few years ago made the switch to tricked out expedition rig. After a spring and summer of whirlwind travels that brought them to Greenland, Japan and Mongolia, we were fortunate to catch them at the Bozeman Public Library, of all places. In this episode, we talk about their travels, the challenges of creating art on the road, bear problems in Japan, and what was the final straw in their decision to sell their <a href="https://youtu.be/qh1rYvVLZf4?si=l34Nsn6kSgstYtY2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanagon.</a> Become a <a href= "https://www.theflyfishjournal.com/product/subscription/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">subscriber to The Flyfish Journal</a> for more flyfishing culture, adventure and art.

Will Rice

Will Rice is a freelance writer and podcaster who began his career with the Denver Post in 2003, under the mentorship of acclaimed hook-and-bullet writer Charlie Meyers. His early, travel-focused writing brought him face-to-face with what would become a long-term project: the disappearance of Bahamian flyfishing guide Stanley Bain. In 2018, Rice began hosting Down the Path, a podcast that investigated the disappearance of an angler in Mexico. A second season soon followed, looking into the tragic death of a flyfishing guide and his client in Belize, and Rice eventually returned to the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Bain for the third season of the podcast in 2023. In this episode we chat with Will about his beginnings in journalism, and his decision to start pursuing certain stories in podcast form. Will also shares some thoughts on the frustrations of permit angling, and tells us about the "tequila stuntman."
