Tailer Trash Fly Fishing: Recent Episodes
Tailer Trash
Jamieson, Andrew and Wyatt gather virtually to recap a recent trip to Colorado as well as some other fishing in the last few weeks. There's case races, dirty dinner breakfast, rising trout, some huge fly fishing, and a bit more.
Jamieson, Marc and Wyatt sit down around the old oak table once more to dicuss recent expeditions. Wyatt shares the story of his happenings during a sailing trip around the Bahamas , run ins with local wildlife, and his mission to catch a bonefish. Marc and Jamieson recap the morning mission to the center of the sun in search of any redfish that haven't been boiled alive yet, and Marc takes us on a little road trip along the eastern seaboard all the way to the likes of South Dakota. Its a good one, so getcha a roller dog, maybe two and a white monster to wash it down with, kick back and enjoy the listen.
After multiple deliberate attempts to record an episode, Jamieson, Ted, and Andrew gather around the virtual oak table to share some recent fishing stories. Ted shares tales of triggerfish, sailfish, and GT's on the far side of the planet, the process it took to get there, and some of the realities of what it takes to catch a GT.
Ben, Wyatt, Marcus and Jamieson gather round the old oak table once again to talk lagoon trips, sturgeon missions, a friendly challenge, and one of the best mail barges to come up the ICW.
Join us from the future, where the Andrew, Carl, Jamieson, and Marc discover technology and take the show online. In this show Jamie and Mar tell tales of fishing trips on the lagoon with all the shots you could ask for on spooky cracked out redfish. Andrew recaps a recent strike mission to Colorado where it's light on the snow pack but heavy on the fishing. Carl takes us on a journey to the nature coast where all of the tax money is spent on boat ramps but not on developing the beach. Enjoy, and have patience with this added format, I hear audio santa will soon be dropping off a bag full of audio gear to help keep this train on the tracks
Marcus Jamieson and Wyatt sit around a chilly old oak table and take us back to Marcus’s recollection of the glades trip and some end of year fishing, Wyatt’s Swanee survival, and a generational January! Kick back tie some flys and join us around the old oak table!
From the front porch of one of our all time favorite fly shops (The Fly Box) located Bristol, TN, Jamieson Andrew and Wyatt are joined by Forrest Neyman and Corey Smith. We brave the rainy conditions with the help of a couple shop beers, cigars and some world class chili dogs while we recap some of 2025's higher points. We discuss recent fishing endeavors, debate fried chicken options for days on the water and day dream over where we hope to fish in 2026. Pour a whisky, light the fire, and enjoy our ramblings.
Grab a chair and join us for friendsgiving around the old oak table in our new NSB garage podcast studio. There's redfish, there's beer, there's first times and there's a few laughs. Enjoy.
Wyatt Marcus and Jamieson sit down at the chill nsb and look back at a couple months hiatus since Marcus made an appearance, he regaled the boys with his trip to Montana with WQW. Jamieson and Wyatt fished the lagoon before the water got so high. A little gear talk (tailer20 at grundens) and some “fuel issues” and good karma? wrap this one up.

Take a seat around the table with Ben Pickett from Tailer Trash Fly Fishing and Caleb Esparza. Caleb has done quite a lot with his 34 short years on this earth, growing up in New Smyrna Beach he cut his teeth in the surf and out in the Lagoon canoeing and fishing the back waters. Bumming rides from old salty dogs who took him under their wing and showed him the ropes along with cultivating him into a waterman. After a short stint in Miami for lot of fun and a little school, Caleb Joined the Navy where he served for 9 years. He was stationed in California and did some deployments in the Middle East before landing a sweet gig as a small boats and communications trainer in Mississippi, He started guiding in the gulf and rode out the rest of his contract making memories and friends along the way.In 2020 he and his wife welcomed their first daughter into the world and moved back to Florida where he developed into a superintendent specializing in high end residential construction and creating as much time on the water and in the woods as possible.

Ted shares stories from a recent tarpon expedition in the Florida Keys, and there's a healthy dose of group “shoe talk.”They also review the day’s events, including some pre-fishing ahead of “Larrypalooza” and the meetup at the “Wedding Bar.” Plus, we get a glimpse into Wyatt’s origin story and the early days of his fly fishing journey while spending a summer working in Alaska.

A Tailer Trash Fly Fishing Conservation Conversation With Jessy Wayles From One LagoonJoin the cast of Tailer Trash Fly Fishing for a very informative conversation with Jessy Wayles about a myriad of topics related to conservation and restoration work that is being completed in the Indian River Lagoon.Jessy works for One Lagoon, our branch of the National Estuary Program. The organization is a sub-agency funded by The Environmental Protection Agency. Their mission is to coordinate activities related to restoration and conservation efforts in and around the entire Indian River Lagoon. Their jurisdiction spans multiple counties and includes our inland estuary from the Tomoka Basin to the north to Stuart at the south end of the IRL.We learned a lot about the guidelines that are in place for research and the means and methods of how restoration sites are selected and the required monitoring that is part of the grant process.Additionally we discussed tagging programs for horseshoe crabs, sea grass nurseries that recently received funding as well as clam projects that are expanding.We hope you'll listen to the podcast in hopes that you'll better understand activities that you may see that are ongoing in our local waters as well as learn how to be involved in a productive and constructive manner beyond social media.If you have questions for her that were not covered in our chat, feel free to contact her through her email at OneLagoon.com

We’re looking forward to November 7, 2020. We can’t wait to meet a lot of you and raise as much money as possible to support Marine Discovery Center.
The band is back together. Join us as we catch up on recent travels, reminisce about school field trips from back in the day and kick around random topics from the luxurious confines of the double wide trailer.
Plans are made for 2021 fly fishing goals and they're about as oxymoronic as jumbo shrimp.
You’ll also hear a 2020 Dinghy Derby update, Tailer Trash Fly Fishing Film Festival update and holiday gift ideas at the Tailer Trash web store.
As the rain fell and the flood water continued to rise, the Tailer Trash crew sat down around the Old Oak Table to record yet another installment from the Tailer Park.

We also talked about if bucket lists really exist and what exactly they are...
Hope you enjoy the white noise, the frogs seemed to...
Episode 52 is rare matinee session in the Tailer Park. High on Velveeta cheese based queso dip, the full cast of malcontents discuss a wide ranging number of topics. A review / recommendation on the Mill House Podcast & Flip’s YouTube Channel somehow leads to one of our longer shows in a while.
Sit back, keep an open mind and listen along as four guys in a double wide trailer solve the world’s problems and opine on everything that matters.
To start the evening off, Ben shares his best pick-up strategies at home improvement stores. Make sure you’re prepared to take notes!
Marc and Larry share a little bit about their recent fly fishing foray in the NIRL. Larry recaps his trip to East Tennessee, where he fished with Robert King from The South Holston River Fly Shop.
As the water quality plunges to something akin to chocolate milk in most of Mosquito Lagoon, the conversation turns to the difference between areas where guides self-police their ranks and how they value and advocate on behalf of the waters where they work and those that don’t.
A T2F2 episode wouldn’t be complete without some observations on recent social media, so true to form Nautilus Fly Reel’s recent visit to the White House and the subsequent fall out on Instagram is examined in detail.
A deadline for the Tailer Park Fly Fishing Film Festival is set for the end of August.
The Yard Sale is open! As Frank Bartles would say; “…and thank you for your support.”
A big thanks to Leslin O. for her support of the podcast by sending the Mail Barge by laden with some sweet Montana brews.
We’re a little giddy over the fact that we’ve reached Episode 50 of the podcast. If you’ve listened from the beginning, you know it’s actually more than that, but who’s counting… Unfortunately, Carl was a victim of the weather, a stomach bug or something, so he missed the festivities. Andrew was able to join us remotely from Tennessee, which was great, he’s been a part of the podcast from before the rebellion to Episode Zero and beyond.
Actual fly fishing was discussed / lies were told to reminisce about recent outings around Mosquito Lagoon and the beaches of the panhandle.
Piña Coladas lead to a teachable moment regarding “The Walk of Shame” vs. “The Walk of Fame”.
We reviewed: Pabst Blue Ribbon Presents: The Greatest Beer Run Ever

Along with the Saharan dust cloud, stifling heat blanketed the Tailer Park, so we left the Traeger tucked away and opted for pizza from the best joint in NSB for a pre-show meal.
Marc is on vacation, so Jameison joined us to help keep the Old Oak Table balanced. We were stoked to get to meet his new red boned hound, Waylon; and we're pretty sure he liked podcast night too.
Larry ran through some of his recent fly fishing adventures and mis-adventures in South FL and the Keys for peacock bass, bonefish and snapper.
Ted joined us for an update from north of the border and to answer listener questions about random Canadiana. Before we wrapped up, the conversation turned into a planning and strategy session that could very well lead to an international incident.
We wrap up shortly after a quick round table of the usual nonsense and a review of the first submission received for the Tailer Park Fly Fishing Film Festival.

All the usual nonsensical ramblings you’ve come to expect.
Turns out there is light at the end of the Carlrona tunnel. To be prepared for the return to normalcy, we convened a meeting in the Tailer Park to restore order to the beer fridge and to gorge on tasty treats fresh off the Traeger.
Once we were tuned up, we kicked around our thoughts and experiences about the non-pandemic pandemic, one-way shopping lanes and our hopes for the future.
On the conservation front, we discuss a recent "Everglades" call to action that is devoid of details but big on hype. Apparently, it pays well to gaslight certain causes...
We also flesh out what the Tailer Park Fly Fishing Film Festival hopes to see in submissions. We hope that you and your squad are planning to share your adventures with us. Get on it, your assignment is due no later than July 31st, 2020.
https://tailertrash.com/news/tailer-park-fly-fishing-film-festival-call-for-artists/

Don’t forget that 239 Flies & Outfitters is still honoring the “CARLRONA19” discount code. Save a few bucks and support great friends of the show!
The boys are already skilled at distancing themselves from the real world, so meeting up in the Tailer Park for grilled meat and cold beer only seemed natural in the face of the current pandemic.
With topics ranging from Larry’s pajamas, finding the end of YouTube and the moral and ethical questions of whether or not to catch and release into hot grease, the conversation covers a good bit of ground.
Listener questions were answered – thanks to everyone that took the time to call!
Also buried in the episode is an opportunity to support 239 Flies & Outfitters and get a discount while doing so.
As always, thanks to Traeger Grills for making it easy to eat like kings!
