Kyle Graves of Salty Graves Guide Service is the kind of captain who knows a great day of fishing is about more than just catching fish. He’s an entertainer, a storyteller, and a guy who has turned his passion for fishing into the dream of becoming a captain.

We talk with Kyle about saltwater fishing around Palm Coast, Florida, what it takes to create an unforgettable day on the boat, and why keeping people laughing and having fun is just as important as putting fish in the boat.

But one of the best parts of Kyle’s story is happening off the water. He’s chasing a dream while his daughter gets to watch it happen and see firsthand what it looks like when her dad goes after something he truly loves.

It’s a conversation about fishing, chasing dreams, being a dad, and making the most of every day on the water.

Sometimes you just have a week where everything finally clicks.

Joshua and Caleb start this episode with a little life update coving things like; watching your first kid get a driver's permit, playing a whole lot of golf, and taking the family to the Biltmore Championship. Then the conversation takes a hard turn toward something they've been chasing for the better part of four years: smallmouth euphoria.

After years of figuring out rivers, studying water, missing fish, getting skunked, finding put-ins and take-outs, and generally wondering if they were ever going to actually figure out smallmouth, something finally clicked. September brought a week of catching a ridiculous number of fish, and with it came the realization that maybe, just maybe, they've finally cracked the code.

Joshua and Caleb talk about what it took to get there, the hilarious learning curve of figuring out where to launch and where to get off the river, the lessons they've learned along the way, and what it's like when all that time and effort finally turns into the kind of fishing you've been dreaming about.

It's a little parenting, a little golf, a little family life, and a whole lot of smallmouth.

Come see us this weekend at the Rise Fly Fishing Festival.

Andy Mill is one of those names in fly fishing that needs very little introduction. From Olympic downhill skiing to a legendary career chasing tarpon, Andy has lived an extraordinary life, and somehow, he may be an even better storyteller than he is an angler.

In this episode of Dads On The Fly, we’re joined by Andy and his son Nicky Mill for a conversation that goes way beyond fishing. We talk about Andy’s journey, the competitive drive that has shaped his life, the people and experiences that have made him who he is, and what it looks like to pass a love for the outdoors from one generation to the next.

Andy and Nicky are the father-son duo behind the Mill House Podcast, known for sitting down with some of the most fascinating characters, innovators, and legends in the outdoor world. Their podcast has become a place where the stories behind the people matter just as much as the fish, and that same spirit made this conversation with them so much fun.

We’re incredibly honored to have Andy and Nicky on Dads On The Fly. Andy is truly one of the legends of our sport, but what makes this conversation special is getting to hear the stories, the laughs, the lessons, and the perspective behind the legend.

This is a big one.
