Today, we sit down with UK fly fishing legend Peter Cockwill for a wide-ranging chat on small stillwaters, chalk streams, and the decades-long friendship with our friend Jim Teeny. Peter shares his origin story insights into stocking trout with simple flies and why you shouldn't overlook that shallow downwind bank when fish and still waters. We've even got a backcountry story. This one is jam-packed with wisdom, humor, and lots of old stories.

Plus Matt's gonna break down one liter he always carries. And why building your own might not be worth the hassle anymore. Heading back to Cali.
