In this special Waypoints episode, we turn the content and the questions over to our listeners - and dive into a wide range of travel questions submitted by the Waypoints audience. Joining host Jim Klug for this Q&A session are two well-known voices in the fly fishing community: Tom Bie, editor and publisher of The Drake Magazine, and artist, musician, and traveling angler Paul Puckett. Together, they share stories, insights, and practical advice from years of fishing around the globe. The result is a fun, informative, and wide-ranging discussion that covers everything from essential gear hacks to cultural considerations - making this a must-listen for anyone planning their next destination adventure.

From big-picture planning and choosing the right destinations, to gear preparation, packing strategies, travel logistics, and on-the-ground tips, this conversation is all about the realities of flyfishing travel. Whether you’re a first-time international angler or a seasoned traveler looking to refine your approach, the questions covered in this episode are designed to make your next trip smoother, smarter, and more enjoyable.



After the success of the 2024 Belize and 2023 Baja Bluegrass events, we’re excited to bring the experience back to Belize for 2025. Join us November 4–9 at El Pescador Lodge on Ambergris Caye for a five-night, all-inclusive fishing, beach, and bluegrass getaway—exclusively for 30 couples.
