What if there was a better alternative to bulky waders for those warm summer fishing days? Kelly from Backcountry Skinz joins us to share how two brothers transformed their frustration with traditional fishing gear into a revolutionary wet wading solution that's changing how anglers approach the water.
Born during the pandemic when outdoor adventures became essential escapes, Backcountry Skinz started with a simple concept: create neoprene leggings specifically designed for fishing that provide warmth and protection without the bulk and discomfort of waders. Four years later, they've developed a full range of specialized wet wading gear, including their game-changing "Liquid Lock Socks" that create a waterproof seal around your leg.
We dive deep into the world of alpine lake fishing adventures, exploring the unique challenges of backcountry angling and how proper gear can make or break your experience. Kelly shares invaluable tips for backpacking into remote fishing destinations, from essential survival gear to the perfect flies for pressured alpine trout.
Beyond product talk, this conversation captures the pure passion behind fishing innovation. Kelly explains how his love for exploration drives product development, creating gear that allows anglers to travel lighter, fish longer, and access more remote waters. His stories of testing products in extreme conditions - from glacier-fed rivers to high mountain lakes - reveal the authentic field testing behind every product they make.
Whether you're a dedicated alpine lake explorer or simply someone who hates sweating in waders on hot summer days, this episode offers fresh perspectives on fishing comfort and accessibility. Listen now to discover how the right specialized gear might transform your approach to wet wading and open up new fishing possibilities you never considered before.
