Welcome to the Fly Roast! The Fly Roast is a new one-of-a-kind segment featured on the Spot Burn Podcast, brought to you by Musky Fool. As the name suggests, The Fly Roast is where we will roast YOUR flies live on each episode of the podcast. This is a chance for your flies to be featured, and most importantly, for us to celebrate the creativity that is fly tying! This is meant to be a light-hearted and fun segment. At the end of the day, Dan and Josh are both true Midwesterners. Some flies might get roasted and some might make it through the gauntlet and become a new featured pattern at Musky Fool. Are you up for the challenge?

Spot Burn is back for 2025!! Welcome to our new studio and plenty of wild new stories! We’ve got big plans for this year: more episodes, more hard-hitting topics, and more of the unfiltered stories you requested.

This episode covers everything from the hilarious musky meltdowns of New Year’s Eve (when grown men quit the sport and sell their gear) to alarming industry trends like the closure of small fly shops and the massive oil spill in Jefferson County. We’ll also share our biggest fish of the 2024 season, the wild story of a gun being pulled during an ice fishing dispute, and all our late season success.
