Amanda Monthei is a writer, podcast producer, and former wildland firefighter based in Bellingham, WA. Her work on flyfishing, wildfires, and occasionally a blend of the two has appeared in The Washington Post, Trout Magazine, The Flyfish Journal, Modern Huntsman, and the Patagonia Flyfish catalog, among others. When she’s not writing or talking about wildfire, she can be found skiing, attempting to surf, or getting rained on while not catching steelhead.

Reading Time: 5 minutesTucked away on a side street in Victor, Idaho, is a fully-tuned snowboard gear repair shop called Needle & Shred. It’s run by a motley crew of riders who are also DJs, sewists, skaters, artists, dancers, would-be surgeons, grandma’s favorites, and–most importantly–hardworking friends who know how to have a good time. There’s also one son of a cobbler. If you take a bad fall the guys can (probably) stitch you right back up.

I was hastily peeling 01x off my spool in a feverish attempt to beat the ensuing darkness and create a makeshift euro-shrimping leader. On a previous cast, dead drifting a tan shrimp pattern finally got a take.

Next up in our 2024 F3T Behind the Lens series, we connected with angler and guide Danielle Davidson, wildlife artist and angler Mary-Beth Meeks and filmmaker Ben Meadows to chat about their latest film, Triple Trouble, which focuses on friendship, joy and fly fishing for the infamously tricky tripletail. Flylords was lucky enough to catch up with these three to learn more about what went into the making of this film. Check out the full interview below.

For this Giving Tuesday, we decided to shake things up a bit at HQ with the 2023 Flylords Gear Drive. Odds are, you probably have some waders or boots that don’t fit anymore, a rod or reel you don’t use as much or a fishing pack that you’ve upgraded. If they’re in good shape, send them to us and we’ll donate them to kids in need through the Mayfly Project, or veterans who are learning to fish to fight their PTSD through Project Healing Waters.
