Trout Wrangler Podcast Season 2 Ep.79: The Soul Fly Story With Kyle Schaefer

Trout Wrangler Podcast Season 2 Ep.79: The Soul Fly Story With Kyle Schaefer In this episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, I sit down with Kyle to talk all things saltwater fly fishing, travel, and building a world-class boutique fishing experience in the Bahamas. We dive into the inspiration behind creating a high-end fly-fishing destination on Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands, focusing on a quality-over-quantity approach that delivers large bonefish, legit permit opportunities, and unforgettable days on the flats. Kyle breaks down what makes the fishery so special, how their connection to the local community enhances the lodge experience, and what anglers can expect both on and off the water — from elite fishing to top-tier food, comfort, and hospitality. We also get into year-round vs. seasonal fishing opportunities, wading the flats vs. fishing from a skiff, the future of the lodge, and their upcoming Charleston festival, including what to expect and why it's shaping up to be a must-attend event. Plus, we talk about celebrity and athlete guests, swap some great lodge stories, and wrap things up with 5 songs for the Trout Tunes Playlist, along with final thanks and plugs. If you've ever dreamed about a Bahamas fly fishing trip, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and trip-planning gold. 🎣 Let's get into it!
