Our deepest sympathies go to his loved ones. We can only hope they can take comfort in his one of a kind legacy that will continue to inspire and impact lives far beyond what he could have ever dreamed, today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.R.I.P. Flip Pallot

Some anglers catch fish, Flip Pallot caught imaginations.
~
Today, the fly fishing world mourns the loss of Flip Pallot — an angler, storyteller, teacher, and pioneer who shaped the way so many of us see this sport. His legacy stretches far beyond the flats, living on in every cast, every adventure, and every soul he inspired to pick up a fly rod.

But Flip was more than just the voice of Walker’s Cay Chronicles. He was a boatbuilder, a skiff innovator, an avid outdoorsman, and a conservationist who fought to protect the waters he loved. He championed shallow-water fisheries before they were mainstream, bringing attention to redfish, tarpon, and bonefish when few others were telling their stories. He introduced countless anglers to the magic of poling a skiff across glassy flats, and he gave the fishing world some of its most iconic films, books, and ideas.

Perhaps most importantly, Flip embodied a spirit of curiosity and humility — reminding us that fly fishing isn’t about ego, but about exploration, respect, and wonder.

Rest easy, Flip. The tide carries your story forever.

Soggy Bottom Brewing Co. is hosting our FREE monthly fly casting clinic this Wednesday, August 20th .

Fly fishing is about so much more than the catch, it's about community, it’s about casting clinics, fly tying events, meeting new people, getting out of your comfort zone and trying something new.

It’s where everyone belongs: women, men, children, first-timers and seasoned anglers alike.

We’re honored to have guests from Suncoast Fly Fishers Ladies division and Fly Fishers International Womens connect joining us this month as well! Come on out LADIES!

As always a portion of all sales will be donated to Captains For Clean Water and one lucky winner will be heading home with a custom swag bag from our sponsors.

Come for the cast, stay for the connection!
