Anchored Podcast Ep. 288: Jesse Males and Koji Sumalde on The Future of Fly Fishing Films

Anchored with April Vokey

About
Today I'm joined by filmmakers Jesse Males and Koji Sumalde, the creative duo behind some of the most cinematic storytelling in fly fishing today. Together, they've built a reputation for capturing the people, places, and moments that make our sport so compelling—from remote steelhead rivers to Florida's Nature Coast. In this episode, we talk about their journey into filmmaking, the realities of working in outdoor media, what makes a great story, and the behind-the-scenes adventures that come with chasing it. I hope you enjoy this conversation.
