Over the past year, Flip Pallot’s Instagram has featured airboat accidents, whitetail deer, turkey and hog hunts, making archery quivers for friends, and teaching fly-fishing school. The host of the seminal “Walker’s Cay Chronicles,” voice of Sport Fishing Television, and co-owner of Frigate Reserve rum is staying plenty busy. But not so busy as to avoid our “Favorite Things” Q&A.
Flip’s favorite….
… fly-fishing rod and reel: “Temple Fork Mangrove Coast rod, Nautilus fly reel.”
… flats-fishing destination: “The Bahamas, when I can’t be in the Everglades.”
… species to chase: “Snook.”
… place on Earth when not fishing: “Western Rocky Mountains.”
… memory from shooting “Walker’s Cay Chronicles”: “My first-ever blue marlin on fly in Venezuela with Jose Wejebe, a world record on 12-pound tippet, left overnight in a walk-in cooler to be officially weighed the next day. Someone cut a huge chunk out of it to eat while it was in the cooler.”
… piece of advice from Lefty Kreh: “Don’t let your loyalty keep you in situations that your common sense tells you to get out of.”
… way to drink Frigate Reserve: “Neat and at room temperature.”
… motto/saying: “Bye for now.”
