Steve Herter is one of the most passionate people I’ve ever meet.
Humorous, smart, adventurous, ingenious… Herter checks all the
boxes. I’ve been in the elk woods with him and watched him empty
the Yampa river with flies only Steve could design and tie. He is
world class with everything he engages with. He has led one of the
most varied and successful lives of an outdoorsman I know. Aside
from developing three of the top ten lodges in North America from
the ground up; Elk Trout Lodge, Elk Creek Lodge and Seven Lakes
Lodge, he was instrumental in positioning lodge projects in
Patagonia and Argentina. He also worked with Orvis Fly Fishing
schools and product development with Flies. Steve designed and
helped stream improvement projects, one on the White River and
Storm Mountain Ranch in Steamboat Springs, CO. He also spent a
great part of his life chasing rooster fish on the beaches of
Mexico, but what sets Herter apart from all others is his world
class ability to design and tie incredibly small trout flies;
midges. No hopper dropper, no nymphs, nothing will ever be tied on
his leader he can’t see floating. But it’s not just dry fly
fishing, it's midge fishing. Flies so small you have to tie them
with microscopes.This is an art form, and Steve is a master at it.
Also, he’s had hard luck with his health and most recently a
stroke…. in spite of it all, he has remained as vibrant as anyone I
know! On today's podcast we dive into the incredible life of an old
friend. We hope you enjoy!
