Before YETI had a company, we had a teacher,­ and that teacher was Flip Pallot. After spending “way too long” in banking, Flip left the corporate world and started a guiding and fishing career. This second profession blossomed to include several television shows starring Flip, including the lauded The Walker’s Cay Chronicles. Flip’s a published author, celebrated guide and casting instructor, rod designer, founder of Hell’s Bay Boatworks, fly expert, product consultant, and sage source of life advice. Without Flip, there’s no doubt in our minds that YETI wouldn’t be where it is today.
