Dec has been on my podcast guest list since before I even launched the show. A full-time steelhead guide from the 80’s and the author of one of my favourite books, A Passion for Steelhead, Dec certainly has a story to tell. In this episode of Anchored, we get to know more about Dec—the person—and his life before, during and after guiding. We discuss fishing in the PNW in the 80’s and 90’s, the introduction of Spey rods and lines to America, the toll certain career paths take, and more.
