This episode of the DrakeCast tracks the effects of several natural disasters that have struck the Eastern United States in the past few years. After starting with the Sevier Country Fire that ripped through Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we move further south to North Carolina where we'll hear how folks are faring after Hurricane Florence left its trail of destruction. Though this is a flyfishing podcast, we thinks its important to take a step back from time to time and hear how our small but tightknit world of anglers is holding up.

If you're thinking about taking a trip and would like to do some fly fishing, make sure to get in touch with the Yellow Dog Fly Fishing Adventures before you do so. Once you get the trip on the books, make sure to pick up a new Scott Fly Rod. This episode, and really this podcast as a whole would not be possible without the fine folks at both of these companies.

Finally, you better make sure you have all the necessary fishing accouterments for that upcoming adventure. Deli Fresh Designs creates must-have fly fishing apparel out of recycled material that will surely round out your globe-trotting/fishing outfit.
