Key Takeaways  • “The weather at Edmonton, Alberta is pretty important, and you have to always be diligently checking your stream temperatures; it can get hot for weeks at times, and the water gets low and hot, and you have to stop fishing by 1 or 2 o'clock.” [2:31] • “It’s hard to learn to fly fish; anyone who tells you it’s easy is lying to you, especially if you are teaching yourself; teaching yourself to fly fish in winter will test your patience.” [5:56] • “You will never get rid of old school flies; they will be around for a long time; they are written in books, and someone is always going to read it,  pick it up, and  retry it.” [29:27] • “There are so many mediocre tiers out there that are phenomenal at photography, and they can make a terrible fly look phenomenal; there are phenomenal tiers that are terrible at taking pictures.” [42:48] • “Social media has put us in a place where we expect that the fly with a perfect photo is the best-tied fly, which is not the case.” [43:47] • “If you want to learn thread control, get your uni-thread because it’s going to teach you.” [49:18] • “You can teach someone to find and catch fish, but you can’t teach someone how to fish; they have to have it in their mind.” [57:22]Relevant Links:Website: click here to become a patronInstagram: Ian King
