Our guest this week is expert fly-fishing guide, Chad Johnson of CJ’s White River Outfitter, who shares stories and tips on catching those giant brown trout the White River is known for.  Not just in the winter, but all year long!  Plus stories about his good friend Dave Whitlock, tips on how to catch big smallmouths “finesse-style”, and great info on other wadable rivers in the area.
