Welcome back to 'The Drift'! In this episode, we go for a float down our local river with angler and educator Heather Harkavey. Born in Florida, Heather spent her youth chasing fly-fishing records, breaking over 100 of them before she even turned 17! Now, Heather spends her time running a non-profit called "Fish For Change," a youth-focused fishing program in Guanaja, Mexico, which gets kids of all ages on the water + teaches them about the mental health and community benefits of fly fishing. We've got one more seat in the boat... come along for a drift!

Welcome back to another episode of This Week in Fly Fishing, where Wills and Jared break down the biggest stories in fly fishing, answer your questions from the water, and sit down with interesting people and leaders from the industry.

We also tackle your audience-submitted fly fishing questions, sharing tips and advice to help you catch more fish on the water.

Then, we turn our attention to the Colorado River and the growing threats facing one of the West's most important rivers. Finally, we're joined by Gavin from Driftless Wader Repair to talk about the art of keeping your waders on the water, repairing them properly, and the story behind his business.
