Episode 60 - Shop Manager Bob, Dallas, and Joe // Baby Tarpon in Campeche, MX

Coming off the big Trout Spey Rendezvous, there are some things I wanted to share for DIY anglers and why Trout Spey fishing, or at least swinging flies, is an important tool to have. It's DIY wade fishing based. That's why. You don't need a Clackacraft and a guide to swing flies. It's a simple technique, very straightforward. On this podcast I'll share things I learned from some of the masters.

Episode 59 - Trout Spey and Other DIY Stuff

Fielded some good questions from Instagram, all on trout fishing. Good stuff. We followed up the Podcast by talking about sink tip and full sink lines and why you might need one of these. Here are some show links, I'm sure I'm forgetting some but here ya go.
