In this episode we WadeOutThere with Nick Conklin from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Nick grew up fishing lakes and rivers around his family’s place in Upper Michigan.  At eight years old he decided to, in his words, “get serious about fly fishing.”  He told his parents when he grew up, he wanted to be a fisherman and write books.  He’s doing it. 

Nick is a fly fishing author who has been published in numerous magazines.  He is also currently working on his first book, which provides tactics and techniques for fly fishing pressured waters, and is due for release in December of 2024.  Nick is a regular at the fly fishing shows and is a product manager for TFO. 

We discuss the ins and outs of your first fly rod, the Pere Marquette River, and fishing pressured water.
