Fly Fishing Road Trips with the Destination Angler

Karen and I were honored to spend some time with Steve Haigh recently. We discussed our fly fishing road trips on his Destination Angler podcast he published today. In addition, I talked about fly tying and flies we rely upon.

The YouTube link on the left below is the podcast with video. On the right is a segment Steve captured after the initial recording of my fly tying area.

If you’d like to only listen to the podcast, this Dry Fly Nomads Across the American West link takes you to Steve’s website where you will find and others Steve has produced.

Here are images I shared with Steve about our Fly Fishing Road Trips.

I’ll close with one last link from four years ago where I talked about The Wild & Scenic Metolius River on his Destination Angler podcast.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and working with Steve and his Destination Angler podcast is just one more way to accomplish my goals.

Enjoy…go fish!
