Driftstone Fly Fishing

Have you ever thought it would be fun to compete in a fly fishing comp, but didn't know where to start? Everyone knows there are competitions, but where are they? How do you sign up? What are the rules? I got to talk to Bobby about his recent experience fishing in a Team USA sanctioned fly fishing comp. Bobby is a fly tyer and content creator.

Today I got to chat with Mike over at Tightlining MD. He was one of the Youtubers I found early on that helped teach me how to euro nymph over 3 years ago. Last year he started guiding and this year he's selling his hand-tied flies. He's a wealth of knowledge and one the nicest guy you'll ever talk to.

I had the privilege of sitting down in person with Mike learning how his love of fly fishing developed through his pro football career into one of his TV shows, Familiar Waters. He learned to fly fish from a kind stranger as a 9-year-old. Lead the Bears to a 10-2 season at Cal. He played for Tampa Bay. I moved into the CFL and later arena football where he won a championship. He guided many of the rivers in Norcal in the off-season. After football, he started multiple TV shows including Familiar Waters and Gridiron Outdoors on the Outdoor Channel. Needless to say, his resume is unique and pretty fascinating.  Check out his website at https://www.fwfishing.com/ His Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClS1VBtRcCYimRT6zPWEj0g Please support this episode's sponsor Stio Apparel.

Rosin is my friend and fellow fly fishing Youtuber based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He grew his skills fishing the Bow River and was forced to start from scratch relearning the very different waters found near his new home in the West. The challenges include plummeting steelhead populations, hostile diehard locals, and the desire to have a thriving Youtube Channel.  Rosin's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RosinFlyFishing Rosin's Insta: https://www.instagram.com/rosinflyfishing/ ───────────────────── Would you like to be on the show?
