In this episode we talk about how he got started with fly fishing and guiding, his multi-sport adventures, his new venture to teach packraft fly fishing on the Dolores and Animas rivers in Colorado in 2025, some tips for packraft fly fishing and, of course, his trip to the Refuge. Stay tuned because in episode #10 we’ll be chatting with Thor Tingey. Thor and Sheri Tingey spearheaded the development of the world’s first fishing-focused packrafts. We hope you enjoy episode #9!
