Dave McCoy from Emerald Water Anglers put together a great episode for Sea-Run Cutthroat fishing and maybe the best resource online for Sea-Run fly fishing in Puget Sound.
We talk about the best beach access points, Yakima trout fishing and what it felt like going all in on building the fly shop. Steelhead in Argentina, the Sound Searcher and a great 8' 8" fly rod by Thomas and Thomas is all on tap today.
