Today we get into steelhead conservation, the evolution of Skagit, and what new angling

opportunities you might want to explore this year. From spay rods to global travel, warm water

species to Patagonia gear. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding

of your northwest angling opportunities and the right mindset to move forward with this year.

This is the Webfly Swing podcast where I show you the best place to travel to for fly fishing,

how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip

and what you can do to give back the fish species we all love.

Dave McCoy, Emerald Water Angling Guru and Patagonian Baster,

shares an inside look at the ever-changing and expanding world of Washington

fly fishing. You're going to find out what makes C-run cutthroat so special, how to approach

steelhead with the right mindset like we said before, and why spay casting is more accessible
