Today's guest has had as big of an impact as you can probably have in protecting the species we love.

He produces a product that allows us all to appreciate the winds in fly fishing and in conservation.

And today you're going to get a behind the scenes look at one of the largest groups in fly fishing

so you can better prepare your gear, your trips, and your life

for more success on the water this year. This is the Wet Fly Swing podcast where I show you the best

places 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 to the fish species we all love.

Kirk Dieter, editor of Trout Magazine, who has been working as the editor there for 13 years now

is going to take us behind the scenes into Trout Unlimited.

We find out how he looks for wins in his stories, whether conservation or otherwise.

We find out why he thinks we are actually in the golden age of outdoor writing right now.

And what he also thinks about the $1,200 fly rod and why you might not need one.

And also he's going to get into FlyLab and what he has coming here and the success of this project

and how it's coming together with angling trade.

And I don't want to miss.

He's got a new book coming.

He announces it for the first time today.

The title, you get it all.

Let's get into it.

Here is Kirk Deeter.

How you doing, Kirk?

I'm doing well.
