Hey folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast.

Today's episode's a little unique.

I'm talking to a fellow podcaster Dave Stewart.

He hosts the Wet Fly Swing podcast.

And what I love about his show is it's, you know, unlike this show, which is

a show broadly about different adventure sports, Dave is so honed in on fly fishing and he

which things should you purchase what you need to worry about later, different tips, and just

really getting started in the sport. I know so many folks who supplement

I know people who bike packed or biked or biked toward and they would fish where they go.

I do a lot of kayaking and paddle boarding and sometimes I'll bring a fishing pole or the people

with me will bring a fish and pole and when we're resting, they might just, you know, have a couple

casts out there if it's not a true fishing trip. In fact, just a couple weeks ago, we talked to wildlife
