Summary

Dave McCoy wears many fishing hats: guide, photographer, retailer, Patagonia ambassador… he knows his way around the fly fishing industry. Dave is one of those people who isn’t afraid to speak his mind—especially about his beliefs. I was curious to hear more about Dave's involvement in a recent “keep-em-wet” campaign, as well as his stance on hatchery steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. In this episode of Anchored, Dave and I talk about the industry, Washington’s future and the importance of wild steelhead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
