Hi and welcome to a very special edition of the Orvis Fly Fishing Guide

podcast. Not only is it a video edition but we have a very special guest

today Paul Fearsen,

Paul and our coworkers, we're old friends, we do a lot of duck hunting together with my

dog, Balsam, and good old Pickett here, who's joined us on many expeditions, but we're here in,

As you can see they've done an incredible job in making this homey and almost like a lodge, right and speaking of lodges we're here today to talk

It's a book that would be an absolutely perfect gift.
