Fly Line Podcast is a platform for listeners to enjoy the interesting stories behind the legendary guides and fishing luminaries connected to Maine fishing. The goal is to connect the audience with an informal conversation with the important people that have shaped the Maine fishing community in their own way. Every episode will be as unique as the guests themselves; some funny, some serious, but all very interesting to hear from. To allow the guests to feel free to express themselves in a genuine way, the content may be spicy at times and may not be appropriate for all listening audiences.
