Gig Harbor Fly Cast

George and I continue our conversation and talk about his panther, euro nymphing, bass fishing, as well as new stuff! Far Bank just released some new products: the new Sage Sonic rod, a specialized ESN Sage reel, as well as some items from Redington.

Last week I hosted a Zoom get together to talk about cutthroat fishing in Puget Sound. We had over 50 people join in! I knew several of you weren't able to make it so I recorded the audio to make that available to you. I hope this is helpful to you out on the water!

In this episode of the Gig Harbor Fly Cast we talk with George Cook about growing up around fly fishing, the Henry's Fork, spey casting in the early days, sink tips, and more.
