This episode is an exploration of some of the barriers to entry for new fly fishers today. I speak with a friend, Eric Leslie, who owns Driftstone Fly Fishing and runs his YouTube channel @EricLeslie. 

We get a little salty with the haters and point out that obvious barrier, along with some of the things that ordinary beginner fly fishers go through, including ourselves. Everything from gear to fish handling in this episode. Join us as we share some of the struggles, past and present, that we face when doing our thing on the trout streams. 

This is a candid conversation meant to reduce some of the anxiety that might go along with your beginnings in the Fly Fishing Lifestyle.
