I want to share the fantastic stories and journeys that unite anglers and provide the globes experienced and novice with the stories of those who have created a product, service, or niche within the fly-fishing industry. The Fly Fishing Insider Podcast digs deep into the stories and journeys to uncover the hard and real facts in what it took to get there. We highlight both the successes and failures it has taken each angler to reach their current state and explore what is coming in their future endeavors.

A lot of you have been asking what I'm using these days. Specifically, I use products from these companies because they have been shown to last and be worth the money. They tend to last long and have good functionality. I'll try to add them to the podcasts from now on and keep the list up to date. Additionally, I'll be doing more reviews, but taking a look now is worthwhile.
