In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Sean Monaghan from Patterson NY. Sean’s unusual path into fly fishing began in Maine while attending school, and led him to chasing trout in the areas of NY and CT where he now lives and works as a plumber. We discuss the good and bad of fishing the same waters, the Farmington River, and the importance of change and adaptation on a trout stream.
If you want to find out more about Sean, the flies he ties, and the waters he fishes, follow him on Instagram at @monaghan1241.
