In this episode we Wadeoutthere with CJ Lord from Wake Forest, North Carolina. CJ’s preferred style of fly fishing is targeting trophy trout with streamers. We take a deep dive into the tactics and mechanics he employs to catch these monster fish and the hows and whys behind his belief that we should “fish all the water” and always “fish your fly.” We also discuss how reflection has helped him discover new ways to grow and problem solve on the river.
