In this episode we WadeOutThere with Dave Stewart from Oregon. Dave started fly fishing at an early age. His father, who was a guide, and one of the earliest fly fishermen on the Deschutes River, would often leave him alone to fish and explore on the river for two to three days in between guide trips. Dave’s love of the outdoors and fly fishing led him to start The Wet Fly Swing Podcast, which initially focussed on steelhead, but eventually branched out to all things fly fishing. The show now has over 470 full length episodes where Dave talks with some of the most knowledgeable, experienced, and just plain fun humans in the fly fishing community. The Wet Fly Swing Podcast was one of the first shows I discovered when I began my own journey into podcasting, and became a standard I aspired to emulate. It’s been an honor to have been a guest on Dave’s show, and now to share our conversation on the WadeOutThere Podcast. We discuss Dave’s relationship with his father and how it influenced the beginning of the WFS podcast, swinging wet flies for summer steelhead on the Deschutes, and why Dave believes “those who fail most, win.”To learn about or listen to the Wet Fly Swing Podcast visit:Wet Fly Swing.comThe Wet Fly Swing Podcast is also available anywhere you enjoy podcasts.If you want more information on some of the topics we discussed try reading these blog posts from Wadeoutthere:READ: WADEOUTTHERE | A Fly Fishing MentorREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | We All Have Home Water For more fly fishing stories, lessons learned, and artwork check out my blog and online gallery at Wadeoutthere.comVisit WadeOutThere.com/art for 10% off your first original painting or limited edition print from show host and artist Jason Shemchuk Visit Stealthcraftboats.com or text or call 231-206-4056 and mention "WadeOutThere" when you contact Stealthcraft, for 15% OFF your first boat.
