In this episode we WadeOutThere with Dave McCoy, from Seattle, Washington. Dave grew up in Oregon, in a family of fly fishers. From both parents, to grandparents, to great uncles. Fly fishing was not just family vacations, it was a way of life. After fishing the storied watersheds of his home state, Dave left home for Colorado, where he worked as a ski race coach. In need of a summer job, Dave put his knowledge of the river and rowing to use as a fly fishing guide. While guiding, Dave discovered photography as a way to share memories with clients and enhance their experience. In 1999 Dave moved to Seattle and started Emerald Waters Anglers, a guide service and fly shop committed to the principles of sustainability and welcomeness that Dave carried with him from his initial experiences in Colorado. We discuss storytelling your day on the water through five thoughtful photographs and tactics for reading water and catching sea run cutthroat from the beaches of the Puget Sound.To learn more about Dave and the topics we discussed in this episode, or to schedule a guided trip, check out the following links:Emeraldwateranglers.comREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Fish With ThemREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | We All Have Home WaterREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Don't Keep Score READ: WADEOUTTHERE | Why We Take Our Children Fly FishingVisit 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.
