In this episode we WadeOutThere with Maxine McCormick, from San Francisco California. Maxine began fly fishing as a child with her father, and spent summer vacations with family, on the McCloud River, catching fish and learning from her dad. When Maxine was introduced to competition fly casting, her new found passion for casting helped her enjoy the fishing aspect of the sport more as well. Maxine was competing nationally at age nine and won a gold medal at the world championships for accuracy at age twelve. Now Maxine works at a fly shop in the Seattle area where she attends school and continues to incorporate fly fishing into her life’s adventures. We discuss the McCloud River, the basics of the casting stroke that Maxine practices and teaches, and how she adjusts her casts for different scenarios on the water.More About Maxine:Instagram: @Maxine_McCormickVisit 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.
