In this episode we WadeOutThere with Steve Schmidt, from Salt Lake City, UT. Steve moved to Utah to pursue his love of skiing while attending college. He quickly became a die hard fly fisherman, spending almost every free day on the Provo River, skiing in the evenings, and spending his summers on some of the west’s most storied fisheries. Steve’s hunger to progress and learn fostered relationships with fly fishing mentors that not only helped him as a fisherman, but also opened the doors to a life and career in fly fishing. Steve opened his fly shop, Western Rivers Fly Fisher, in 1986 and although he’s recently retired, you can still find him in the shop helping others progress on their own fly fishing journeys. We discuss dry fly tactics and why doing the hard work matters in all aspects of fly fishing.Learn More:Western Rivers Flyfisher.comREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | What Makes a Good Day's FishingREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Embrace the DriveREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Fish One RiverREAD: WADEOUTTHERE | Leveraging Angles in 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.
