In this episode we WadeOutThere with Patrick Kilby, from Western Washington. Patrick’s love of fishing started in Eastern Washington, fishing bobbers with his grandfather. A photo of a rising trout in a magazine inspired a passion for fly fishing that soon had Patrick tying flies and driving from stream to stream as a teenager. After an initial career path in law enforcement didn’t feel like the right fit, he knew that he wanted to try to make a living in the fishing industry. Patrick began by building fly rods himself, then for an accomplished custom rod builder. He became a fly shop manager in Oregon, and finally landed as a fly designer at Rio Flies. We discuss humility in fly fishing and the under appreciated elements of fly design.Learn More:Instagram: @buzz.bean.and.rodFarbank.com/collections/rio-fliesVisit 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.
