142. Javier Fabrega on developing a passion for saltwater fly fishing and thriving as a dad in Northeast Florida. Jun 10, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, we chat with Javier Fabrega of Marsh Sessions. Javier is a father of three that escapes to saltwater every chance he gets to chase redfish and other species in Northeast Florida. Growing up in the Republic of Panama, Javier has a deep connection to the ocean, but it wasn't until 2015, in Jacksonville Beach, FL, that he discovered the world of fly fishing. He was drawn to the welcoming and passionate fly fishing community, and has since started Marsh Sessions where he highlights all the great things about fly fishing, but not necessarily the fish. Hear more about Javier's story on this week's episode.
