Show notes

Summer means fishing! In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast, Josh catches up with Mike from FLY ALL SZN. Mike is an avid fly fisherman who has traveled the US chasing trout on the fly. From the Appalachians to the Driftless to the mountains of Idaho and even the deserts of New Mexico, Mike’s passion for fly fishing has taken him all over the place. One of the unique things about Mike is how he combines his passion for fly fishing with his passion for fitness.

It’s not everyday you hear someone talk about fishing in the same way, but Mike does!
