Fly Fishing Elitism is Dead...

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of fly fishing elitism and the emergence of a new figure in the culture.

Long live fly fishing elitism. In a different sort of podcast episode, today I talk about why the stereotype of the old, stuffy, tweed-jacketed fly fishing elitist isn't really valid anymore. In his place a new figure has emerged to stand as arbiter of what is "authentic" fly fishing. And while I'm always interested in your feedback, I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on this topic. After all, this has been a big part of fly fishing culture for as long as I've been chasing trout. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
