In this episode, Joshua and Caleb discuss a recent fly-fishing trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to try out two new rods and rigs.

In this episode, we discuss the following: 

-Trying out new fly fishing techniques

-Overcoming the euro learning curve
-Can you dry/dropper fish with a euro rod?
-Getting frustrated with fly tying
-Ugly flies catch fish
