#953 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/955

Presented by: Drifthook, Golden Fly Shop, TroutRoutes, Montana Fly Fishing Lodge

Few people have moved between the worlds of literature, fly fishing, film, and Western culture with a front-row seat to all of them.

In this episode, Dave sits down with Tom McGuane to talk about a lifetime of chasing fish, telling stories, and following his curiosity wherever it led. From tarpon in the Florida Keys to decades spent fishing the Dean River, Tom shares the experiences that shaped both his writing and his life.

We covered steelhead, Atlantic salmon, Spey casting, literature, Hollywood, Jimmy Buffett, Jeff Bridges, and what it feels like to keep chasing fish after decades on the water. If you've ever wondered what a lifetime devoted to fly fishing looks like, this episode is a master class.
