Summary

This week I interview Chris Dombrowski, author, poet, and fishing guide. Chris's book Body of Water is one of my favorite fly fishing books--even though it is more about people than fishing. Learn how a guy with the rough hands of a fishing guide and the soul of a poet thinks about our crazy world.

We have all listener email this week as the phone calls I had were not the types of questions I can answer in this podcast (where should I fish, etc). WE do have some great questions on rod and reel maintenance and weather, nymphing, how much are "collectors'" flies worth, chemicals in fly-tying material and more.

1:16.1	That's 802, 302, 362, 802, 362, 8800. It's mentioned at the end of every podcast, but maybe some of you don't get through to the end.
1:27.0	The reason I don't know if phone calls is that I just couldn't find anything to answer on the air and and let me tell you
