Hey Tom, this is Ed Lewandoski from Mount Erie, Maryland, originally from Pennsylvania.

Used to fly a fish back there, moved to Maryland 30 years ago, had a family, got in with some bath fishing, got really

heavy in the musky fishing.

But just this year, I bought a clear water rod and a hyd dress reel and I'm having a really good time learning again how to flyfish.

My goodness how flies have changed, equipment, bobbers and all this other stuff.

I'm really the kind of person that loves to read and investigate, so I'm really doing a lot of reading and everything and one of that

items I'm doing is listen to every podcast you put out so I think I'm only in 2012 or

13 so far and I have nothing for the flybox because I have a lot of listening to do before I ask questions.

But I just want to thank you. You're a great explainer, you're humble, you're just a great teacher.

I first started seeing them videos and now I feel like I know you through the podcast.

So you're doing a terrific job and must be great to work for Orvis, but we appreciate you too.

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to bit later in the

this podcast is being recorded on May 17th 2017

and a little bit later in the podcast, we'll be visiting with Matt Wagner and we'll be talking

all about the Driftless region of Wisconsin, someplace that I've only been able to vicariously

enjoy so hope you enjoy it too because it sounds like an exciting place. First of all, thank you, Ed, for the kind words, and yes, it is great to work for Orvis.

I've stuck it out here for 40 years and they put up with me and it's been pretty much mostly fun and

mostly challenging and exciting.
