[Interview starts at 35:55]
My guest this week is Brandon Hoffner, executive director of the Henry’s Fork Foundation, and the topic is the diverse habitat and trout-fishing opportunities of this world-famous river, which has influenced so many anglers, techniques, and fly patterns over the years. Like all trout rivers today, the Henry’s Fork also has its share of environmental issues, and we’ll explore how the Henry’s Fork Foundation works to maintain this magical fishery.
In the Fly Box, we have a roundup of questions and tips from listeners, including:
