051 – Tricky Game with Zach Drazner

“It’s a tricky game with those guys …” Guest Profile

Zach Drazner is a fly fishing guide that hails from parts all
over, and has done some serious fishing in all of them. Idaho,
Wyoming, Texas, you name it and he has probably fished there (or
close to it). His prime target? Carp. Zach is a carp fly fishing
expert, and has a ton of experience at it for his age. Zach’s
knowledge of not only fly fishing but his target species is
impressive. If you didn’t know or think much about carp before,
that will all change after you hear this episode. Zach delivers
some great info on carp fishing, and of course drops an awesome
carp fly fishing story. But we don’t stop there. He also tells us
of his first saltwater fly fishing trip, and the epic Key West
flats slam that followed.

Fishing experience

Zach’s background is in trout and carp fly fishing. And as you
will hear in this episode, he really knows his stuff. But in
recent years he has gotten into the fly fishing game down in the
Florida Keys. Let’s just say that he’s not too shabby at that
either, as you are about to find out.
