On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Craig Amacker, owner of Madison Fly Fishing Company to talk about what Craig's career has looked like guiding in the driftless for nearly three decades! Craig is a Madison-native and lifelong fisherman who after working out in Yellowstone National Park, returned home and started guiding for Driftless trout and managing the fly shop of Fontana Sports. The guys dive into what the Driftless fishing scene looked like when Craig first got into fly fishing, how the bugs, fish, streams, and culture of the Driftless have changed, what his experience was like running a fly shop on the west side of Madison, advice for folks fishing in the Driftless, and much more!
