In this episode we WadeOutThere with Patrick Kilby, from Western Washington. Patrick’s love of fishing started in Eastern Washington, fishing bobbers with his grandfather. A photo of a rising trout in a magazine inspired a passion for fly fishing that soon had Patrick tying flies and driving from stream to stream as a teenager.
After an initial career path in law enforcement didn’t feel like the right fit, he knew that he wanted to try to make a living in the fishing industry. Patrick began by building fly rods himself, then for an accomplished custom rod builder.
He became a fly shop manager in Oregon, and finally landed as a fly designer at Rio Flies. We discuss humility in fly fishing and the under appreciated elements of fly design.
