In this episode we WadeOutThere with Nick Teynor, from Salt Lake City, Utah. When Nick was a child his family road tripped from Maryland to Washington State for his father’s job transfer. Along the way, he was introduced to fly fishing, while watching drift boats out the car window in the Rocky Mountains. A stop at the family’s cabin in Montana sealed the deal. He had a fly rod in his hand for the first time, and from then on it was all he wanted to pursue and learn about in the fishing world.
Nick’s family later moved to Utah, where his time on the water exploded, as he was able to access water from his bike on weekends and after school. Nick stayed in Utah, and has worked at Western Rivers Fly Fisher, in Salt Lake City, for over nineteen years as both a guide and now, primarily as an instructor.
We discuss the Provo River and seasonal tactics for soft hackle, including presentation techniques, swinging, and fly selection. Nick also shares his thoughts on guiding versus instructing in fly fishing.
