I sat down with Chad Alderson and Nick Hanna from the Barbless Podcast.  Barbless is one of the big podcasts in fly fishing space out of Chico California.  We talk about some of their new fishing apps getting closer to launch, some of the big guests they’ve had on the shows and what’s to come this year.

We also hear about a new podcast network they are setting up which is going to provide a bunch of new content in the new year.  Another easy flow and great chat with the Barbless crew!

Conclusion with Barbless Podcast

I had a fun chat with two of my contemporaries, Nick Hanna and Chad Alderson from the Barbless Podcast.  We are doing the same thing in a different way so it was fun to hear the background of how it came to be and where they are going next.  They describe some of the big things they have coming including a new podcast network and a few fishing Apps that should help you have a better experience on the water.

And if you’re interested in the right spey rod for steelhead, Click here to see the Echo Spey Rod (8130-4 with a FIST Airflo fly line for winter fish) that has helped me drastically improve my spey cast and find more steelhead at a super reasonable cost (You also get a free spey line if you pickup the Echo Spey).  By the way, the link above is an affiliate link, which means I earn a commission if you do end up purchasing through that link.  It’s at no extra cost to you, and please if you have any questions related to this product, please let me know and I’d be happy to answer them for you.
