Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/318 Presented By: Stonefly Nets Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Ethan Igleheart, founder and master craftsman at Stonefly Nets, walks us into and behind scenes of creating a custom fly fishing net. We find out how the custom build-out bonus came to be, which burl he selected and how to make it beautiful, and the step by step process from wood cut out to package ship out. Ethan talks about his collaboration with Tom Morgan Rodsmiths to come up with the Catch and Release package which is a pretty sweet combo. Ethan also tells us about that bamboo rod that was passed on to him from his great grandmother, the rod he first learned to fish with and still uses today.

We explore British Columbia fly fishing a little more - find out how Brandon prepares for a new lake, what he looks for to get dialed in a certain spot, and his go-to flies to match the hatch.
