Conclusion with Elliott Adler

Elliot went into some great topics on this one.  We here him share some strong opinions about competition fly fishing, conservation and a few other big topics.  John Shewey noted in episode 16 that he feels sorry for people that don’t have a passion in their life.

It appears that Elliott has a lot of passion and a strong opinion so it was very refreshing to chat with him.  I hope you enjoy this one, I’m listening to it again for a second time.  Good luck Elliott and keep in touch!
