I cover the Driftless area today with Jason Randall. We talk about this unique area and hear about how Jason came to write numerous articles and books over the years.
Jason has some cool stories as we hear about a life in fly fishing. He talks a little about his daytime job as a veterinarian and the difference between Landon Mayer and Joe Humpries.
