Big Wood Breakdown: Reading Water for Fly Choice
The Big Wood is off limits with its seasonal closure until May 22 but our monthly breakdown is here to stay. This week's guest is Breck, our community school intern who's been water sampling, mapping public accesses, and learning the work behind river restoration. He's also a passionate angler and in this episode he digs into reading water and fly selection. Thanks Breck! Got questions about the Big Wood? Leave them in the comments and we'll cover them next month. Video: Coop
