Episode 149
Our destination is the massive Upper Columbia River in southeastern British Columbia, with football-field-sized back eddies, hydraulics that'll flip drift boats, and rainbow trout that'll bend your rod like a bonefish. Joining me is veteran guide, Kelly Laatsch, general manager of St. Mary's Angler, Cranbrook, BC, who's spent three decades mastering these waters.
Today, Kelly opens his playbook, sharing secrets on fly fishing extreme hydraulics, why a single-fly rigs is a good strategy, and pointers on guiding men vs women. We'll also touch on BC’s legendary Elk, St. Mary, and Skookumchuck rivers, plus Argentina’s trout paradise. Stick around for a wild story of 400-pound sturgeon—and an unforgettable first date.
