Season 2 of the Wild Islander Podcast is finally here and we have some absolutely golden episodes ahead!
If you had the chance to learn from someone’s lifetime of experience in something as mystical and unique as fly fishing, wouldn’t you jump at the opportunity to hear what they had to say? Well, you’re in luck folks because we have just the man for the job: Derek Bird, fly-fishing enthusiast, educator, author and founding editor of Fly Fusion: a nationally recognized fly-fishing magazine. We’ll chat about living on Van Isle, close calls, stories that inspired us, parenting, the impact of others experiences on us, and of course, the art of fly-fishing from one of the best in the sport. This episode is brought to you by Imagine Camping, makers of the Fireside Fork. Check out their incredibly handy outdoor cooking utensils at imaginecamping.com!
