WOT 234: Humility and the Under-Appreciated Elements of Fly Design with Patrick Kilby
Manage episode 466266678 series 3008970
In this episode we WadeOutThere with Patrick Kilby, from Western Washington. Patrick’s love of fishing started in Eastern Washington, fishing bobbers with his grandfather. A photo of a rising trout in a magazine inspired a passion for fly fishing that soon had Patrick tying flies and driving from stream to stream as a teenager.
After an initial career path in law enforcement didn’t feel like the right fit, he knew that he wanted to try to make a living in the fishing industry. Patrick began by building fly rods himself, then for an accomplished custom rod builder.
He became a fly shop manager in Oregon, and finally landed as a fly designer at Rio Flies. We discuss humility in fly fishing and the under appreciated elements of fly design.
