## Resource

This week there's lots the fellas have to recap plus a great chat with Madison Chain guide Jeff Hanson. Jeff has been fishing the Mad chain since the mid 80s and has that place dialed! We go through some of the beginnings of his fishing, spring tips and the state of the fishery. Afterwards we get a recap of the Master's tourney and the most recent Spring Hearing that Gus attended in Vilas County. Lots of spiciness in this pod so tap in!
