## Resource

#937 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/937 Presented by: TroutRoutes , On DeMark Lodge , FishHound Expeditions , Montana Fly Fishing Lodge Sponsors: https://www.wetflyswing.com/sponsors/ In this episode, I sat down with Blake Merwin from Gig Harbor Fly Shop to talk about Puget Sound cutthroat fishing, steelhead on the Olympic Peninsula, and the small details that separate productive days from frustrating ones. We dug into beach structure, tide movement, chum fry migrations, topwater opportunities, and why standing still is often the biggest mistake anglers make. Blake has spent decades guiding and exploring these waters. Along the way, he's developed a deep understanding of sea-run cutthroat behavior and how anglers can consistently find fish throughout the year. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/937
