## Resource

#938B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/938B Presented By: Pescador on the Fly Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Chris Teas joins Jeff Ditsworth of Pescador on the Fly to share lessons learned from more than five decades of fly fishing around the world. From growing up fishing Wisconsin and Colorado waters to traveling across South America and beyond, Chris explains why experience has taught him to simplify gear, focus on presentation, and stop overcomplicating fly fishing. The conversation covers fly fishing travel mistakes, stolen gear, packable rods, Euro nymphing, guide tactics, and why Chris believes most anglers only need a handful of flies to catch fish almost anywhere. Along the way, he shares stories from Argentina, golf-course peacock bass adventures, and lessons on why fly fishing remains one of the best ways to connect with people and the outdoors. #938B Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/938B
