Dec Hogan
“When I’m swinging my fly. My target is the river.”
In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part Two of our conversation with Dec Hogan, from Midway, Utah. Dec grew up with an obsession for fishing that drove him to find water wherever he went. He was introduced to fly fishing and steelhead fishing while he lived in California, but it wasn’t until he joined the Navy and found himself stationed at Whidbey Island, in Washington State, that Dec finally immersed himself into what would become his passion and profession for decades to come… fly fishing for steelhead.
Dec is an accomplished author and spey casting instructor with decades of experience fishing and guiding for steelhead. His books and tactics have influenced countless anglers in search of steelhead on the fly.
In Part Two of our conversation we discuss tactics for swinging flies for steelhead on the surface, how fly fishing and tying can become art, and how fly fishermen and women can become artists in their craft.
You can listen to the show on the podcast player below or anywhere that you enjoy podcasts. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I enjoyed talking with Dec.
VR,
Jason

Fly fishing holds special memories for us all. The fish we catch, the rivers we wade, and the people we fish with are all a part of our unique fly fishing journey. My art is meant to capture these memories and remind us all to go back to the places that bring us joy.
