Podcast 102. Daniel Bragg Part 1. The Five Fly Fishing Skills and Fighting Big Fish

In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Daniel Bragg from Cameron Montana. 

Podcast episode appears at the end of this short article.

Daniel cut his teeth fly fishing as a youth in the Ozarks and later the mountains of Tennessee while attending school.  When his promising career out of college left him feeling stuck, Daniel moved to Montana and took a $10/hr job in a fly shop to pursue his true passion, fly fishing.  It wasn’t too long before he was guiding the Madison River at Kelly Gallup’s Slide Inn.  He’s been hunting and fishing in the Big Sky State ever since. 

In Part One of our conversation we discuss:

  • The five skills of fly fishing

  • Entomology
  • Reading water
  • Presentation
  • Fighting big trout
  • How to hold the rod fighting fish
