Our first guest episode — a working Colorado guide sits down to separate the risers from the lies.

In this one:

  • The spinner-fall argument that nearly ended the friendship
  • What guides actually see clients do wrong on technical dry-fly water
  • Gear that earns its place in the pack (and the stuff that’s just jewelry)
