As featured in the 2025 IGFA World Record Game Fishes

Each year, the IGFA’s World Record Game Fishes publication selects a small number of feature stories that highlight voices shaping the future of recreational angling. I was honored to be included in the 2025 edition.

In this piece, I spoke with some of the most respected names in the sport, exploring how fly fishing continues to evolve through innovation, technique, and a deep connection to tradition.

It’s a conversation about where we’ve been, where we’re going, and what still draws us to the water.
