About | Tim Arsenault:
I have spent a good portion of my life fishing for Steelhead and Salmon all around the Pacific Northwest region,and over a decade in fly fishing retail. During this time I was exposed to a great many talented people, fly lines, rods, and just about everything else involving fly fishing. As I continued working in the industry I developed ideas about where fly lines and tackle could go in terms of design and intended uses, as well as what I wanted and expected out of the tackle I used day in and day out.
About | Dave McCoy:
Raised in Eugene, Oregon, my stomping grounds were of legendary namesake; the Deschutes, McKenzie and North Umpqua Rivers among others. I quickly discovered the thrill of having a fish on but was always in awe of my surroundings. My early exposure to water in all forms led me away from fly fishing to pursue a career as a ski race coach but was always mindful of what fly fishing brought to my life. I have a habit of relentlessly pursuing the effort to exceed expectations and create a more inclusive narrative for this sport.

Episode 7 | Tim Rajeff - Casting and Rod Design
Sometimes you get lucky...
Episode 7 is with none other than Tim Rajeff. This is one of those that could and probably should be a series but alas, we didn't have the time to ask ALL the questions we wanted to so instead you a get one long podcast. Save this for a long drive!
We talk about everything from how long we have known each other to how many bones we have broken, industry icons and what really goes on in the head of Tim when it comes to developing a fly rod.
Always on this mind was making an affordable, user friendly rod that would suit any application and work with any and all casting strokes...as long as it has the correct line on it!
Just give a listen, easier than trying to explain...thank you!

Episode 2 Return to the Skykomish With Dylan Tomine
18 years ago Dylan Tomine made the difficult decision to stop fishing on the Skykomish River. It was heartbreaking to walk away from the river he cut his teeth fishing on, a river he loved, his home water. In the 18 years that have gone by since Dylan last fished the Skykomish, wild Steelhead populations have all collapsed. In this episode, Dave convinced Dylan to take a trip down memory lane, to float the Sky, do a bit of fishing, talk about what has changed, and the future of wild steelhead. This one is emotional, thought-provoking, and at times pretty funny. Join us for a day on the Skykomish with Dylan and Dave as Dylan returns at long last to his home waters.
