WFS 072 - Ausable River with Rachel Finn - Adirondack Fly Fishing, Hungry Trout, Cigars and the Hang

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/72 Rachel Finn put together one of my favorite episodes of the year. I will be honest and tell you that this isn't a tips and tricks episode. Instead, you get to hear what the hang is all about, Yale, sports and plenty of chat about art and life. Rachel surpasses the record for adult language in one episode.
