Back when Zack and I first started chatting about Swing the Fly one of the first guys I thought about to join to the team was Joe Willauer, a (sorta) neighbor here under the Big Sky.
Joe grew up in Washington, fishing for trout on the Yakima and two-handing on the Olympic Peninsula and in other hallowed waters for steelhead. He’s been deepening roots (new daughter Harper – congrats!) in Twin Bridges for a while now though still guides for winter steel out West.
And dang it, you just have to like a guy who sends in the pic above for his bio image in a new magazine project.
Guides do some amazing stuff.
