Jerry French is a co-owner of Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics (OPST). He’s also one of the driving forces behind the popular Skagit line and intruder fly—a steelhead fly that changed freshwater fishing around the world.  In this two-part episode of Anchored, I meet with Jerry at his home on Camano Island to see if I can learn more about one of the most fascinating evolutions fly fishing has ever seen.

This episode is sponsored by Peak Fishing.
