“That’s a piece of advice for people—it’s don’t wait. If you want to try fly fishing, you don’t need anybody to help you. And it’s not as hard as it seems. I waited too long, if anything.”
– Kevin Onsrud
In this week’s discussion, Ed and Reid are joined by artist and outdoorsman Kevin Onsrud from Casting Feathers & Fur. Kevin, once a teacher and now a mentor, talks about his outdoor activities, love for fishing, artistic journey, and the advantages of community involvement and hobbies after retirement.
Kevin narrates the evolution of his art, starting from tying flies, illustrating them, and now crafting art and logos.
The conversation delves into topics like fly fishing in the Driftless area, the camaraderie within the fishing community, the emotional and spiritual rewards of fishing, and the significance of active participation in a community. Kevin also reminisces about his favorite fishing memory and imparts wisdom to his 20-year-old self. Overall, the discussion was enlightening and thoroughly entertaining.
