“Diogo didn’t want to start fly fishing. So, I bought him a really cheap fly rod at Dick’s Sporting Goods. And I was like, I got you one and now you have to fly fish. Now it’s consumed our whole life.”
– Peter Van De Merwe
This week, Ed and Reid chat with Diogo and Peter from Frequent Flyers Fishing. They discuss the camaraderie among fishing buddies, the thrill of exploring the northeast USA, and the bond they’ve formed over the past few years. Diogo and Peter share their passion for camping and the exhilaration of fishing in challenging locations, as well as the tranquility that comes with focusing on a catch. They fondly recall their weekend trips to the Adirondacks and Catskills, where they first fell in love with fly fishing. The conversation concludes with a discussion about their encounters with wildlife, the importance of conservation, and future plans for their YouTube channel. It’s a conversation filled with stories and laughter!
