EP008: Matt Heron – Fly Fishing and Destination Travel

Nov 12, 2015 | Classes, Podcast, Reno Fly Shop

There isn’t a nicer guy in the fly fishing industry in our area than Matt Heron of Matt Heron Fly Fishing.  He is the owner/guide/instructor/travel expert for the outfit and will do it professionally, quickly and with a huge smile.

Matt Heron in Cuba thinking, “This isn’t the Glenshire Bridge”.

I had the chance between his trips to sit down and chat about traveling to exotic destinations near and far to fly fish.  We covered fresh water, the Delta and, of course, saltwater flats fishing.  Matt pulls back the curtain and let’s you see what he has found that works and things not to leave at home.

How to pick a lodge, destination and type of fish to pursue.  How to plan, budget and the best way to travel with a partner, spouse and or kids.  How to prep for your trip and what not to leave at home (this might surprise you).

Let us know what you think of this podcast and all of our podcasts by emailing us at podcast@renoflyshop.com.  We really look forward to your feedback and suggestions on future guests.
