OK, get ready for this\\u2014it\\u2019s a long one! I figured since I had not done a podcast in a couple weeks I would give you your money\\u2019s worth, and this podcast includes a long interview with Will Benson, noted permit guide and film maker. As you\\u2019ll hear, Will has strong passions for many things\\u2014permit, guiding, people, and the environment\\u2014and I had trouble cutting this one off. But it was a fun and educational interview, and very inspiring for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And furthermore, it\\u2019s a longer Fly Box than usual, with questions on finding a guide school, big fish getting off the hook, Clouser Minnows riding sideways, catching big stripers form shore, remembering Mel Krieger, catching carp in North Dakota, a recommended outfit for Atlantic salmon on the Gaspe peninsula, fishing caddis egg-laying events, and where and how to go fly fishing in the Greek Islands (spoiler\\u2014I have no idea).
