Joe Jackson a.k.a Sgt. Bassfisher takes us on a wild ride through his journey around fly tying and fly fishing. We talk about how he ties some of these cartoonized flies that almost look like a keychain. We hear about his story of tying for symposiums and connecting with the greatest fly tyers and anglers around the country.
