Episode #60: Talking Hatchpedia and ’Bugs with Jim Speaker - Fly Fishing and Entymology

On this episode of The Young Guides Podcast, Keaton and Kyle chat with Jim Speaker. Jim is a passionate angler that combined his interest of insects and fly fishing with a background in programming to create Hatchpedia. Hatchpedia is the result of hours upon hours of research to find photos and descriptions of a myriad of species of insects as they relate to the angler. Fly anglers from all across the country can use the app or web feature to determine what exact insect they are looking at at any given time and be able to more closely match-the-hatch. Jim breaks down how to use Hatchpedia and delves into why the industry needed such a tool.
