In Deep -- Dry Fly Leader Design with John Shaner

In Deep is a video podcast series for conversations that dive into the details of focused topics -- no fluff, just concentrated, sometimes technical talk from experienced anglers and industry professionals.

Our first In Deep guest is my friend, John Shaner. With a career spanning five decades, Shaner  has worked for influential companies like Hardy and Cortland, while connecting with seemingly every fishy angler in the industry. Shaner is widely regarded for his technical fly fishing skills and encyclopedic, historical knowledge of both traditional and modern tactics.

In this conversation, John Shaner and I go In Deep on dry fly leader design. John and I share a similar philosophy, with just a few individual twists on the overarching principals.

Sincere thanks to John Shaner, for a fantastic conversation.

Fish hard, friends.
