Our destination is Twin Bridges, Montana otherwise known as trout mecca, with author, expert fly angler, and bamboo rod builder, Jerry Kustich, founder of Sweetgrass Rods.  Some of the most fabled trout streams in the world converge on Twin Bridges—the Ruby, the Big Hole, the Beaverhead, and the Jefferson.  Jerry has fly-fished these rivers for 30 years while building over 15,000 fly rods for Winston, then Sweetgrass Rods.  He has written books and articles including the classic Fly Fishing for Great Lakes Steelhead, Around the Next Bend, and his latest, Holy Water.  Today, he shares strategies for following the hatches, opening up the Ruby up to public access, chasing Alaskan Sheefish, and why the world still needs bamboo rods and how they are made.  Stick around to the end for an experience on the Kamchatka peninsula that cemented Jerry’s heart and soul for primal wilderness areas.    With host, Steve Haigh  Be the first to know about new episodes.  Sign up at https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com   Top Flies for Twin Bridges: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Facebook and Instagram Contact Jerry:   [email protected] 406-782-5552 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/SweetgrassRods/ @sweetgrassrods Please check out our Sponsors: Angler’s Coffee - elevating the coffee experience for the fly-fishing community & anglers everywhere with small-batch coffee delivered to your doorstep.  https://anglerscoffee.com/   | Facebook & Instagram @anglerscoffeeco    TroutRoutes - the #1 Trout Fishing app, helping you find new trout water so you spend less time on the road and more time fishing.  https://troutinsights.com/ | Facebook @troutinsights Instagram @TroutRoutes  Destination Angler: ·       NEW WEBSITE!   https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com ·       Get updates and pictures of destinations covered on each podcast:  @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Instagram and Facebook ·       Join in the conversation with the @DestinationAnglerConnection group on Facebook.  Comments & Suggestions:  host, Steve Haigh, email [email protected] Available on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts Recorded Feb 23, 2023.  Episode 87 Music on the show by A Brother’s Fountain, “Hitch Hike-Man”.    Podcast edited by Podcast Volume  https://www.podcastvolume.com/
