This podcast is a tribute to a legend, Cathy Beck. I was devasted to learn of Cathy’s passing shortly after recording this episode. Barry and Cathy have always been a massive inspiration to me. From traveling to amazing destinations around the world, their prominence as incredible fly anglers, and their beautiful photography that can be found on some of the best fly fishing magazines and catalogs have made them both highly respected ambassadors in our sport. It definitely hurts all over again, listening back to these wonderful stories and hearing her iconic voice again. I hope and pray you join me in celebrating Cathy’s life as we listen to these special moments together.
