This was a moving podcast with Chris Hanson as he opens about his journey of losing his mom at a young age, being adopted by his stepdad, his adventures in Alaska where he trained and ran a dog sled team and so much more. We discuss his movie The Day I Disremembered and how this medical episode led him to the sport he loves, fly fishing.
Chris is a talented fly fisher and has a wonderful social media presence. He is an Ambassador with Douglas Fly Rods and Cortland lines. We close talking about another one of his loves, Bourbon and his custom blend.
Stay tuned…
