Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/367 Presented By: Country Financial, Angler's Coffee, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Zoe Angling Group Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Gunner Brammer goes deep on streamers as we dig into some of his YouTube videos with loads of tips on developing techniques for tying streamer flies. Gunnar tells the story of how he started working in Kelly Galloup's fly shop and how Kelly became one of his biggest mentors in fly fishing and fly tying. Find out how Gunnar accumulated thousands of hours in fly tying at only 27 years old and why he's considered one of the best in the streamer game. We also hear some of his rants about people hating other people's style of fly fishing to the point of slitting their car tires. WHAT??? I know... it's too much. But sadly it happens. This is one of our most listened-to episodes so it deserves a replay today. Check it out right now!
