Episode 207 - Fly Fishing with Chris Gallagher

Welcome to Episode 207 of Inside The Line: The Catskill Mountains Podcast! This week, Catskill fly fisher Chris Gallagher joins us to talk about his lifetime obsession with fly fishing in the Catskills. He chats about the past times, competitive fly fishing and how the sport got him hooked. We also somehow end up discussing snow blindness, Shandaken’s improvements for climate change, and the woes of the Catskill Mountain Railroad.
