In this episode we WadeOutThere with Russ Maddin from Traverse City, Michigan.  Russ grew up fly fishing and fly tying as a child in Southern Michigan.  His first job was in a fly shop as a teenager.  At eighteen he had his guide license in Northern Michigan, where he also attended college and continued to fly fish.
