WOT 225: Dave Hurley Part 1. Surf Fishing in San Diego

In this episode we WadeOutThere for Part One of our conversation with Dave Hurley, from Detroit Michigan.  As a child Dave fished the local golf courses and waterways in San Diego, where he was born and raised, often getting chased away from his favorites spots.  

He was introduced to fly fishing on a trip to Utah, and on the banks of the Green River he found himself both humbled and determined.  His commitment to fly fishing was cemented when he finally caught his first fish with a fly rod, on a small mountain stream.  He channeled his new love of fly fishing into dissecting the waters and fish of San Diego’s beaches, until an opportunity arose for him and his wife to move to Detroit. 

Michigan became a new home for his love of music and fly fishing.  Soon he was exploring, and eventually guiding the fresh water oceans in the area from his own flats skiff. 

In Part One of our discussion, Dave shares tactics for surf fishing in San Diego and talks about how the move to Detroit had set him up for discovering his niche in the fly fishing world.
