Bears, Rattlesnakes, and Triple Digit Days on Big Pine Creek with Ethan Albright

Our destination is Big Pine Creek in the remote "Dark Skies" region of Pennsylvania.  Joining me is expert fly angler, Ethan Albright, a reformed diesel mechanic who traded wrenches for fly rods and is now head guide at Slate Run Tackle Shop. Ethan gives us the low down on the numerous creeks and rivers in the area and shares stories of black bears and rattlesnakes, stargazing and remote living, triple-digit days and 25" brown trout. Bonus:  stick around for a great story from a listener of a close encounter with a bear in Alaska.
