Harris Buddig- Taking Opportunities

In this episode I sit down with Harris Buddig.  Harris is the Fly Fishing Sales Representative for Patagonia in the Rocky Mountains.  Harris originally hails from Hinsdale. He graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and was working at the Rocky Mountain Angler before taking a job with Patagonia.  We first met about a year and a half ago when we started to carry Patagonia at Westbank Anglers.  Since then we were fortunate to travel to MX together and chase some fish around, as well as fish some local waters in the JH area.  During our time together I have gotten snippets of Harris’s story, and I wanted to hear more. There are a bunch of similarities in our stories. I think.  The fishing industry needs to hear more about those who have worked hard to take advantage of opportunities and earned them.  Harris currently sits on the board of the American Fly Fishing Trade Association and currently resides in Missoula, MT with his fiance Sydney (fiance not for long) and his dog Reno.  Without further adieu please welcome Harris to the show!
