Never Say Never on the Kern River with Guy Jeans

Our destination is fly fishing the wild and scenic Kern River with Guy Jeans, owner of Kern River Fly Shop, Kernville, California.   Emerging from the shadow of Mt Whitney in Sequoia National Forrest, the Kern flows 165 miles through some of the most beautiful country in California and is home to 3 native species including the world-famous Golden Trout.    Guy grew up as a surfer kid in Ventura, playing music, washing windows, and guiding part-time on the Kern while sleeping in his truck.  After selling his business, he started his fly shop and now guides, writes fly fishing articles, teaches, designs flies, plays in a "ska" band, and even hosts the Guy Jeans podcast.   We break down the North, South, and tailwater sections of the Kern, along with tales of carp fishing, top flies and seasons, and wilderness wanderings.  With host, Steve Haigh  Be the first to know about new episodes.  Sign up at https://www.destinationanglerpodcast.com   Top Flies for the Kern: @DestinationAnglerPodcast on Facebook and Instagram Contact Guy: Kern River Fly Shop:  www.kernriverflyshop.com | Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/KernRiverFlyShop/  | Instagram @kernriverflyshop Guy Jeans Podcast:  www.guyjeanspodcast.com | @guyjeans Guy's Band, the Stoneflies:  www.stoneflysmusic.com  |  https://www.youtube.com/user/guyjeans8 Please check out our Sponsors: TroutRoutes - the #1 Trout Fishing app, helping you find new trout water so you spend less time on the road and more time fishing.  https://troutinsights.com/ | Facebook @troutinsights Instagram @TroutRoutes  Angler's Coffee - elevating the coffee experience for the fly-fishing community & anglers everywhere with small-batch coffee delivered to your doorstep.  https://anglerscoffee.com/   | Facebook & Instagram @anglerscoffeeco    New England Nets - makers of handmade hardwood landing nets for anglers everywhere.
