WFS 557B - Anglers Coffee with Joe Monaghan - Fly Fishing Show New Jersey, Mayfly Project, Winter Fishing

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/557B Presented By: Angler's Coffee Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors When the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee mingles with tales of riverside camaraderie, you know it's time to pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup. That's exactly what we did with Joe from Anglers Coffee, stirring up a conversation as hearty as their newest Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout coffee blends. As we took a virtual tour of Anglers Coffee's eventful year, Joe spilled the beans on the dynamics between specialty Arabica and robust Robusta, and the launch of their high-octane Stimulator blend. We also got the inside scoop on their latest splash at the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Festival and the buzz around the upcoming show in Edison, New Jersey. Amidst the winter chill, there's nothing like the promise of a hopeful steelhead run to warm the spirits of anglers braving Washington's Olympic Peninsula. In this spirit, I shared my own winter fishing tales and the reflective art of fly tying, drawing a parallel to the craft of brewing the perfect cup. We explored the trade-offs between the purity of freshly ground beans and the convenience of K-Cups and steeping pouches, all while keeping sustainability at the forefront. Wrapping up the episode, we circled back to a previous conversation about the heartwarming work with foster children, and the importance of supporting such causes through our communities. Join us for this episode where we celebrate the fusion of coffee, fishing, and the shared values that keep our streams—and our cups—overflowing.
