Wisconsin Sportsman - Central Sands Trout Tactics with Chris Firkus

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Chris Firkus of Sandhill Fly Fishing to dive learn all about fly fishing for big trout in the Central Sands region of Wisconsin!  Chris grew up fishing the sand streams of central Wisconsin and has spent the better part of his life learning and exploring these secluded waters in search of big trout! The guys dive into Chris's early years of commercial fly tying, how these streams differ from Driftless Streams, the importance of frogs in a trout's diet, streamer color theory, necessary tackle and gear for these streams, night fishing tactics, capitalizing on the hex hatch, and the importance of community in the outdoor space. All that and more in this week's episode! A massive thanks to Chris for coming on the show and sharing his knowledge!
