The article discusses the author's passion for fly fishing, particularly when combined with running. After a decade of engaging in both activities, the author reflects on the evolution of this hybrid sport and personal experiences like successfully completing challenging events such as the Troutman, which combines running, climbing, and fishing. The author has participated in various competitions and is working toward a new challenge called FINSANITY, which aims to catch numerous fish species while covering extensive distances. The integration of fly fishing into running has enriched the author’s appreciation for the environment.
All in all, adding fly fishing to my running has literally pointed my running in new directions, while tuning me into a whole new ecosystem and its inhabitants.
My very first fly-fishing outing was as part of a long trail run in Utah's Uinta Mountains with Altra's Brian Beckstead around the same time that run/fish flyathlon events were taking root in Colorado.
