Foam is Home: Fly Fishing the Kootenays with Paige Johnstone
Here is a delightful episode from a day spent fishing in the East Kootenays of British Columbia with Paige Johnstone and Lisa Tink.
This starts as a lovely day on a small stream. It was so nice to be back in BC and spend time with friends. I had planned this episode immediately after I met Paige last summer while fishing with Curtis Hall. The little stream we fished is in Paige's backyard. She grew up here, long before she became a fly fisher.
Paige has been fishing for three years now. Her attraction to fly fishing though goes back to when she was a young girl fishing with her father and watching folks fly casting elsewhere. Then she met Curtis, a professional fly fishing guide, and the rest is history. She is now very accomplished for someone relatively new to the sport. She talks like a guide and acts like one too. I'm not surprised though. Paige reminds me of me...she wants to figure something out and then does it. Unlike me, however, she does things very well indeed!
As we fished up and down the shady little stream, she offered advice to Lisa and showed off a few of her special fishing spots. It was simply wonderful. Then the conversation turned towards some issues that she's faced in her fly fishing journey. As a teacher, she is good at verbalizing her thoughts, and it was really interesting to listen to her and Lisa chat about issues that newcomers to the lifestyle might face. I love this episode, and I hope you will too!
