WFS 058 - Hank Patterson Interview - The Greatest Fly Fishing Guide | Travis Swartz, Reel Recovery, F3T

Hank Patterson is a larger-than-life character who doesn't give a heck about anyone but himself.  Hank's a beer-drinking, fish catching, lady swooning machine...and he knows it.  That's the character that Travis Swartz gets to play in his videos.  In real life, he's a low-key guy with a past filled with comedy and fishing adventure.  We had a great conversation at the Alex Johnson in Rapid City.  I challenge you not to laugh during the discussion...pretty sure you'll lose.  Good luck!  Music:  Jason Shaw - "Mountain Sun"Jason Shaw - "Rocky Top"
