Fish Like Mike in Western New York with Mike Loughran
03/28/24 • 34 min
Today we have die-hard fly angler, educator, and outdoorsman, Mike Loughran from Buffalo, New York who shares his inspiring adventures with salmon and steelhead, opossums and owls, coyote dens and wasps nests, and his surprise appearance on the Today Show.
Mike’s decade-long obsession with fly fishing began with a Christmas gift – a fly rod combo and waders. Despite his busy schedule teaching gym class to grade school kids, he has logged more days and caught more steelhead, salmon, and brown trout than most anglers do in a lifetime. You’ll want to fish like Mike after you listen to this one!
