Description

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Ken Burkholder, from Boise, Idaho.  Ken grew up playing music and fly fishing.  Growing up in a musical family, with two older brothers to drive him to the river helped him live his early years doing what he loved: practicing the oboe, and fly fishing. 

After eventually earning his masters in the oboe at Northwestern University, the mountains called Ken back.  He put his passions to work as a member of the  Boise Philharmonic Orchestra in his hometown in the winter, and a fly fishing guide on the South Fork of the Snake River in the summer… living his dream for over thirty five years.  Ken is also a signature tyer for Fulling Mill. 

We discuss tying salmon flies and golden stones, problem solving on the vise for beginners, and the South Fork of the Snake River.
