Just like David O'Hara's book Downstream, this episode is about so much more than fly-fishing. David imbues the conversation with great knowledge and wisdom, and speaking with him was a great pleasure in and of itself.

The topics touched in this episode are broad: fishing the rivers of Appalachia; empathizing with other creatures; studying and observing reef ecology in Belize; enduring and recovering from a major head injury; the wonder of it all.
