In this episode we WadeOutThere with Christy McReynolds from Jonesborough, Tennessee. Christy grew up learning to fish with her father in the lakes and rivers of East Tennessee.
In 2011, after a devastating car accident left Christy with a broken neck, Christy turned to fly fishing and fly tying to help regain mobility and strength in her hands and arms as well as build up strength in her neck. Casting streamers quickly became her way of physically and mentally dealing with the persistent pain she experienced as a result of her injury. She and her husband Jason, enjoyed streamer fishing so much, that they started a guide service called Flying Soho, that specializes in streamer fishing for large fish on the Watauga and South Holston Rivers.
We discuss Christy’s journey of recovery through fly fishing, and how she approaches tying and fishing streamers to help maintain her strength.
