Our destination is the legendary River Test in England with expert guide and fishing agent, Gilly Bate, Fly Odyssey UK.  If you’ve ever wondered what fly fishing in the UK is all about, then this episode is for you.   Steeped in history, the River Test is considered by many the birthplace of fly fishing and one of the pre-eminent chalk streams in the world.  Here, anglers can immerse themselves in a bygone era, fishing famous “beats” through private estates, while testing their skill against surprisingly large and wily trout. 

Gilly has been fly-fishing and guiding English chalk streams for 25 years and has appeared in TV shows, podcasts, and magazine articles.  Today Gilly takes us into the world of estate fly fishing, river keepers, and proper English stream etiquette.  Bonus:  Scotland and the iconic River Spey.

Our guest this week has had the talent and the fierce competitive drive to be a standout as a professional Surfer, but decided to go the industry route instead. Spending 16 yrs at Hurley as a Sports Marketing Specialist, a Global Sports Marketing Manager, and then as Director of Sports Marketing, he was involved and responsible for many of the great Events, the Athletes, and the strategic go-to market activations to help drive revenue globally. In the last 2 years he has been at “Inherent Bummer” as a contributor and producer. We are pumped and welcome our Huntington Beach Boardriders Club go-to double whammy dropping 10’s ripper Brandon “Gilly” Guilmette.
