Steelhead Alley Conclusion with Greg Senyo

Greg Senyo shares his fly fishing story as a leader in the Great Lakes steelhead alley area. The egg fly and sucker spawn were discovered early after Clyde caught Greg stealing as a 9 year old in the old shop.

Great gets real with it and shares the background of why he moved away from the fly fishing industry to go back into hunting and some of his other passions.
