Zach Matthews at the Itinerant Angler once again brings us a podcast featuring one of the worlds top names in fly fishing tackle design - Ted Juracsik.

"Juracsik's life can only be properly described with one word: epic. Like Odysseus cast adrift from a country in ruins, Ted wandered Europe's Cold War refugee camps before finding his way to New York City. Listen to his remarkable journey from Hungarian-speaking soccer player and tool and die machinist all the way to one of the USA's top fly reel designers founding the famous Tibor reel company, and told in his own distinctive voice."

Frank Smethurst is well known for starring in the fly fishing movie from Felt Soul Media called "Running down the man" which featured him running up and down beaches in Baja, Mexico chasing roosterfish on the fly.

Zach Matthews caught up with him recently to talk amongst other things about his new role as frontman for Trout Unlimited's new US tv show.
