WOT 167: Loop Mechanics and Putting Process Before the Goal with Mac Brown

The Wadeoutthere Fly Fishing Podcast

In this episode we WadeOutThere with Mac Brown from Bryson City, North Carolina. Mac’s Grandad taught him to fly fish as a small boy in the Ozarks, having him practice in the yard before he would take him to the river. Thus was born in him a fascination and love of not just fly fishing but loops and casting.
After fishing the White River system in college, Mac moved to North Carolina in 1986 and has been guiding there ever since. Mac is a fly fishing and casting instructor and is the author of “Casting Angles.”
We discuss how the 80/20 principle applies to fly fishing’s core practices, the basics of loop control, North Carolina, and the pitfalls of putting the goal before the process.
