Fish Schtick Episode 76 – Frank Smethurst

Frank Smethurst is probably most famous for being the guy sprinting down the beaches of Baja with a fly rod in the Felt Soul movie “Running Down the Man.” Frank also appears in Felt Soul's latest offering Eastern Rises, has hosted Trout Unlimited’s TV Show, “On the Rise,” guided on epic waters and works as a fly fishing sales rep in the Rocky Mountains. Stuff like that creates the fodder for some good stories, so we asked him to share a few with us on the Fish Schtick.
