I sat down with the founders of Yakoda Supply, Jason Faerman and Justin Fuller share the story and challenges of trying to create a full-time business in the fly fishing space.
We hear about how they found their niche and created basic products like the fly tin, the utility wallet, guide laces, and more. You know I love hearing the stories, successes, and failures from brands in the fly fishing space so we get a feel for what it takes to go all-in on your passion.
