Gary Borger Interview

[Silver Creek]

Gary Borger has a conversation with April Vokey. I?ve known Gary for almost 39 years and I learned things I had not known.


Gary talks about how his youth growing up in rural Pennsylvania and how he came to fly fishing and fly tying. He talks about making his own bobbins, the importance of nylon tying thread vs silk, and the first genetic hackles.


Hear how George Harvey was able to develop fly fishing courses at Penn State. Gary describes how he got into the fly fishing industry starting with a chance meeting with a Fenwick representative. He describes how the Jim Green made the discovery of the Tip over Butt Ferralite Ferrule. He discusses the making of The River Runs Through It with insights into the making of the movie.

Silver,
When I click on it the latest podcast shown is February 17. Is it not up yet? Can the podcasts be saved to one's hard drive for later listening?

Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware of this podcast, but Gary is one of my fly fishing heros. I've added the podcast to my subscription, but as Dave noted, Gary's episode doesn't seem to be published yet.

Thanks for opening up this site for me. There is also an interview with Joan Wulff a little farther down that is excellent.
