Trout Wrangler Podcast Season: 2 Episode 57: From Rod Builder to Content Creator Jakes Fishing Journey
Description
On today's episode of the Trout Wrangler Podcast, we sit down with Jake Hutcheson to talk about his journey from building rods to creating content full-time in the fly fishing world.
Jake shares how his fishing journey began, how he first picked up a fly rod, and the lessons he's learned along the way. We dive into his early days of rod building, competing in tournaments, and how each of those experiences shaped his creative process today.
He opens up about the decision to quit his job and chase the dream of working full-time in fishing — the risks, rewards, and what he's learned about staying authentic in the ever-changing world of social media. Jake also talks about balancing creativity, fishing, and the challenges of building a personal brand in today's digital space.
We wrap up the show with Jake's five picks for the Trout Tunes Playlist, presented by Afuera Coffee.
