On this episode of the Guide Sessions Podcast, Jim Aiken of @theguidesessions is joined by Leeanna Young @leeannaky of The Last Resort Outfitters and Guides @the.last.resort.outfitter in Idaho.  Leeanna used her years of experience volunteering with a fire department on the swift water rescue team to get her hours to start guiding on a drift boat.  While guiding wasn’t her initial plan when she retired, she is loving every minute of it.  In this episode we discuss client expectations, the history of the Kootenai River, the power of a sharpie marker, flies for success, the importance of safety, spey casting, tricks to cleaning fly line, and much more!
