PART ONE:** A 'MUST LISTEN' FOR ALL CARP ANGLERS**

Dan Frasier is arguably one of the most significant Carp on the Fly anglers in the USA today.  Along with a handful of others, Dan has been pioneering the approach for our beloved species for many years across the country.  A published author, speaker and all around great guy, with a vast amount of knowledge on the subject, he sits down with Sean to document some of the most significant aspects of the sport today in a wonderful 3 part interview.   Dan discusses his history and gives some incredible insights into his personal methodology and approach for targeting the species.  This is a 'must listen' for anyone that has ever considered targeting carp ....whether on the fly or by a traditional approach. The wealth of information on the species that Dan goes into during this 3 part series is a joy to listen to.... You won't be disappointed!
