    Hogan sits down with RJ Hosking of Rare Waters. Rare Waters is a new online booking company similar to Air BnB working to connect anglers with private landowners on private waters throughout the West. While "private water" holds a very different connotation in California than other places in the West, what Rare Waters is doing by providing cheap ($125-175 a day) access to world-class fisheries throughout the West for the average angler is an interesting idea. Learn more about what Rare Waters offers and the larger Private vs. Public land debate taking place in many other western states, that fortunately, most of us in California don't have to worry about.

She grew up on the Texas Coast with her twin brother and father who are avid fly fishermen and instead of picking up a rod at a young age she picked up a camera and has never looked back. Honestly, she has never even caught a fish on a fly rod...though she is trying. Unlike many fly fishing photographers who put down the fly rod and pick up the camera she never picked up a rod until recently but has the passion of love of the sport to convey it in ways that many of us who come from the angling perspective never would have thought of.
