In this episode we Wadeoutthere with Tommy Dimattina from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Tommy picked up his grandfathers fly rod while exploring his backyard and backwaters of the Florida Keys by paddle board.

He used a camera to chronicle his love for the outdoors and fishing, and has braided his passion for fly fishing, photography, and the salt water environment into a career.
