Join us as we sit down with occupational therapist and certified hand therapist, Karlie Titus, to discuss something often very overlooked in fly fishing - injuries. On the 7th episode of the Spot Burn Podcast we a do a deep dive with Karlie to discuss common injuries in fly fishing, how to address injuries when the pop up, and what can be done to prevent them. The last two seasons Dan struggled with a few injuries in his hands and right arm and began working with Karlie to address them. We brought Karlie on so we could share what we learned so we can all extend our time on the water. We hope you enjoy it and stay healthy this season!

We have also included a lot of notes and references from this podcast below:
