The Wadeoutthere Fly Fishing Podcast
WOT 267: Motherhood on the Bighorn River, Self-Esteem, and The ABC’s of Fly Fishing with Betha Cochran
In this episode we WadeOutThere with Betha Cochran, from Fort Smith, Montana. Betha began fly fishing in Colorado when she started dating her future husband, who was a passionate angler. Fly fishing brought Betha the confidence and passion she was looking for. In time, her and her husband both became guides, and when kids arrived, they became a fly fishing family. A job opportunity at the Bighorn Angler, brought them to Fort Smith, Montana, where Betha’s husband continued guiding, and Betha became the managing director of the fly shop’s social media. Betha also continued her love of childhood education, writing a children’s fly fishing book, with her daughter as the main character, called The ABC’s of Fly Fishing. We discuss the pros and cons of social media in fly fishing, how fly fishing can build self esteem, and Betha shares the stories and lessons she’s gathered working and raising a family on the Bighorn.
