Apparently when ultimate fighting star and former NCAA wrestling champion Josh Koscheck wants to chill out, he heads to the nearest stream. “A Pennsylvania native, Koscheck grew up in steelhead fishing country. He kept it up while wrestling at Edinboro University, adding fly-fishing to his repertoire. ‘One year I was hurt in wrestling and I probably fished 40 some days in a row while I was in college. I just fell in love with it,’ he said. ‘It’s something I’ve always loved to do and always get time after my fights to go out and get away for three, four days and do some fly-fishing. Not only do I fish, I tie my own flies too. I’m really, really into fly-fishing.'” In the Canadian Press.
