At first glance, flyfishing might appear to be the apex where drably dressed anglers, a long graphite wand, a small tuft of feather and fur, tumbling cold water and a hungry trout all intersect at a point in time. Call it genteel sport with the symphony warming up in the background.For extreme sports pioneer Greta Gaines, however, flyfishing is a sport that is … well, it's extreme.

Forget the walk in the park stuff with soft music in the background.
We're talking adrenaline rush, crashing waves, smashing strikes, hard pulls and gnarly music straight from the ESPN X Games.

Gaines, a woman whose resume includes extreme snowboarding, making music, and motherhood among other pursuits, will stop by for a visit on this week's "Guide House: Montauk" episode on ESPN2.
