On this week's episode I'm talking to Duncan Gasiewicz and Billy Pfeiffer. We discuss how they got started fishing, their Jedi/Sith mentors, Montana's trout, fishing vs. casting, flies and infinite fly tying material, bass, music, being on the same program, and quick little jam session.

This week I'm chatting with Dylan Tomine again. We talk all about his new book "Headwaters: The Adventures, Obsession, and Evolution of a Fly Fisherman," carp, the balance of conservation and entertainment, helicopters and hypocrisy, moments of grace, dinosaur gizzards, and the grueling world of audio book narration.

Episode 68 - Brian Niska

This week I'm talking to Brian Niska, of Skeena Spey Riverside Wilderness and Lodge. We talk about his start to fishing, combining American and Scandinavian styles, casterbation, chinook of the Skeena, whiffle golf, a positive outlook for steelhead, the history of the lodge, cycles of anticipation, and the best time to fish.

Episode 63 - Tim Gelinas

I got the opportunity to speak with Tim Gelinas, of Farlex Reels, and great time. Such a great time in fact that we decided to have it twice and record it once. We discussed growing up fishing cutthroat, big families, raising kids, getting the steelhead bug, the excitement of teaching yourself, click and pawl reels and drag reels, the Farlex naming inspiration, devious king salmon, trout spey, and the always helpful verbal diagram.

Time to end the year right, with one more River Rambler episode. For the final episode of the year I'm talking with Topher Brown. We go over how he started spin fishing at 5, being a "Child of Graphite," Quebec, steelhead vs Atlantic salmon, Scandinavian style fishing, canoes, bamboo, reels, Atlantic salmon populations, and we get a feline visitor.
