the River Rambler

This week Bob White is calling in, and we have a great talk. We go over everything, from his fishing start, schooling, guiding, and even some art talk. As a slight note, we apologize for the the less than stellar sound quality, as we adjust to a more socially distant podcast we continue to learn […]

Zack Williams, publisher and editor of “Swing the Fly Magazine” and editor of “Backcountry Journal” the official publication of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, virtually stopped by to talk this week. We spoke about his start to fishing, starting his own guide service, publishing a magazine, moving across the country, and competitive casting.

This week I’m joined by Mark Shamburg, and Gray Struznik (the part of Andy Richter is played by Colby Olson), and we all had quite a good time. As usual we talk about how they got started fishing, but we also cover some great tips, the difference between fishing and casting a spey rod, and […]

This week I’m talking to Bob Meiser and Derrell Hanks. We have lots of fishing stories to tell and we talk in depth about the RB Meiser Fly Rods.

Dave Moskowitz, Executive Director of The Conservation Angler, came by to chat. We talk all about his start to fishing, ski snobbery, his intriguing career path, and the importance of conservation for the future of fishing, while only being interrupted by a menagerie of animals a few times.

This week Colby Olson stopped in. We talk about his start to fishing, his love of trout and steelhead, an interest in saltwater, talking with the ODFW, and the joys of the dutch oven, but not that dutch oven you weirdo.

On this episode of The River Rambler we’re joined by Charles Gehr, the new owner of Anderson Custom Rods. Today we are visiting about his involvement in an effort to convince Oregon Fish and Wildlife to make changes to regulations on the rivers of southern Oregon.

This week we’re headed back to the East Coast to talk, some old fishing buddies, Andy Cooper and Dave “Magic” Cornell. We talk about fishing for stripers, Andy’s failed experiments, Magic’s Gatherings, and Rochester’s educational prowess.

Bryan Stinson, of RiverWise Anglers, stops by the Rambler HQ to talk this week. We discuss how he got started guiding, the birth of the squiddle, and much more.

This week I talk with Callie Freemen, Shandy Danford, Josh Linn, and Nick Wheeler. We discuss some fun first steelhead stories, the Sugar Samurai, and the dangers of heated fishing moments.

Poppy Cummins, of the Red Shed Fly Shop, sits down to talk this week and we’re joined a little later by Jeff Jarrett. We talk about Poppy’s fishing beginning, how the Red Shed started and speak about Jeff’s guiding start, and the current issues on the Clearwater.

Straight from the Clearwater in Idaho, I talk to Mark Profili and Bruce Kruk at the Red Shed Spey Clave. We talk about how everyone started fishing, the joys of casting, the difficulties of a studio audience, and we even get some special guests.
