the River Rambler

Whitney Gould and Mike McCune, of Head Hunters Fly Shop, were able to chat with me this week. We had a great talk about how they got started fishing, competitive casting, Pinky & the Brain, guiding, and indicators.

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.

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.

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.
