Lani Waller needs little introduction. Respected author, angler and traveler, he’s probably best recognised by a set of steelhead videos that he released in the 1980’s—videos that were ahead of their time. Lani has often been referred to as “legendary” or “famed”, but while he is the first to admit that he’s proud of his accomplishments, he’s just as quick to profess his imperfections.

In this episode of Anchored, we talk about his introduction to the sport, the specifics behind his famed videos, steelhead fishing, human nature and the plane crash that nearly ended it all.
