Welcome to The Outdoor Narrative, a podcast exploring activities, lifestyles, wildlife, nature and outdoor pursuits in British Columbia’s magnificent outdoors. I’m Robert Koopmans and every week, I will talk with diverse guests on a wide array of topics and issues related to wild things.

Today I’m talking with Kevin Dergez, a good friend who has tried for years to convince me that ice fishing is a great way to spend a cold February morning. I’ve never been convinced. Regardless, I decided to join him for a morning of fishing on Rose Lake near Kamloops in pursuit of brook and rainbow trout.
