Today I interview the very talented and humble Bob White. Bob has been in the fishing industry for many years and we talk about the changes in both our lives.

Bob was a good friend of John Gierach, the famous fly fishing author, and we talk about his relationship with him among many other things.

Bob was getting ready to head out to an adventure in the Driftless area right after our interview.

I am very proud that Bob used one of my photos for one of his paintings. Thank you Bob!!!

Today I have a long awaited interview with my bud Chris Steed. Chris is a terrific angler and it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast. Honestly, this is just a fun listen of two guys talking about fly fishing. Chris fishes all over the northeast and just last year I had the pleasure of fishing with him for a bit in the Adirondack Mountains. He constantly sends me pics of him fishing in his home state of Massachusetts. He also is beginning to venture into New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. I hope you enjoy it.

Today is a special day. I get to speak to a wonderful author and fly angler David Ladensohn. David is the author of: Fly Fishing with Leonardo Da Vinci. More info on this book can be found on his web site.

As usual we talk about much more than Fly Fishing. David even gives me some tips on a successful 50 year marriage. Don't miss out on this great conversation.

Today on the anniversary of 9-11 we are releasing a great episode with retired police officer Bart Lombardo of Panfish on the fly.

We dont just talk about catching panfish, we also talk about why fly fishing matters, and we dig into why we think fly fishing makes us happy.

In addition we talk about the very special TOAD S-Glass fly rod we made just for him. It is available here on our web site.

Enjoy.

simply fish.

Today I take you with me into the backcountry of the Adirondacks in search of brook trout again. This time I bring my canoe and we portage and fish on a very special river. Come with me and learn tips and experience my mistakes real time. Rest assured, we do catch plenty of brook trout.

In this episode I record myself on a fishing adventure I did just 2 weeks ago in the beginning of May. Its an awesome experience going from the valley to the mountains in the spring and fall and seeing the difference in where the trees and nature is in time. I try to explain this in this episode and also catch some fish on the way.

Today we talk longer faster rods with two great anglers Jeff Kimball and Bryan Kimball. We already have two rods in our line up called the Coherence and the COHERENCE PLUS. medium fast and fast action. However I have been playing with a new blank called the PARSEC. The reference being to the Millinium Falcon and the Kessel Run it made in less than 12 PARSEC's. Now thats FAST!

The boys start out talking about fishing and fishing flies and techniques and I begin to quiz them on the differences between all the longer faster rods we make. I also ask the question, is medium action rods out of date now? Not Needed? Obsolete? You will be surprised to hear their opinion on the matter.

Enjoy:

Today we talk about trout conservation specifically in the North East USA and the challenges associated with "getting stuff done."

We talk about getting wrapped up in data, and not realizing its purpose.

We talk about what needs to be done, and possible methods on how to do it properly.

Have a listen as we spitball ideas about trout conservation on this episode of IN THE SEAM.

Mark has had an experience with the beast, and its name is DAVE. Mark talks about this today. Make sure you keep tracking the progress of capturing DAVE on his blog.
