Today I have a discussion with artist Ryan Smith of Ryan Smith Sculptures. Ryan did a beautiful painting of a brook trout in a net and the image spoke to me so much that I wanted to have prints made to sell to others to enjoy, and also have the proceeds go to Trout Power Citizen Science Group. The Giclee Prints are available on our web site at this link. Please have a listen and hear how Ryan explains how he makes these beautiful paintings, the time it takes and what inspires him to make them.
Enjoy.

I briefly talk about a new rod I am releasing that was inspired by the boys at Blue Line Outfitters. The rod is a 5 and a half foor S-Glass 2-3 weight 4 piece. I explain a little about what the rod made for. I learned this from Adam and Hamp of BLO.
Here is a link to their new website and their you tube channel.

Today we speak with Joseph Marietta. He talks about techniques to fly fish the Smoky Mountains as well as some scary health issues he had to deal with for a young man in his 30's. How fly fishing helped get him through it and why "simply fish" as a mindset, matters.
Listen in to todays podcast brought to you by JP Ross Fly Rods.
We talk about a lot of things today with Jim Sollecito. Jim is a multi time IGFA record holder, and it all started with his record CHAR with his JP Ross Fly Rods 8 weight. Jim owns a nursery and landscaping business in Syracuse NY. Listen in on our discussions and how a few things that have happened by accident in his life turned out pretty well. Also listen how Jim has used the outdoors to get over some very tramatic experiences he has had in life.
Today we interview Adam Shirley and Hamp Cross of BLUE LINE OUTFITTERS YouTube channel.
I was interested in these talented anglers because of their recording of their adventures catching wild brook trout in Georgia. I was very amazed at the beauty of their surroundings and also the beauty of their fish. On top of all that, they are very talented and their skills to fish such small streams are impressive.
Enjoy this episode.

Today we talk to Mike Masciangelo of M & M Trout Adventures about fishing in Montana and a special adventure JP Ross & Company is putting together with him.
Today I speak with the 2 people that created Hellbender Net Company. How the design came to be? Where did the name come from? Listen to their philosophy on their product and customer service, and a little about what else we may see from Hellbender in the near future.
The Hellbender net is available on our web site for sale.
This podcast is going to be hard to beat. Bob has some terrific wisdom here and talks about his experiences being a guide and being in the woods as a fly fishing guide. Bob is owner of www.westernmountainsflyfishing.com and also guides at the Hungry Trout in Wilmington NY on the Ausable River.
As usual we dont talk a ton about fishing on this podcast, there is much more about life and the lifestyle of being a guide.
Enjoy...
Sincerely: JP Ross
