Fellowship of Christian Athletes Outdoors is a non-profit youth outreach organization that meets students where they are at: in the sports field and the outdoors fields. Colten Holdorf is a lifelong fly fisherman from Montana where he grew up catching trout on the Yellowstone river. He became a guide at a Christian retreat camp back in his home state, but not too long ago, he moved to Corvallis Oregon to become the Willamette Valley Director of FCA Outdoors where he supports FCA leaders by taking them on outdoors retreats and fly fishing trips. 

In this episode we talk about fly fishing, fly fishing tips, fly fishing culture, differences between Montana and Oregon, the new Oregon Ocean Endorsement, a local bear attack, and the Oregon Sports Pack Slam.

The Pacific Flyway is the most slept-on waterfowl realm in the nation. Despite so many amazing birds and even some unique varieties of ducks and geese, especially in Oregon, no one seems to talk about it from the national perspective. And you know what, that's probably ok. From coast to high desert, Columbia to Klamath, valley lowlands to Cascade lakes, we are pretty spoiled in Oregon. Tanner hosts the Blind Chatter podcast based here in the Willamette Valley and we got to sit down with him for a couple hours and talk about everything relating to duck hunting in Oregon including tips for making you more successful on the water.

Once again at the Northwest Mountain Challenge, we recorded “live” with Candy Yow from Yow’s hunting camps and Extreme Desire TV. Candy has a deep passion for helping women and youth get into the hunting world and offers camps with her husband Randy to do just that. This fully immersive experience teaches guests everything they need to know in the field through hands-on experience and classes. Candy had lots of great tips for Bryant (host) and Jericho (co-host) to help them navigate a full outdoorsman lifestyle with wives who don’t necessarily understand the obsession.
