About this listen

🎣 Join us for a heart-filled, hook-setting episode of the New England Outdoor Life Podcast as we sit down with Mike Blatt of TBC Guides — a guide whose story starts with kayaking the Connecticut River and evolves into something much bigger: purpose-driven outdoor leadership.

In this episode, Mike shares how a simple love for fishing turned into a full-time mission involving kayak-based guiding, youth fishing camps, and incredible community outreach — including programs for kids with learning differences, military veterans, and families exploring nature together for the first time.

Discover why the Connecticut River is one of New England's most underrated warm water fisheries, with trophy-sized pike, walleye, smallmouth, perch, and crappie — and how Mike helps others navigate both the water and life’s challenges.
