    Why Fly Fishing? How to Start? Talking with Fishy Looking Flys
    Jun 26 2025
    Now I can and do Fly fish but like most people threw hardware on a spinner to begin with. And I love bate or spin fishing still, however, I do find myself drawn to get better at fly fishing. Why is the fly rod the weapon of choice for so many? How to get into it for cheap, how to set up and cast with a fly rod? If you want to learn to fly fish this is a good starting point. If you are already a fly fisherman you may find this conversation fun. At the end my guest Chris gives us a fly casting demo that I think is really helpful. Spliced in are some images and videos that really show how simple the technique is. Thanks for watching or listening, more to come. If you dig this stuff smash the buttons please and thank you!

    3/4 of PUBLIC LAND RIPPED FROM PUBLIC HANDS; Pub. Lands Ep. 06: The Good The Bad and The Ugly

    THE GOOD River access upheld in NC. Dam Modification on the Cache La Poudre River. Corner Crossing is now Legal, what does that even mean?

    THE BAD Corner crossing leaves questions remaining, still open to be appealed. It may take some time for landowners to get used to this new norm. Land sales are on the table again across all federal land again.

    THE UGLY Senate bill calls for sale of 1/2 to 3/4 of all federal lands with in the next 5 years. Over 3 million acres could vanish from Public Ownership. This is mandatory action if you are an outdoorsman As always Please support Conservation Organizations. My current picks are below.

    How does one get struck twice by lightning? We talk about his book "Echos of the Badge" and a little about his career, and getting struck by lightning; bad outdoor etiquette, and the shift in rolls of Rangers from Rangers to Police, as well as his thoughts on PTSD and being strong enough to talk about mental health.
