Wisconsin Sportsman – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Tim Landwehr, owner of Tight Lines Fly Fishing Company to talk all about targeting giant smallmouth on the fly! Tim is a Green Bay area native, and lifelong angler who got his introduction to fly fishing by targeting trout before opening a fly shop and guide business specializing in targeting Menominee River smallmouth. Tim shares stories of what his early days as a guide looked like, how his trout background influenced the way he and his guides initially targeted smallmouth, and how their tactics have evolved over the years to bring smallmouth fly fishing not only into the modern era, but into the spotlight! Tim shares stories of how various fly patterns and tactics emerged from his shop, the influence fishing with some of the most famous fly anglers in history has had on his approach to fishing and life, the life of a smallmouth throughout a year on the Menominee, and how you can better understand your local fishery to catch more smallmouth this season!

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh and Pierce discuss the ups, downs, and eventual success of Josh's recent Iowa turkey hunt. 

Josh had a Period A tag for Wisconsin this year, and as luck would have it, some season 2 tags in Iowa were available that just so happened to be good for April 14-18. So Josh scooped up an Iowa tag anticipating a pretty vanilla hunt in the land of the giants. But the hunt was totally not what Josh expected. 

Josh faced intense hunting pressure, wild weather, and stubborn property line birds, but was eventually able to accomplish his long standing goal of killing a turkey in the snow. Tune in to hear the full story and how Josh rolled with the punches to make it happen!

Josh's turkey hunting road trip (dare we call it a Turkey Tour!?) begins in less than two weeks! Having added an Iowa tag to the list, Josh reached out to the host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast Dan Johnson to talk about planning for out of state hunting trips and what to expect for Iowa. 

Dan is no stranger to out of state trips. Each year, Dan hunts a handful of states, including some longer trips out west. With his experience, Dan has a pretty dialed in approach to planning and prepping for hunting trips. So Josh picks Dan's brain about making preparations. The guys also discuss what Josh can expect for an Iowa turkey hunt as far as getting on birds and encountering hunting pressure goes. Josh and Dan also get into scouting for deer on Iowa public land. The sheer amount of sign found in Iowa can be tough for a nonresident to decipher when scouting for whitetails. So Dan shares some advice for helping Josh get started planning his potential 2024 or 2025 Iowa deer hunt. 

And since both guys are dads, the conversation eventually devolves into ranting about  kids, the woes of working from home during spring break, and Dan's new children's book, "The Volcano Dad." Enjoy!
