Ep 35: A New Angler’s Perspective, with Sam Ayres
Episode 35
Thursday, October 29, 2020 • Duration 01:25:33
Sam Ayres is a hunter, podcaster, and most recently, a new fly fisherman. Sam grew up catching fat stocker rainbows on a spin rod but always wanted to try fly fishing. After picking up his first rod a year ago, he has slowly started building up his knowledge and skills. And in the past few months, he’s had more time to seriously devote to it. Since he recently passed through Colorado after an Arizona elk hunt, we decided to hit the water together and get him on his first cutthroats and brown trout. After our day on the river, we sat down to record an episode about our day of fishing, what he has learned and been surprised by during the process, and other thoughts as a new angler. Also, check out Sam’s podcast, The Wild Initiative (which may sound familiar to those of you who have listened to Fish Untamed since the beginning).

Ep 34: Making the Most of Time on the Water, with Darrin Schenck
Episode 34
Thursday, October 15, 2020 • Duration 01:18:47
Darrin Schenck is an avid fly fisherman and head coach of the Arizona State University racquetball team. We had originally planned to talk mostly about his recent fishing trip to Utah and Idaho. When the fishing success turned out to be less than expected, we decided to switch gears a bit and branch out more in the conversation. What followed was a discussion of what happens when the fishing is lackluster, some of the better trips Darrin has been on, and how he makes the most of the time he has left to fish with his father. I also got to hear about how his favorite fish isn’t the biggest one he has caught, and why the best memories don’t always correspond to the measurements of the fish itself. Near the end, we also get into the pros and cons of trying to turn fishing into a career. All in all, it was a rich and thought-provoking conversation that took some really enjoyable turns.

Ep 33: April Vokey, on Anchored Outdoors and Well-Rounded Skills
Episode 33
Thursday, October 1, 2020 • Duration 01:15:21
April Vokey is the host of the Anchored Podcast and founder of Anchored Outdoors. On her podcast, April captures the stories, thoughts, and passions of our elders within the fly fishing and outdoors worlds, bridging the gap between generations and ensuring that these stories are able to live on for years to come. Anchored Outdoors is her newest venture, a membership website covering fishing, subsistence hunting, foraging, and homesteading. Rather than sharing the knowledge secondhand, April has sought out the experts in each field to demonstrate their skills directly via articles, webinars, and MasterClasses. These topics range from tanning hides to using the whole fish, and much more. In this episode, I got to hear about how the Anchored Podcast and Anchored Outdoors came to be, April's experience making fish leather with human urine, and how she dealt with her first experience feeling bored on the water.

Ep 32: Muskies on the Fly, with Kip Vieth
Episode 32
Thursday, September 17, 2020 • Duration 01:02:43
Kip Vieth is the owner of Wildwood Float Trips out of Monticello, MN, and also the author of the Orvis Guide to Muskies on the Fly, set to be released October of 2020. In this episode, Kip walks me through all things musky fly fishing. Having never cast a single fly for muskies, I’m a complete newbie, and as Kip describes, it’s somewhat night and day compared to fly fishing for other species like bass and trout. He goes into flies, rod choice, casting, where to find fish, and much more.

Brian Barney is a hunter, angler, and all-around outdoorsman. He is the host of the Eastmans’ Elevated and Eastmans’ Fly Cast podcasts. This episode was a bit of a grab bag of topics, as Brian and I met up on Zoom to have a virtual campfire chat.

Ep 30: Trout Spey and What it Means to be an Angler, with Chad Williams
Episode 30
Thursday, August 20, 2020 • Duration 01:04:15
Chad Williams is a guide and manager of Total Outfitters, a fly shop and guide service in SW Montana. Total Outfitters works with anglers of all skill levels and has recently been focusing more on introducing trout spey to the areas they fish, particularly the Bitterroot River. In this episode, Chad walks me through trout spey, a technique I’m familiar with in theory but have never tried. We cover why someone would want to use trout spey tactics, different fly options and how to fish them, lines and leaders, how to move through the water, and much more. Near the end, we also discuss one of Chad’s favorite topics: what it means to be an angler. Outside the guiding world, Chad is a 7th grade Montana history teacher, wrestling coach, and avid fly tyer.

Ep 29: Streamers and Mice, with Jason Rieke
Episode 29
Thursday, August 6, 2020 • Duration 01:03:50
Jason Rieke is an engineering student turned trout bum. He spends his summers guiding in the Rockies, and when he’s not with clients, he’s most likely fishing himself. Because of the sheer amount of time he spends on the water, Jason’s become skilled in a wide variety of tactics, but his go-to flies are streamers. As someone who has relatively little experience fishing streamers, I was eager to pick Jason’s brain about how he has such consistent success with them. Toward the end, we also get into mousing at night for large fish, something he does frequently during the summer. If bigger, bulkier flies are a bit outside your comfort zone, this is the episode for you.
