Show Notes:  http://wetflyswing.com/20 I am excited to share the episode interview this week with Dec Hogan.  Dec speaks in public for the first time about what went down when he posted on Social Media telling anyone who listened to not buy his new book. Dec also shares a few great tips and a perspective from one of our big names and real good guys in the steelhead game.   Show Notes With Dec Hogan The North Fork of the Stillaguamish River was Dec's first river and the first fly fishing only river in the US. Alagnak River and Katmai Lodge is how Dec got his start guiding up north. The Tom Larimer Podcast of the Wet Fly Swing show A Passion for Steelhead was Dec's first big book.  He tells the story of how it came to be The Nick Amato connection and some of the articles that were written. Wild Steelhead and Salmon Magazine by Tom Pero where Dec was a regular contributor and had a column. 24:00 - The Intruder was one of the big changes in steelhead fly evolution. The Tom Pero Podcast  The DC Prawn Pattern is one of the goto flies Dec explains the social media frenzy and why he said:  "Don't buy my book" Here's the link to the 20 page white paper that Tom Pero and Wild River Press put out about the big controversy with Dec's book Tying Steelhead Flies with Style. The goto Scotch in the evening after fishing The Royal Treatment Fly Shop is a shop in Oregon that Dec will be teaching a steelhead class at. Check out the Fly Tying class at Peninsula Outfitters in Poulsbow WA The Avid Angler Fly Shop Echo and Rajeff Sports have a sports calender and might be a place to keep up with Dec on his tour schedule. The Skagit Mist and Purple Marabou fly patterns Charlie GearHeart aka steelhead Charlie, Bill McMillan were some of Dec's mentors.   You can connect with Dec on Instagram @dechogan here.   "I'm going to tell you what's wrong with that book, you didn't leave anything for the rest of us to say." -Scott O'Donnell   The quote above was in reference to what Scott O'Donnell told Dec about his book A Passion for Steelhead when it first came out.  This was probably the best compliment that Dec could have received. A good half of the show is about Dec's talk on the social media Frenzy around the issues with his book Tying Steelhead Flies with Style being published without his permission.  You can go to this episode 19 with Tom Pero to here the perspective from the publisher. Dec tells some other good stories and some good tips as well in the episode today.  I hope to have Dec back on at a later point to talk all steelhead as well.   Conclusion with Dec Hogan Dec gives us a passionate response to the big controversy surrounding the publication of his book Tying Steelhead Flies with Style, a book that he tells everyone to not buy in today's episode. Although I would have loved to sit down with Dec and just talk steelhead, I think it was important to here Dec tell his side of the story so you understand how it all went down.  

On March 22, 2016, the Supreme Court decided Sturgeon v. Frost. Sturgeon challenged a National Park Service (NPS) ban on the operation of hovercraft on the National River, part of which falls within the Yukon-Charley River National Preserve. The State of Alaska then intervened, challenging NPS’s authority to require its researchers to obtain a permit before engaging in studies of chum and sockeye salmon on the Alagnak River, part of which falls within the boundaries of the Katmai National Park and Preserve. Sturgeon and Alaska contended that the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) precludes NPS from regulating activities on state-owned lands and navigable waters that fall within the boundaries of National Park System units in Alaska. The district court ruled in favor of the federal government, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed that judgment as to Sturgeon but ordered that Alaska’s case be dismissed for lack of standing. The question before the Supreme Court was whether ANILCA prohibits the National Park Service from exercising regulatory control over state, native corporation, and private Alaska land physically located within the boundaries of the National Park System. -- By a vote of 8-0, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case. Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court, rejecting the Ninth Circuit’s reading of ANILCA. Taken as whole, the Court indicated, ANILCA “contemplates the possibility that all the land within the boundaries of conservation system units in Alaska may be treated differently from federally managed preservation areas across the country, and that ‘non-public’ lands within the boundaries of those units may be treated differently from ‘public’ lands within the unit.” -- To discuss the case, we have the Honorable Gale Norton, who served as the 48th U.S. Secretary of the Interior.
