#708 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/708 Presented By:  TroutRoutes, On DeMark Lodge, Stonefly Nets, Grand Teton Fly Fishing If you want to have more success fly fishing lakes, you need a good understanding of how lakes work—knowing how lakes work helps you get to the right spot at the right time, no matter the season. You've probably heard the saying that 90% of the fish live in 10% of the water,  and it's true for lakes just like rivers and streams! In this two-part series on how lakes work, Phil Rowley and Brian Chan break down everything you need to know about fishing lakes effectively. About our Guest   Brian has spent over 30 years as a fisheries biologist for the provincial government, specializing in managing trout lakes in the interior regions of British Columbia. Over the years, he worked on hundreds of lakes, managing them, stocking them, setting regulations, and carrying out habitat protection and enhancement work. Brian is also an ambassador for several fly fishing and boating companies, including Scientific Anglers, Sage Fly Rods, Islander Reels, Marlin Boats, Semperfli Fly Tying Materials, and Daiichi Hooks. He is a passionate fly fisher and fly designer, and together with Phil, they've put their expertise to good use through their online fly shop. Check out Brian and Phil's Stillwater Fly Fishing Store.  Episode Chapters with Brian Chan on How Lakes Work Lakes aren't all the same, and knowing how they work is key to becoming a better stillwater angler. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Lake Productivity and pH Three Lake Classifications Different Zones in a Lake Lake Productivity and pH pH is a scale that measures how acidic or alkaline a lake is, with 1 being super acidic and 14 being super alkaline. The pH level affects the water chemistry, impacting how well the lake supports aquatic life, from insects to fish. What's the Ideal pH for Trout Lakes? The best pH for trout lakes is between 8 and 9.2. This is the sweet spot for plant growth and lots of invertebrates, which are food for trout. If the pH exceeds 9.2, the water becomes too salty for trout, and it would not be easy for them to survive.  For example, lakes like Pyramid Lake have a pH above 9, which is perfect for Lahontan cutthroat trout but challenging for rainbow trout. The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning small changes in pH can make a big difference in fish survival.  Brian explains that pH levels in lakes aren't always the same and can change over time due to several factors:  Spring snowmelt helps keep lakes balanced by flushing in nutrients, but the lake can get too salty without it. Human activities like logging can change water flow and impact the lake's chemistry. Climate change is also a significant factor, as some areas aren't getting the same snowmelt they used to, causing pH to rise.  Marl and Chara Shoal How Lakes Work: Three Lake Classifications Lakes can be divided into three categories: oligotrophic, mesotrophic, and eutrophic. These classifications help us understand which lakes are better for fishing and support healthy fish populations.  Knowing the type of lake helps anglers figure out why one lake might be an excellent spot for big trout, and another might not be as productive. Oligotrophic Lakes Oligotrophic lakes are big, deep, and well-oxygenated, with lots of water flowing in and out. The flushing rate in these lakes is high, meaning the water changes quickly, so there isn't much shallow water for plants to grow.  Because of this, these lakes have limited food sources for trout. Fish here mostly survive by eating other fish, not just insects. Mesotrophic Lakes Mesotrophic lakes are a step up from oligotrophic lakes in terms of productivity. They're still large but a bit shallower, and they often have small rivers or creeks flowing in and out. The lake has a bit more shoal areas or littoral zones, so some plant life grows in those shallow water areas. Eutrophic Lakes Eutrophic lakes are the gold standard when it comes to trout fishing. They're shallow, nutrient-rich, and full of life. These lakes are often less than 50-60 feet deep and have lots of shallow areas for plants to grow.  These lakes' flushing rate is slow, so they stay nutrient-rich for longer. Chironomid fishing is also incredible here due to the muddy bottoms.  Different Zones in a Lake Lakes have different zones, and understanding them helps anglers know where to fish at various times of the year.   Littoral Zone The littoral zone, or shoal area, is the shallow water at the lake's edge. This is where sunlight can penetrate to the bottom to create photosynthesis. It's usually 7 to 8 meters deep.   The littoral zone is where all the vegetation grows and where trout and other fish species feed, particularly in the spring to early summer and again in the fall, right until freeze-up. This is the zone where we spend the bulk of our fishing time—whether it's 5 feet of water or 22, 23 feet of water—this is the prime area.  Limnetic Zone The limnetic zone is the open water area in the middle of the lake, just beyond the littoral zone. Here, sunlight still penetrates, but it doesn't reach the bottom. This means there's no vegetation growing like in the shallows, but it's still a prime habitat for zooplankton, which trout love to eat. Although this zone has less food diversity, the zooplankton and deep-water hatches make it an essential spot for fish. In the warmer months, fish move out of the shallow water and into the limnetic zone, where the oxygen levels are better and the water is cooler. This is when fishing techniques like using blob patterns can be incredibly effective.  Thermocline  The thermocline is a transition layer between the warm upper water and cooler deeper water. It's usually a narrow band, about a meter in depth, where there's a sudden drop in temperature.  The thermocline keeps the colder water from mixing with the warmer water, which is why the deeper parts of the lake stay cool and oxygenated. Fish often move from the shallow waters to sit just above the thermocline, where they find cooler water and better oxygen levels, especially during hot summer months. Profundal Zone Beneath the thermocline in deeper lakes, there's another zone called the hypolimnion, the cold, deep water layer. It's the bottom part of the lake that remains cool and doesn't mix with the warmer upper waters Remember, all lakes are different, but understanding lake structure makes your fishing day more successful and enjoyable!   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/708

He mentioned that they offer a cool spot for life purposes and can be accessed around the margarita. 08:16 - Justin shared that despite the common perception of him being a dedicated salmon angler, he actually prefers fishing for brook trout. He humorously mentioned that he's known for his passion for dry fly fishing, which leads to playful teasing from his friends who favor streamers. He emphasized his preference for catching numerous small trout on dry flies over targeting one big brook trout using streamer patterns. Justin clarified that he doesn't dislike streamers but has a genuine love for the art of dry fly fishing. 10:45 - Justin shared that Bras d'Or Lakes offer a unique fishing opportunity with a variety of fish, including striped bass, brown trout, rainbow trout, Brook trout, perch, flatfish, and mackerel. This unique fishing opportunity provides a diverse range of fish for those seeking a unique fishing experience. 11:45 - Justin, a weightlifter, had no outdoor experience until 27 years ago when he fell during a squat and crushed his lower back. He tried to fly fishing at home but was criticized for breaking threads. He eventually bought a fly rod and went out, but accidentally got the hook stuck in his ear. Justin advises others to take time to learn and improve their skills. 12:56 - Jusin learned fly fishing by going with older guys and learning from their experiences. He found some information correct and others wrong, but as he progressed, he began listening to podcasts and other tips to identify areas for improvement. 13:34 - Justin advises beginners to initially learn fly fishing independently, focusing on casting and mastering essential skills like fly line tying, backing attachment, and leader connection. He simplifies casting techniques, underscores the significance of proper methods and gear, and offers guidance to enhance skills and enjoyment in fishing. 14:22 - After three years of starting fly fishing, Justin embraced the guiding principle for learning, recognizing the importance of opportunities. He was open about his limitations and began guiding advanced individuals, forming close friendships, and gaining insights from clients. Over time, he contemplated sharing his guiding expertise through teaching. 16:43 - Justin mentions the North River and Baddeck River, which hold salmon, and Bras d'Or Lakes occasionally receive a run of salmon. 18:38 - Justin mentioned Cape Breton's numerous fishing spots, including the Cabot trail, which boasts massive Brook Trout. He emphasized the importance of visiting for daybreak, as it is a challenging hike. The area is worth the effort, as it offers numerous opportunities for fishing. 20:11 - We discussed a mixed topic, focusing on Brook Trout. When planning a trip, Justin recommends targeting late May to early June for prime fishing, especially for large Brook Trout. However, July to September offers dry fly fishing, with some variability due to weather conditions. 24:33 - Justin shifted away from Salmon Fishing, barely guiding for them last year and not at all this year. Surprisingly, this year has witnessed the highest fish catch in the last four years, with people landing up to four fish a day, a significant improvement compared to the usual one or none. 27:32 - Justin used to prepare a list of questions for his podcast interviews, but he now takes a more spontaneous approach. He aims to understand the interviewee's fishing style and personality better, leading to unexpected and intriguing conversations. As an example, during an episode with Kelly Galloup, Justin uncovered that Kelly had a background as a bodybuilder, surprising many listeners. 31:22 - As Justin delves deeper into podcasting, he's realizing the increasing demands and responsibilities. He acknowledges the positive results but acknowledges the need for better balance. To streamline his process, he plans to schedule podcast uploads in advance, allowing for automation and reducing last-minute efforts. 32:51 - Last year, Justin launched a TV show during a scorching summer. This year, the filming team and Justin are learning fly fishing content, capturing moments in rivers and lakes. They feature Brook Trout, a potential salmon show, and stripers. 34:59 - Justin remarked on his impressive growth over the past couple of years, recognizing the transformation from earlier episodes to his current state. Despite a busy schedule encompassing guiding, healthcare work, a TV show, podcasting, and single parenthood, he remains grateful for the opportunities. He also expresses gratitude for the camera crew who enhance his image on the screen. 35:50 - Our fishing season typically ends in October and begins again in May, with our latest shows featuring River Denny's and the recent Mull River episode. There's more exciting content to come, including episodes on the Middle River and Margaree, all packed with action. You can check more here. 36:34 - We discussed the differences between the TV show and the podcast, particularly in terms of feedback and enjoyment. Justin finds both mediums enjoyable and receives positive feedback for both. While some opinions may vary, he values and respects diverse perspectives. Overall, the experience has been positive, with a focus on helping and supporting others through the show by featuring fishing events and fly tying. 38:45 - Justin suggests targeting May or early June for Brook Trout fishing. Fly fishing is the general approach, but tactics can vary based on weather conditions. Justin provides necessary supplies and adapts fly selection based on the year's conditions. Options include dry flies, streamers like muddler minnows, Mickey fins, stone flies, nims, queen of the water, and wet flies. 41:35 - Justin, with nine years of experience, aims to promote his unique fishing method in local rivers and lakes. He offers clients the opportunity to fish for farm-raised Rainbows, acknowledging their origin but emphasizing the enjoyable experience. Clients often prioritize the experience over the fish's nature. 42:17 - The conversation discussed fishing and guiding, emphasizing the importance of hiring a guide for unfamiliar spots. It discussed meeting spots like renting a car, staying at a lodge, or exploring towns like Margaree or Bedak. Justin highlighted flexibility in meeting arrangements and discussed Brook Trout and Salmon fishing opportunities. 44:42 - We discussed the Margaree River's reputation as a famous destination for Atlantic Salmon fishing. Notably, Topher Browne, an expert in Atlantic Salmon and Spey casting, highlighted the river's appeal as he traveled across North America. The Margaree River is renowned for its status as a prime location for Atlantic Salmon fishing. 45:02 - We discussed the fame of the Margaree River for Atlantic Salmon fishing, with notable anglers like Lee Wolf and John Casamento having fished there. The Margaree is renowned within the Atlantic Salmon community, along with other rivers like the Baddeck River and North River. When thinking of Atlantic Salmon fishing, the Margaree River in Cape Breton stands out as a significant and well-known location for this type of angling. 47:46 - When heading to the Margaree River, Justin suggests getting information through a DIY approach or consulting a local guide like the Tying Scotsman. Engaging with locals who know the area well, such as the Tying Scotsman, can provide valuable guidance for planning your trip, whether you're considering DIY fishing or seeking expert advice. 49:46 - Justin described a scenic drive through a national park that takes around six hours, offering constantly changing and captivating views at every turn. The park's designation as a national park could be attributed to its abundant wildlife and diverse forest ecosystems. Situated at Cape Breton's northern tip, it is mostly surrounded by the ocean, adding to its unique allure. 50:58 - Justin explained that his fishing journey started on a lake, where he studied and honed his skills. Over the past three years, he has transitioned to river fishing and developed a strong affinity for it. He now finds more enjoyment in catching numerous small Brook Trout in rivers than landing a single massive one. He values the experience and even regrets not having a GoPro to capture his past big catches. 52:49 - Justin found his podcasting journey fulfilling, despite doubts about its continuation. He rekindled enthusiasm and invested in equipment to improve his setup. He stressed the importance of creating a strong first impression to capture and retain listeners' attention. 55:18 - Justin and I collaborated on a previous episode.

Truth, goodness, and beauty are the hallmarks of the Kingdom of God, but sadly we often overlook the "beauty." We all see a crystal clear river and say it is beautiful. We see another stagnate with debris and trash and say it is polluted and ugly. Why do we share this universal understanding of beauty? Where does this shared understanding come from? There is an intrinsic answer here that points straight back to our Creator. Today we are joined by artist, entrepreneur, professor, author, speaker, and pastor Brian S. Chan. Brian received a DMin in Christian Philosophy from Talbot, where he wrote his dissertation on philosophy in films, and a ThM in Historical Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, where he wrote his thesis on the beauty of God and art in worship. Since then, he has never looked back as he continues to share and deepen his understanding of beauty and the Kingdom. During our discussion, we asked is beauty objective, where does it come from, why do humans pursue ugliness, when did the church have a vision for beauty, and what does a theology of beauty look like? Last, we get practical and ask how can each of us apply this concept into our daily lives?Episode Landing PageDisciple Nations Alliance Website

Kim’s Convenience is closing down for good. And listen, it’s Toronto and we’re like really worried that in its place all that will pop up is a condo. Or worse… another dispensary! If you’re unfamiliar with the show, it’s a beloved CBC sitcom that’s centred around the Kim’s, a South-Korean immigrant family running a convenience store in the Toronto neighbourhood, Regent Park. Upon the release of the fifth season, it was chaotically revealed that it would be the last. In wake of its cancellation, there's been a ton of public outcry to keep it going. Short answer, it won’t. In our return episode, Amreen and Kyle mourn the loss of their fave character, Janet (typical lol!), explore what this kind of representation of Canada means, and chirp on what the loss of the show means not only for its fans, but for the creatives behind it. It’s been a minute folks, time to catch up! — This episode of Influx was recorded and produced in Toronto by Amreen Kullar and Kyle Jarencio in April 2021. You can find them online at @amreenk_ and @fragilekyle. Our intro music is by Boy Garçon - @nadom_ on insta and our cover art is by Andrew O’Brien - @hooker_green on insta. Additional graphics by Kyle and episode edit by Amreen. This episode features the voices of Raizel Harjosubroto (@raizelharjo online) and Brian Chan. ily to you both! In this episode, we talk about Kim’s Convenience which just wrapped with its fifth season available to view on CBC Gem or Netflix (if you’re living that worldwide life). We also based much of our foundational understanding about the show’s cancellation through an article by Sam Weaver. Read that here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/kim-s-convenience-end-diverse-1.5988267 To disclaim, this episode was recorded on April 24th, 2021. At the start, we comment on the state of the vaccine rollout. The situation has obviously changed since then! Though the decision to keep these comments in was to be reflective of our ongoing confusion and critique around the Ontario handle on COVID-19.

Five tips for increasing your stillwater fly fishing success by tapping into the love that trout have for devouring leeches!Leeches are gross... they swim around the lake in an undulating motion and they have the ability to latch onto your skin and suck your blood like a vampire. But did you know that leeches play a key role in the diet of trout in stillwaters? Leech imitations can take fish at just about any time of day or year, and they're a favourite searching pattern for new lakes. The following are five ways to increase your success fishing leeches in stillwaters.Harness the power of the strike indicator Also known as a bobber (favoured term), indicators are very powerful when it comes to fishing leeches in stillwaters as they allow us to indefinitely suspend our offerings within the trout's window of vision. Casting and retrieving undoubtedly has its time and place (including times when it will out-fish suspended imitations), but using a strike indicator to suspend your offering allows you to ultimately play the game of percentages by showing your offering to fish over an extended period of time, without worrying about hooking bottom. Base the speed of your retrieve on the temperature of the waterFishing leeches in lakes is highly productive, but there is not one 'secret' pattern that's going to catch exponentially more fish than anything else. Rather, it is how the fly is fished that's important, specifically the fly's retrieval speed and motion. The metabolic rate of trout drops substantially in very cold water, therefore a fairly catatonic approach is going to fool even the most lethargic of fish. As the season progresses and we are seeing fish move and feed with a bit more authority, a faster retrieval speed can start turning more fish on. I am a huge fan of fishing leeches 'low and slow' in the colder periods of the season (early spring and late fall), reverting back to tip #1 and using a strike indicator to do so. Fish leeches directly after a chironomid hatchIt is no secret that trout love to gorge themselves on a huge feast of chironomids when the opportunity presents itself. However, after the chironomids frenzy begins to taper down, they will often revert to eating a few small leeches to help them cap down their food. Aiding with digestion, you'll find fish patrolling weed beds, mud flats, ledges and drop-offs in search of leeches, and can ultimate capitalize on this afternoon feeding window by switching over to a leech imitation. Small fly, big fishIt is easy to fall under the illusion that bigger flies are the answer to catching more or bigger fish. Logically, it would make sense that a large meal would be preferable for larger fish (and there are definitely instances in which this rings true), but do not overlook the power of fishing small leech imitations. Don't be afraid to scale down to size 12, 14 or even 16 leech imitations, especially when targeting fish in lakes that receive a lot of angler traffic. Base the amount of flash off of the water clarityLarger, flashier imitations can fish exceptionally well under the right conditions. On the same note, so can small, drab presentations with little to no flash in the body or tail. How do we decide this? When fishing tannic or tea-stained lakes with very dark bottoms, it does not hurt to fish flies that have a bit more flash built into the tail or body of the fly. On the flip side, I love fishing small leech patterns (such as Brian Chan's B.M.W) in clear, alkaline lakes in which fish have a massive window of vision. They don't need a lot of flash or sparkle to draw them in from a great distance, and often very subtle and non-obtrusive patterns will outperform almost anything else in clear water. Enjoy!

Brian Chan, Lead Pastor of Emmanuel Church in Burbank, CA, (EFCA) has extensively studied the theology of beauty and even written a book on the subject called The Purple Curtain. In this episode we answer questions such as: What is beauty and why are we attracted to it in the first place? Why do churches, except in the area of music, seem to underutilize the arts? And what makes so many Christian movies and songs so cringeworthy? We also discuss Brian's involvement in his community art society, and how modern Christian artists like Makoto Fujimura use their craft to communicate Gospel themes of redemption and restoration. To get in touch with Brian, reach out to him at brian.chan@emmanuelburbank.org or check out his website.

Welcome to Hunting & Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada.I'm Robert Koopmans and this week I talked to fly-fishing master Brian Chan about the terrible choice outdoors folk face every autumn — do we fish or hunt? It's a dilemma Brian faces every year now that he has become enamoured by bowhunting for deer, as the fall also provides such excellent stillwater fly-fishing opportunities in B.C.'s lakes. Brian's choice? Hunt hard during the early September archery season then fish hard after that. Brian provided me with many great tips and suggestions for catching fall rainbows … I also chatted with Randy Nelson about his trip to B.C.'s Peace country for moose. He and two friends spent nine days looking for a bull moose in what should have been prime hunting country. As it turns out it was incredibly hard country to get around in, something that led to the unexpected discovery of a young couple who spent two days walking through swamps and bush after their truck got stuck bumper deep in thick mud.***Randy Nelson has made many trips to B.C.'s far north hunting moose. In late August he and two friends made another trip to country north of Fort St. John in search of moose. This trip turned into a different kind of experience, however, as he and his crew suffered truck troubles, wet weather, and not many moose.Randy's hunting trip quickly turned into a day-long rescue mission, something that ultimately created an experience that will remain burned into his memory … He and his friends helped rescue a young couple whose truck became stuck deep and hard in thick mud far off the main road. His crew sprang into action, setting aside their hunting to help these strangers out of a really difficult situation.  Their actions were a great example of an ethic we should all aspire to — when the call comes to help someone, answer it. It's an act that might one day need to be repaid …  I apologize for the sound quality upfront. To make sure we could respect social distancing, Randy and I chatted in a Kamloops park that proved to be a busy, noisy environment …  *** Thanks for listening to this week's episode. If you want to share a thought, send me an email at info@theoutdoornarrative.com.  I'm Robert Koopmans, thanks again, and we'll catch you next time.

Brian Chan and Vikram Sreedhar are Asian Americans and Anna Chan is British born Chinese and they are all working in various roles across Salesforce. Each of them grew up in different parts of the world and with varying interest in a career in tech. They discuss their journeys into a STEM career and ultimately how they ended up at Salesforce. One of the consequences of the COVID-19 situation has been an increase in the amount of racism aimed at members of various Asian communities. Because of these, each of the speakers has felt an increased responsibility in helping members of their community and others around them. This takes the form of donation, volunteering, or even just educating people on why their behavior could be interpreted as being hostile. What drives them in this work is the goal of raising awareness for these problems and helping improve the diversity for future generations entering tech. They conclude with some words of encouragement for people who want to start helping people in their community, whether they come from an Asian background or not. They also provide advice for those coming into tech on how to prepare themselves for success.

Welcome to Episode 29 of The Outdoor Narrative. I'm Robert Koopmans and every week I talk with interesting people about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia. This week, I talked with a variety of people about hunting with a bow and becoming a bowhunter. This episode is about learning and lessons learned — including hard, humbling lessons that you can only get in the field.I bought a bow when I was 17 years old. Living in Ontario, I was determined to hunt deer with it, and I practiced hard. I got to be pretty good with it, but I never did make it out deer hunting. Not long after, I graduated high school and moved to B.C., to go to school and start working. The bow went into storage and when the time came again that I wanted to hunt, I bought a rifle, because the guy who was teaching me about B.C. deer hunted with a rifle.  It is what I have done for the last 30 years. About a month ago, a fully loaded bowhunting package passed into my hands, completely set up and ready to shoot. That desire to try bowhunting flashed back up and I saw the possibility of a check box on a bucket-list item. All that was left to do was determine whether I could fire up muscle memory from 30 years ago in time for the September 1 deer archery season in my area. I started by reaching out to the Kamloops Target Sports Association. The club has an active and talented group of archers. Mark Britton is one of them. He and his wife Katie are both members of the Canadian National Archery Team, and recently competed at the international 3D archery championships in Quebec. I spoke with Mark at one of the club's 3D archery shoots …. After I chatted with Mark, I met up with Al Campsall, who is another of the club's talented archers. He's been shooting bows and hunting with them for decades, and just missed a spot on the Canadian national archery team this year. He agreed to watch me shoot, and offered up several critical tips to set me on a better path … The next day, after my session with Al, I went back to the range and walked through the 3D archery course the club had set up in the sagebrush hills just behind the club's shooting range. It was a great experience, wandering through the draws and gullies in search of the 3D deer, bears cougars, elk and moose the club had staked out. It was as realistic a hunting experience as you can create on a range. And with the exception of one shot on a rubber deer at 45 yards, I stuck my arrows into all the right places. All that was left to do was go hunting. One week later, I met up with Brian Chan. Most people know Brian through fly-fishing. I learned this past summer he is also an avid bow hunter, having picked up the sport a few years ago. We sat down to review the first five days of the season, and what we both learned …. Another massive thunderstorm passed through our area the evening after Brian and I talked, stealing one of our hunts. I hunted out the last two days, but it became apparent the best of that early season hunting was done. My first archery season ended September 9, yesterday, with no meat in the freezer. I had two good chances though, so only myself to blame. Regardless, it was an amazing week of hunting, one that has changed how I view hunting. I know I won't put down my rifle for good, but there's a pretty good chance now I'm goi ng to take it out a lot less. As Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” After an intense week chasing deer with a bow, I can tell you that bowhunting's message feels a lot deeper. There's a lot there to explore and I plan to spend a great deal more time honing skills and getting ready for the next opportunity, whenever that might be…

This week we sit down with Stillwater specialist Phil Rowley from Edmonton Alberta. Fly tier, author and member of the gold medal winning team at the Canadian fly fishing championships, Phil has spent many years honing his craft. He also conducts fly fishing schools and has instructional DVD's with his good friend Brian Chan on Conquering chironomids. He is truly a wealth of knowledge on all things fly fishing. His passion is to share these skills with other fly fishers in order to shorten the learning curve.

Brian Chan discusses how image-guided injections targeted to the symptomatic ossicle can confirm suspected diagnoses and predict therapeutic outcomes before surgical intervention.  Read the accompanying article here: https://www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/AJR.18.20761

Brian Chan is a Canadian icon. Biologist, teacher, guide and groundbreaker, Brian is the man behind Interior British Columbia’s trophy stillwater fishery. Brian has dedicated his entire career to better understanding trout behaviour and diet.  I’ve been a huge fan of Brian’s for years, so I was ecstatic to have the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss his success with his renowned stocking program, plus his experience with triploids, chironomids, chaoborus, and... boobies.

Ask anyone who is interested in stillwater fly-fishing on B.C.'s interior lakes and they will tell you they have heard of Brian Chan. There are likely no anglers around who know more about rainbow trout and the best ways to catch them than Brian.Now retired, Brian is a former government fisheries biologist who has also devoted much of his life to sport fishing. More importantly, he has been willing to share with others all the knowledge he had developed through the years.He is the author of numerous books and guides on stillwater fly fishing. He is an expert fly tier and has an amazing body of knowledge on insects and their life stages. He has been featured in countless videos, hosted many workshops and helped countless numbers of anglers learn how to catch fish with flies in our local lakes.I had the privilege of sitting down with Brian recently in his Kamloops home to talk about rainbow trout, and why our part of the world is home to such spectacular angling …

This is another conversation Gudrun had during the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium which took place 5th – 8th April 2016 in Oxford. Since 2002 Anette Hosoi has been Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT (in Cambridge, Massachusetts). She is also a member of the Mathematical Faculty at MIT. After undergraduate education in Princeton she changed to Chicago for a Master's and her PhD in physics. Anette Hosoi wanted to do fluid dynamics even before she had any course on that topic. Then she started to work as Assistant Professor at MIT where everyone wanted to build robots. So she had to find an intersection between fluid and roboters. Her first project were Robo-snailes with her student Brian Chan. Snails move using a thin film of fluid under their foot (and muscles). Since then she has been working on the fascinating boundary of flow and biomechanics. At the BAM Colloquium she was invited for a plenary lecture on "Marine Mammals and Fluid Rectifiers: The Hydrodynamics of Hairy Surfaces". It started with a video of Boston dynamics which showed the terrific abilities some human-like robots have today. Nevertheless, these robots are rigid systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. Anette Hosoi is working in control and fluid mechanics and got interested in soft systems in the context of robots of a new type. Soft systems are a completely new way to construct robots and for that one has to rethink everything from the bottom up.You are a dreamer she was told for that more than once. For example Octopuses (and snails) move completely different to us and most animals the classcallly designed robots with two, four or more legs copy. At the moment the investigation of those motions is partially triggered by the plausible visualization in computer games and in animated movie sequences. A prominent example for that is the contribution of two mathematicians at UCLA to represent all interactions with snow in the animated movie Frozen. The short verison of their task was to get the physics right when snow falls off trees or people fall into snow - otherwise it just doesn't look right. To operate robots which are not built with mechanical devices but use properties of fluids to move one needs valves and pumps to control flow. They should be cheap and efficient and without any moving parts (since moving parts cause problems). A first famous example for such component is a fluid rectifier which was patented by Nicola Tesla in the 1920ies. His device relied on inertia. But in the small devices as necessary for the new robots there are no inertia. For that Anette Hosoi and her group need to implement new mechnisms. A promising effect is elasticity - especially in channels. Or putting hair on the boundary of channels. Hair can cause asymmetric behaviour in the system. In one direction it bends easily with the flow while in the opposite direction it might hinder flow. While trying to come up with clever ideas for the new type of robots the group found a topic which is present (almost) everywhere in biology - which means a gold mine for research and open questions. Of course hair is interacting with the flow and not just a rigid boundary and one has to admit that in real life applications the related flow area usually is not small (i.e. not negligible in modelling and computations). Mathematically spoken, the model needs a change in the results for the boundary layer. This is clear from the observations and the sought after applications. But it is clear from the mathematical model as well. At the moment they are able to treat the case of low Reynolds number and the linear Stokes equation which of course, is a simplification. But for that case the new boundary conditions are not too complicated and can be treated similar as for porous media (i.e. one has to find an effective permeability). Fortunately even analytic solutions could be calculated. As next steps it would be very interesting to model plunging hairy surfaces into fluids or withdrawing hairy surfaces from fluids (which is even more difficult). This would have a lot of interesting applications and a first question could be to find optimal hair arrangements. This would mean to copy tricks of bat tongues like people at Brown University are doing. References I. E.

Brian Chan visits Renew Church this week to speak to us about what we as Humans are attracted to and how Paul describes that attraction to God.

PLEASE NOTE: We’re deeply sorry that Brian’s talk cuts off at ~41 minute mark given technical difficulties at the conference. We pray the rest of the talk encourages you. Why does Zane Pratt say he is convinced that “business as missions will be the most significant tool forward for the spread of the gospel in unrestricted areas”? Brian Chan, a computer software engineer who strategically uses business as missions, answers in this talk. Brian Chan started and runs a for-profit secular software business, called Liferay, and uses it as means of glorifying God by spreading the Gospel and writing code. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 2000 and now lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife and two kids.

My apologies for the long break in publishing the episodes - I got distracted with a lot of work and once there is an interruption of a habit, you probably know how hard it is to get back into it. I hope to be on track again now and will publish the archive of already recorded episodes soon - and produce more of them. This is another episode recorded at the previous Liferay Retreat. I sat together with Jim Hinkey, Knowledge Engineer and part of Liferay's knowledgement and documentation team, since March 2011. He took over ownership of the developer's guide and is the guy to bring back javadoc to Liferay (more about this and how/why Liferay once lost its javadoc at the end of this episode) We talked about How Jim found Liferay Life in Raleigh/NC One of his biggest chokes, the (re)creation of javadocs for Liferay The process that Javadoc now has to go through in order to get into the product and other topics As I managed to get short hold of Brian Chan, I had the opportunity to ask two more quick questions - one about the day when Liferay lost all of its javadoc and one sneaky question about consistency with the example of ThemeDisplay. If you - like me - always wondered where this name came from, you'll have to listen to this episode

Liferay for your ears - I had the opportunity to record a session with 3/4 of the founders, namely all the Brians (simplifying the "y" in Bryan to "i" for this pluralization): Brian Chan (Chief Software Architect), Brian Kim (Chief Operating Officer), Bryan Cheung (Chief Executive Officer). Some of the topics we talked about: * How they met and started to work despite different music and food taste * How or if college grades (might) relate to real life * While they used to live on the same floor some time, now they are still on the same planet... * Crazy organic growth and the hardest year, Rooming arrangements and sacrifices during the startup phase * The honorary Brian (the fourth founder, who could not join the recording), Mike Young, and why he should use EJBs for his marriage, what risk he took * How Caris put up with Brian's activity after 10pm and got Liferay's invoices off of notepad * The long term plans, "no exit" strategy and how a business can help to do good * And at the end the microphone unexpectedly turned around, and I give away pieces of my history with Liferay You'll find this episode - and make sure that you don't miss any of the future episodes - by subscribing to http://feeds.feedburner.com/RadioLiferay with your favourite podcatcher.

Liferay for your ears: Episode 8 is a premiere in this program: Brian Chan, Liferay's founder and Chief Software Architect, is the first that I didn't record in a conversation: Instead this is a recording from Brian's closing keynote at the European Symposium. I had originally planned to record an episode with Brian, but during this keynote he already answered 80% of what I had on my list - and added another 80% that I did not have on my list. So for now I settled with the keynote, well worth listening to The introduction is done by Bryan Cheung, another member of Liferay's founding team and the Chief Executive Officer. As this is the full keynote, I really recommend to listen to it in full, and for that reason don't provide a bullet point list of the topics here. Just this: You'll learn a lot about the setup of the company, the vision, the reason why you want to work with Liferay - the product as well as the company. And why the company will stay with this vision for the foreseeable future. And where the name "Liferay" comes from. And so many more things - Brian is a fast speaker. One of the next episodes will be a follow-up to this episode, as I used the opportunity to sit down with 3/4 of the founder's team, namely all the Brians (This poses a spelling problem: What's the plural of "Brian, Brian and Bryan"? I'll make it "The Brians") You'll find this episode - and make sure that you don't miss any of the future episodes - by subscribing to http://feeds.feedburner.com/RadioLiferay with your favourite podcatcher.
