Callan Wink is a novelist and full-time fly-fishing guide based in Montana. His writing style is highly acclaimed for its vivid descriptions and themes of rural life in the American West. His work is often compared to that of Jim Harrison, who was his friend and fishing companion. Wink's debut collection of short stories, Dog Run Moon (2016), garnered critical acclaim for its lyrical prose and resonant storytelling. In August (2022), Wink's debut novel, he weaves a coming-of-age story set following a young man as he navigates the complexities of adulthood and self-discovery. Through August's journey, the novel explores the struggles of finding one's own path while being tied to the past. Wink's latest novel, Beartooth, which officially comes out this year, is set in Montana's Beartooth Mountains, where we follow two brothers who go to dangerous lengths to live off the grid in a still wild land. Wink's writing comes alive with a keen understanding of the landscape and a vivid portrayal of people living on the margins of society. Wink has contributed essays to Anglers Journal for years now, where the reader gets to see a bit of his lighter side. His latest piece, “Locals Only,” applies lessons he's learned from seasoned surfers to the crowded trout rivers of Montana. The story is featured in the Winter '25 issue.

There are certain joys, certain constants when it comes to the world of beer. And one of those has to be the pleasure when scanning the bar for a pint and you happen across the pump clip for Jaipur on cask.It's a seminal beer that has stood the test of time and this year the brewery responsible, Thornbridge, based in the Derbyshire Dales, celebrates the 20th anniversary of both that beer and the business, too.The Thornbridge story began back in 2005 when founders Jim Harrison and Simon Webster recruited two young brewers to brew on a second hand 10-barrel kit in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall.A journey that began in the small Stonemasons Workshop at Thornbridge Hall is one that has gone on to grow into the Riverside Brewery in Bakewell where the team produce some nine million pints of beer each year.Like any good business, the brewery has moved with the times. While Jaipur remains the flagship, its gluten-free Helles Lukas and Green Mountain, a 4.3% Hazy Session IPA, also account for a significant amount of the brewery's production.Thanks to a brewing team led by Ben Wood, Dominic Driscoll and Rob Lovatt, they create beers that cater for a wide and diverse audience.So as the celebrated brewery embarks on a year that will toast two decades in business, we caught up with co-founder Simon Webster to discuss the Thornbridge journey. We look at the recent fantastic new addition of a Burton Union set, why collaborations continue to play a key part in the brewery's proposition and, with new pub openings on the horizon, why Simon believes that such environments remain the best choice when it comes to enjoying a beer.

“In solitude, I often feel closer to the people I care for than when they're in the same room.” –Pico Iyer In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Pico talk about how the best travels are often counterbalanced with a kind of stillness, in which one can find one’s “best self” (3:00); Pico’s decades-long experiences with monks in a California monastery, the benefits of a “childlike attitude” toward life, and how “fire” can be a metaphor for spiritual life (12:00); how Pico’s solitude is informed by, and in conversation with, nature (22:00); Pico’s engaged relationship with spiritual communities, even though he is not religious (30:00); the “counterculture” spiritual tradition that grew up around Big Sur, California, and the power of longing (39:00); and how solitude can be a gateway to other people (47:00). Pico Iyer (@PicoIyer) is a novelist, essayist, and author. His newest book is Aflame: Learning from Silence.

POST FACE, émission présentée par Caroline Gutmann Elle reçoit Bruno Corty pour son "Dictionnaire amoureux de la littérature américaine" aux éditions Plon. À propos du livre : « Dictionnaire amoureux de la littérature américaine » paru aux éditions Plon Bruno Corty est passionné par la littérature américaine depuis l'adolescence. Après avoir rencontré nombre de ses auteurs, il nous livre son abécédaire amoureux, un voyage dans le temps et l'espace, un hommage à celles et ceux qui l'ont fait rêver, qui l'ont bousculé et bouleversé. Il était une fois l'Amérique. Dès l'enfance, Bruno Corty a plongé dans ses espaces infinis, marché avec Thoreau, descendu le Mississippi avec Mark Twain, pris la mer avec Jack London et Herman Melville, tremblé avec Edgar Allan Poe. Pendant ses études, il s'est passionné pour les romans de Dos Passos, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Hemingway. Devenu journaliste littéraire à la fin des années 80, il a découvert, sur les conseils d'amis éditeurs, les littératures de genre, du fantastique au polar. Il a eu la chance de rencontrer beaucoup d'auteurs : Norman Mailer, John Irving, James Ellroy, Don DeLillo, Russell Banks, Paul Auster, Richard Ford, Jim Harrison, James Salter, Stephen King... Son Amérique à lui raconte la Génération perdue, la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, la Chasse aux sorcières, la Beat Generation, les années Kennedy et Marilyn, le Nouveau Journalisme, le Viêt-Nam, Dylan prix Nobel. C'est New York et Los Angeles, San Francisco et la Louisiane, Jim Morrison et Patti Smith, Elia Kazan et Michael Cimino, des chanteurs, des poètes, des cinéastes devenus écrivains. La littérature américaine a deux siècles. C'est peu et c'est gigantesque au regard du nombre de ses chefs d'œuvres : de Moby Dick à Sanctuaire, de La Lettre écarlate à L'Attrape-cœurs, de Gatsby le magnifique au Dahlia noir, de Manhattan Transfer à L'Adieu aux armes. Bruno Corty, rédacteur en chef du Figaro littéraire, nourrit depuis toujours une passion pour la littérature américaine. Il a logiquement publié des textes sur les deux monstres que sont James Ellroy et Bret Easton Ellis. Il a également participé au manifeste L'aventure, pour quoi faire ?

L'immense écrivain américain Jim Harrison était un bec fin passionné. Ses ouvrages tels "Aventures d'un gourmand vagabond" ou "Un sacré gueuleton" nous rappellent combien son amour de la bonne chère a jalonné sa vie, ses amitiés et ses voyages.

L'écrivain, traducteur et éditeur français Brice Matthieussent est notre invité pour son "Petit éloge de l'Amérique" (Folio). « L'idée d'un ‘petit éloge' ou d'un éloge mesuré, raisonnable, de l'Amérique me semble incongrue, voire erronée : j'aime ce pays avec passion et un autre en moi déteste furieusement certains aspects du même pays. Voilà pourquoi nous sommes deux, pourquoi nous parlerons à deux, l'un critiquant l'œuvre de Dieu, l'autre défendant la part du Diable, mais tous deux dialoguant sans jamais avoir recours à l'insulte ni à la vocifération, nos échanges témoignant d'une confiance partagée en l'oreille de l'autre. Ainsi, loin des diatribes et des échauffourées, notre entretien évoquera davantage une conversation, chacun écoutant l'autre, chacun plaidant sa cause à tour de rôle en tenant compte des arguments de l'autre. Par quoi commençons-nous ? » Ouvrant un dialogue avec lui-même autant qu'avec quelques immenses voix de la littérature américaine – Whitman, Dickinson, Kerouac, Harrison… –, Brice Matthieussent compose, attentif à ses multiplicités, un éloge de l'Amérique en forme d'archipel.

Elle revient sur son rapport à la parole et à l'écrit, son amour des contes et de tout ce qui ouvre l'imaginaire, son attachement aux livres et sa passion pour le film “L'Histoire sans fin” de Wolfgang Petersen ou le roman “Dalva” de Jim Harrison. Après des études de philosophie, elle commence sa carrière au “Figaro” avant de basculer vers la radio où elle s'épanouit. Elle se confie sur l'art de l'interview, qu'elle voit comme une manière de raconter une histoire avec un début, un milieu et une fin.Elle revient longuement sur sa passion pour la variété. « Adolescente, je passais des heures devant mon poste radio. J'avais cinq stations différentes pré­enregistrées : Nostalgie, Chérie FM, Europe 2, RTL 2 et RFM. Et je passais de l'une à l'autre de manière hystérique.

Most people who interview Tom want to talk about his crazy days in Key West in the 1970s, , fishing for tarpon with Jim Harrison, Guy de la Valdene, Jimmy Buffet, and other notable characters. However, in the podcast we talk about what he is doing now—his fascination with small-stream trout fishing, why he would rather wade than fish from a boat, his opinion on guides who yell at their clients, and how to grow old gracefully and still continue to fish with a fly rod. It was a real honor to chat with him and I know you'll enjoy this very special podcast. In the Fly Box this week, we have some wonderful and thought-provoking questions and tips form listeners, including: What is that white rod that Pete Kutzer uses in your casting videos? Is there a written history of Orvis? What is the best reel lubricant, and how should I maintain my cork drag surface? Can dumbbell eyes damage fly rods? If so, what should I do to keep flies tied with them from hitting my rod? Do trout eat those little black and brown stoneflies that hatch during the winter and early spring?  Can you explain when I would use weighted flies vs. split shot vs. poly leaders when fishing nymphs? Can you compare the relative advantages of the 10 1/2-foot 3-weight and the 11-foot 3-weight Blackout rod? I saw people catching fish on nymphs. I tried exactly the same patterns and didn't catch anything. Why? I have a reel that takes a 9-weight line. Can I get an extra spool and put it on my 7-weight rod?

I get frequent questions from listeners on what I would recommend they read in fly-fishing literature, as there is so much out there it's tough to sort through it to find what's worth reading.  Michael Checchio [38:10] is a retired journalist and investigative reporter and a student of fly-fishing books, so we spend some time discussing what he feels are must-reads (or maybe just interesting reads) in the vast river of what has been written about fly fishing. Here is Michael's list:   Fiction A River Runs through It by Norman Maclean "Big Two-Hearted River" by Ernest Hemingway (short story) Ninety-Two in the Shade by Thomas McGuane The River Why by David James Duncan Non-fiction  The Longest Silence by Thomas McGuane The Angler's Coast and Dark Waters by Russell Chatham The Curtis Creek Manifesto by Sheridan Anderson "Hat Creek" and "Deeds Among the Steelhead" by Bill Barich (magazine articles; may be tough to find) The Spawning Run by William Humphrey Trout Bum by John Gierach "The Same River Twice" by David Quammen (published in Outside Magazine) "A Sporting Life" by Jim Harrison (magazine article, may be tough to find) My Story as Told by Water by David James Duncan In the Fly Box this week, we have lots of questions and tips, including: How do I know when to strip strike and when to trout strike? Do I really need to go barbless on small dry-fly hooks? How do I know what size material to use if I want to lengthen my leader? A great tip from a listener on learning to cast with your "off" hand A tip from a listener on wetting new tying materials befor you use them to see what color they will be Why do I only see larger wild brown trout in one section of a river I fish? How do I see my sighter in difficult lighting conditions? If I am fishing for stocked rainbows and grayling, where should I place my grayling fly—on the bottom or on the dropper? Should I use my 10-foot 7-weight Recon that I use for steelhead for streamer fishing from a boat for trout? What is the main difference between a Helios D and Helios F rod when fishing for bonefish? My bamboo ferrule only fits ¾ of the way to full engagement.  Is that OK? Why do I see steelhead smolt in my river but never chinook salmon smolt? Is there any way to get the bad smell off a bucktail? Why don't people fish bucktails much these days? Is there a way to tell a northern strain from a southern strain brook trout visually?

Dan Lahren was born in the great western town of Livingston, Montana in 1955. When he was in 7th grade the local fishing icon, Dan Bailey, gave him a fly rod which cemented his life long love affair with fishing and the local waters around the Yellowstone river. Between the ages of 3 and 10 his family traveled often and he found himself in eleven different schools. At the age of 12, he was living alone in the Murray hotel, downtown Livingston. His parent's marriage had crashed. The railroad which passed through town was a major station connecting the midwest to the west coast. Naturally there was discord between the railroad kids and the locals, and fighting became common. Dan grew up hard and fast. He spent his early adult life chasing many occupations in the north west, but Livingston was in his DNA and he returned to his roots in 1981. He refined a life of fishing and hunting, cooking became an art form and he gravitated to many well know writers and actors who also found a life in the valley. Among others he eventually became great friends with Jim Harrison and Anthony Bourdain. Their passing hurt deeply, but Dan's stories of them fills him with joy. Lahren is a wealth of knowledge, has a great sense of humor, and has earned a voice to be listened to.

Doug Peacock - 50 Years of Fighting for the Grizzlies

Doug Peacock is a legendary environmentalist, writer, filmmaker, and grizzly bear advocate. He's the co-founder of two conversation nonprofits– Round River Conservation Studies and Save the Yellowstone Grizzly. Doug was also the inspiration for the character George Washington Hayduke in his friend Edward Abbey's classic novel "The Monkey Wrench Gang." And to top it all off, he is the author of many classic books, including "Grizzly Years: In Search of the American Wilderness" and his most recent award-winning book "Was it Worth It? A Wilderness Warrior's Long Trail Home," published by Patagonia Books. - Doug was born and raised in Michigan, where he grew up obsessed with nature and the outdoors. As a young man, he was drafted into the Vietnam War, where he served as a Green Beret combat medic, an experience that placed him squarely in the middle of devastating violence toward his fellow soldiers, as well as civilian men, women, and children. In 1968, he returned home from Vietnam spiritually broken, mentally unwell, and physically debilitated with malaria. Not knowing where to turn, he headed deep into the wilderness of Yellowstone National Park by himself, where he formed an unlikely bond with the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear. Eventually, he recovered both physically and mentally and, to this day, he credits the grizzly with saving his life. He has spent the last half-century repaying his debt to the grizzly bear, aggressively fighting for their protection and recovery in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and beyond. - I met up with Doug in Aspen, Colorado, where he was in town for a reading of "Was it Worth It?" at Aspen's only bookstore, Explore Booksellers. Even though I could've talked with Doug for many hours, we managed to jam a lot of stories into this conversation. Some of the topics we discussed include: Why Doug does not carry a gun in grizzly country; why it is important for humans to love and protect a creature as powerful, even dangerous, as a grizzly; his friendships with Edward Abbey, Yvon Chouinard, Jim Harrison, and others, and how each of those high-voltage personalities helped to elevate the others; the death and secret burial of Edward Abbey; why climate changes is such a threat to grizzlies, the challenges and financial realities of a life dedicated to environmental advocacy; his greatest source of pride and greatest disappointment; what is giving him hope now; and Doug reads several passages from "Was It Worth It?'" - Even as he's getting on up there in age, today, at age 81, you can still feel the fire in Doug's spirit, and his passion for grizzlies is palpable. I was honored to have the opportunity to chat with Doug, and I loved his book "Was it Worth It?" I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. --- Doug Peacock "Was it Worth It?

"I may be crucified for this... but happily!" Sam Bercholz is the Founder and Editor In Chief of Shambhala Publications, was an attendant, student, close friend and constant collaborator of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's for the last 17 years of his life, publishing virtually Trungpa's entire literary catalog. He co-hosted a weekly public radio show with Alan Watts (produced by an Anton Lavey devotee), and Sam personally introduced Trungpa Rinpoche to Alan Watts ("Alan was Trunpa's literary hero.") He shares the details of their first meeting, and the bombshell first impression Alan Watts made on Trungpa Rinpoche ("That was a horrible disappointment"). Sam also made the introduction between renowned Zen Master Suzuki Roshi and Trungpa Rinpoche, which became a lifelong friendship between the two most significant Buddhist teachers in North American history. Sam also grew up with Alan Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Lex Hixon, was the original mover and shaker of the spiritual boom in the Bay Area in the late 1960's and 70's. He even hosted His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (considered the living Buddha of the last 100 years) on his only visit to North America in 1976. Sam tells mind-blowing stories of what it was like for him to be the "designated driver" for Trungpa Rinpoche's early acid tests with his students ("best job ever") and how Trungpa never appeared to be affected by the LSD or the alcohol intake. Sam shares (for the first time publicly) his feelings about the controversial offshoot Shambhala Buddhism, which he reveals was created years after Trungpa Rinpoche's death, without his personal blessing and against many of his students support. "I tried to stop Shambhala Buddhism from happening. I thought it was a mistake to create a new religion, because Trungpa Rinpoche was not into starting new religions." Sam also shares about his relationship with legendary poet Jim Harrison, and towards the end of the podcast, fields questions from Jaymee's student Tim D'amico and his partner Lacee. "I had many meetings with Trungpa Rinpoche while he was taking a crap..." - Sam Bercholz *LOVE IS THE AUTHOR: produced, edited, and hosted by Jaymee Carpenter. *Recorded live on location: Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, CA. *Opening/closing music: "Spinning Love" by Sam Cohen (30th Century Records) *Follow LITA on Instagram: @loveistheauthor LOVE IS THE AUTHOR: produced, edited, and hosted by Jaymee Carpenter.

Tom McGuane is a giant among legends across all continents and countries. His boundless heart and endless determination tackled dreams only he could've accomplished. Tom's extraordinary writing is in the record books and for the rest of time he'll be remember as one of the greats. His literary spectrum includes ten novels, five screen plays, and countless short stories. His work has received a page full of awards culminating with his induction into The American Academy of Arts and Letters. But then there's the fishing, the hunting, and the HORSES; cutting horses. Tom McGuane is a savant of many talents! Although he was born in Michigan, his heart ventured west. As a young man he worked on a ranch in Wyoming where he first got his boots dirty. After the success of his book and movie “Sporting Club," he bought a ranch in Montana and property in Key West. His life on a horse became extremely important to him and he became a great “cutter” often beating the best in the world and eventually was inducted into The Cutting Horse Hall of Fame. But it was in Key West where Tom McGuane caught fire. It was there, when his writing was young and his aspirations were as vibrant as the blistering sun. Literature, fishing, and adventures after dark took on a life of its own. It was there, where of a handful of friends, all writers too, became a brotherhood that challenged life's offering to its fullest. Jim Harrison, Russell Chatham, Guy De La Valdene, Jimmy Buffett, Hunter S.Thompson, and Kurt Brautigan did what the rest of the world wished they could do. They had more fun than the law allowed and were brilliant with everything they touched. Each would become extremely successful and famous. But as much as anything else, they loved to fish. What most the fishing world doesn't know is that these guys put Tarpon fishing on the map. And they made a movie about it called, "Tarpon." This production showed what a magnificent, beautiful, ageless fish it is. It loves to eat flies, it's big and jumps majestically.... It's the most perfect fly rod fish one could ever have the privilege to catch. As much as Tom McGuane has accomplished, his greatest success is having Laurie Buffett as his wife and their daughter Annie. And fathering two other children, Thomas and Maggie with former wives, Rebecca Crocket and Margot Kidder.

Chris Dombrowski is a Missoula-based writer, poet, teacher, and fishing guide, and he's also the author of the excellent new book “The River You Touch: Making a Life on Moving Water.” If you're a longtime Mountain & Prairie listener, you probably remember Chris's first appearance on the podcast in which we discussed his first book “Body of Water” and his poetry collection, “Ragged Anthem.” Since that first conversation, Chris has become a great friend, sounding board, and supporter, and his generous spirit and creative commitment continue to be a huge source of inspiration for everything I'm trying to do here at Mountain & Prairie. - Like me, Chris is not originally from the West, but since moving here, he has built a meaningful, purpose-driven life that is deeply connected to the region's rugged land and powerful rivers. Whether guiding fishing clients on the Big Hole, foraging food with his family, or hunting birds with his dog Zeke, the West's wild places are a cornerstone of Chris's life– professionally, personally, and spiritually. His new book “The River You Touch” offers rich insights into his journey from his home state of Michigan to his now-home of Montana, as well as his personal evolution as a husband, father, friend, and community member. Beautifully written, surprisingly vulnerable, and extremely inspiring, “The River You Touch” is one of the best books I've read this year. - Chris and I connected virtually and had a fun conversation about the book, fatherhood, adventure, writing, and much more. We started by discussing how “The River You Touch” came to be, which has an interesting connection to our first podcast conversation. We talk about his process of combining poetic prose with non-fiction narrative, as well as his desire to explore ideas around masculinity and vulnerability. We talk a lot about Jim Harrison– their friendship, Harrison's genius, and his other-worldly work ethic. We discuss family, the blessing of having strong and tough wives, advice for aspiring writers, and more good book recommendations. Enjoy! --- Chris Dombrowski "The River Your Touch" by Chris Dombrowski Episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/chris-dombrowski-2/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 3:15 - Chris talks about how he came upon the idea that became his most recent book, The River You Touch 8:30 - Chris discusses his motivations for writing 14:30 - Chris talks about his writing process for The River Your Touch 20:30 - Chris discusses being vulnerable in his writing 30:30 - Chris talks about the need for more writing that discusses masculinity and vulnerability 34:45 - Chris discusses his relationship with Jim Harrison and how he operated with such a work hard, play hard mentality 42:15 - Chris explains the advice he received from Jim Harrison: “Don't let your life become the sloppy leftovers of your work.” 45:45 - Chris reads a section from The River You Touch 48:30  - Chris discusses his thinking regarding having children and their environmental impact 51:45 - Chris talks about his wife and continuing his writing career after having children 54:15 - Chris discusses how he advises students who may not want to write as much as they think they do 1:00:15 - Chris talks about his audiobook narrator for The River You Touch 1:04:00 - Chris's book recommendations --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

I have been waiting years to have this conversation with author, poet, and fly-fishing guide Chris Dombrowski. There is a kinship I feel with Chris's lens on life. He is a top-shelf writer to boot. The River You Touch: Making a Life on Moving Water comes out October 11th, 2022. I have read it and pre-ordered multiple copies for friends and family. If you are a longtime listener, you know I do not ever do a hard sell. Buy this book for yourself. And another for any friend who seeks to live a mindful and creative life in the throes of responsibility to family, self, community, and a little plot of land on the planet. Published by the fine folks at Milkweed Editions, they will ship The River You Touch for free when your order from milkweed.org before October 11th, 2022. Alright, I am getting off my soapbox.  Chris Dombrowski is a poet, author, teacher, and fly-fishing guide. His nonfiction debut, Body of Water: A Sage, A Seeker, and the World's Most Alluring Fish (Milkweed Editions, 2016), was hailed in The New York Times Book Review and drew comparisons to Gary Snyder and John McPhee in the Wall Street Journal; and Orion magazine called it “a spiritual memoir in the tradition of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek". I loved Body of Water and I think Dombrowski's latest book, The River You Touch is even better. It runs its hands through the currents of place, vocation, creativity, and community. In our conversation Chris and I talk about parenting, the calling of a place, poetry of children, accepting the complex humanity of mentors, and the intricacies of sparkling water.  Buy this book. You will reread it and gift it to those who understand that "in a life properly lived, you are a river"*.  Visit Chris's website at cdombrowski.com to keep tabs on his work in the world Follow Chris on social media: @dombrowski_chris Visit Contemplify.com

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/359 Presented By: Zoe Angling Group, Jackson Hole Fly Company, Togens Fly Shop Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors John Gierach breaks out an amazing episode in this one as he talks about how he came to become one of the greatest fly fishing writers in the world. We dig into some of his books including the famous, Trout Bum and we also chat about his favorite writers. We also talk about the hippie movement in the 60s, weed, death in Colorado fly fishing, and much more. I'm excited to share a little perspective into the life, times, struggles and stories of the great John Gierach. Show Notes with John Gierach 12:45 - John Shewey was on in episode 16 and talked about the process of writing and battling resistance. 15:20 - Thomas McGuane said as a writer, your only currency is your readership. My currency is my guests as noted by John in this episode. 17:00 - Tim Rawlins was on the show in episode 27 to talk about Spey Casting. 19:20 - Trout Bum was one of John's first books published. He talks about how he has always just told stories. 21:55 - Roger Angell wrote for the New Yorker and wrote the essay This Old Man - John noted how amazing Roger described the hand pistol in the essay. 27:10 - April Volkey was on the podcast in episode 30 34:00 - Ed Engle and John McPhee are two big mentors for John. 34:20 - Draft No. 4 is a great book that John says everyone should read if you are interested in writing. 33:20 - AK Best was a big mentor who helped John really get started early on. Ak's Fly Box was one of Ak's biggest books. 36:30 - A Fly Rod of Your Own is John's most recent book. John describes a little about his writing style in the podcast. 39:25 - In episode 5 Jim Teeny noted the article on throwing rocks on fish to move steelhead into place. I noted the idea of throwing spoons out to get steelhead into range for the fly fisherman to catch it. John didn't recall what I was talking about but shared another great story. 56:30 - John tells the story of when he thought he was going to die in a plane crash 1:05:30 - A cougar killed a hiker in Oregon and it's the first time ever that happened in Oregon history 1:15:00 - The Joe Rogan Podcast where the CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, smoked weed on live air. I ask John if he would smoke in our episode today. 1:16:15 - The Beatles came out with the White Album partly due to a change in drug use. I ask John the same question about his writing and whether there were changes before and after. 1:18:05 - The Parachute Hare's Ear and a hares ear soft hackle behind it are his goto flies. 1:18:30 - Mary Alice Monroe tells a great story and a writer he follows along with Jim Harrison and Peter Mathison. Conclusion with John Gierach I hope you enjoyed that episode with John Gierach as much as I did. Did you catch the few times that I was completely surprised by John? We went down a few rabbit holes unrelated to fly fishing including weed and the 1960s. John also covered a bunch of topics related to the 20 great fly fishing books he has written over the years. I could have gone for hours with John on this one but had to respect his time. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/359
