Ep 16 Founder Series Pt 1: A Lifetime of Spine Surgery, Motion Advocacy & Giving Back, Craig Humphreys, MD   In this first episode of our two-part Founder Series, co-hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Craig Humphreys, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, innovator, and pioneer in spine surgery, to discuss the evolution of motion preservation and the rewarding journey behind MOTUS—the first lumbar total joint replacement for the low back. From his early career in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to building a transformative spine practice in Soldotna, Alaska, Dr. Humphreys shares the journey of how he co-developed MOTUS (formerly the Kenai Device) with Dr. Scott Hodges. Their story began as a mission to offer patients a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion and culminated in the creation of a novel device aimed at restoring natural balance, maintaining motion, and preserving adjacent spinal levels.    For this episode, we had the opportunity to travel to Soldotna, Alaska and sit down with Dr. Humphreys in his home, situated on the Kenai River—the very place that inspired the original Kenai implant (now known as MOTUS). During our visit, Dr. Humphreys shares how a 3 a.m. epiphany and a hand-drawn sketch led to a breakthrough medical device, his struggles and triumphs in navigating the medical device industry, and why he believes motion preservation is the future of spine surgery.   Although Dr. Humphreys is native to Alaska, he started his medical education journey in the Midwest - graduating from the University of Notre Dame, receiving his medical degree at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, and completing his spine fellowship at The Medical College of Wisconsin. With over 25 years of experience, he has treated thousands of patients, contributed to major clinical advancements, and played a pivotal role in bringing motion preservation to the forefront of spine surgery. He has been instrumental in shaping the future of motion-preserving spine surgery, advocating for better long-term patient outcomes, and partaking in groundbreaking clinical trials.   In this episode, you'll learn: The reality of developing a medical device: Why bringing new technology to market takes decades. The evolution of spine care: Why the shift to motion preservation matters and is gaining momentum. The origins of MOTUS - the first lumbar total joint replacement: How a simple idea turned into a breakthrough device. The fight to change the standard of care: Why motion preservation is facing the same uphill battle as total hip and knee replacements once did. The availability of new technology: How new advancements are providing alternatives to spinal fusion for patients struggling with leg and/or back pain. A lifetime of impact: His philanthropic work through the Carolyn Jane Foundation, bringing critical pediatric spine care to Africa.   Beyond his contributions to spine care in Alaska, Dr. Humphreys and his wife, Julie Humphreys, RN, are deeply committed to philanthropy and global healthcare access. Through the Carolyn Jane Foundation, they provide life-changing scoliosis surgeries to children in underserved regions of Africa, ensuring that spine care is accessible to those who need it most. Their work has helped countless families, and their commitment to service is just as impactful as their innovations in spine surgery.   This episode is Part 1 of a 2-Part Founder Series. Check out Part 2 with Dr. Scott Hodges, where we go even deeper into the promise of motion preservation and patient outcomes! https://youtu.be/F8mdFKVf_2I     Note: The MOTUS device is currently in the data collection phase of a US IDE FDA Trial and is not available for commercial use at the time of recording.

Go to www.flyfishfinder.com to explore the latest app available, which is fly fishing exclusive and will truly improve your outings. In this episode, host Christian Bacasa interviews Dallas Voss, a fly fishing guide from Kenai, Alaska. They discuss the unique fly fishing experience on the Kenai River, particularly targeting rainbow trout and understanding the pink salmon years. Dallas emphasizes the importance of protecting rainbow trout and utilizing the salmon runs for sustenance fishing. They also discuss the accessibility and flexibility of fishing on the Kenai River, as well as the variety of activities and time commitment on the Kenai Peninsula. Dallas shares insights into providing gear and equipment for fishing, as well as the process of taking salmon home. They also touch on the systematic timing of salmon runs and the flossing technique for sockeye salmon. In this conversation, Dallas Voss shares insights and tips for fishing in Alaska, specifically on the Kenai River. He discusses the flossing technique and how it can be effective in hooking fish. He also explains the importance of proper hook sets and how to handle fish that are hooked in different areas. Dallas highlights the nuisance of catching sockeye salmon while targeting rainbow trout and the challenges of dealing with their teeth. He also talks about the unique experience of encountering bears in Alaska and emphasizes the importance of giving them space. Lastly, Dallas discusses the significance of pink salmon years and how they provide abundant food sources for rainbow trout.   Takeaways The Kenai River in Alaska offers a unique fly fishing experience, particularly for targeting rainbow trout and understanding the pink salmon years. Protecting rainbow trout and utilizing the salmon runs are important for sustaining the fishery and providing sustenance fishing opportunities. The Kenai River is accessible and flexible, allowing for day trips and a variety of activities for families and individuals. Gear and equipment are provided by guides, making it convenient for anglers to fish without bringing their own gear. The timing of salmon runs on the Kenai River varies, and each run offers different fishing opportunities. The flossing technique can be effective in hooking fish, but it's important to set the hook properly to avoid hooking fish in unintended areas. When targeting rainbow trout, it's common to encounter sockeye salmon, which can be a nuisance due to their abundance and teeth. Encountering bears in Alaska is a unique experience, but as long as you give them space and don't agitate them, they generally won't bother you. Pink salmon years provide abundant food sources for rainbow trout, making them larger and easier to target in specific areas. Understanding the natural cycles and behaviors of fish in Alaska can enhance the fishing experience and increase the chances of success.

His dad gave him a small vice and showed him how to tie flies. The very first fly he tied was a gray hackle peacock. George became truly passionate about fly fishing when he started catching fish with the flies he had tied himself. 5:08 - He shares a bit about how he began his career at Fish Alaska. Melissa Norris and his brother, Marcus, founded both Fish Alaska and Hunt Alaska magazines. For Fish Alaska, George primarily writes about fly fishing. Additionally, they have a "Fly of the Month" column, which is sponsored by Mossy's Fly Shop. 8:12 - George first connected with the Larsen brothers, who own the Togiak River Lodge, during his visit in 2022. His goal was to explore Chinook fishing and write a story about it. Unfortunately, the trip wasn't very successful due to poor water and weather conditions. Despite this, George believes that the Togiak River is a standout location for Chinook fly fishing, as it still boasts strong runs of fish in various sizes. 11:48 - George visited the lodge in mid-August this year, aiming to catch coho salmon on a fly. He successfully caught all five species of Pacific salmon—Chinook, coho, sockeye, chum, and pink salmon—in a single day on a fly rod. His cousin Tom achieved this feat twice in one week. 13:39 - He describes their success, noting that on an average day, he and Tom caught over 75 salmon of various species. Although their main goal was silvers, they caught multiple types of salmon, with the King salmon being the most challenging to catch at that time of year. Interestingly, they managed to achieve a "grand slam" of catching various salmon species by accident. 15:40 - We discuss sockeye salmon, which are less talked about in freshwater fishing. George mentions significant runs in areas like Naknek and Kenai. Sockeye are valued for their red meat and while they usually feed on plankton in the ocean, they can become territorial and bite more when in large groups. For Chum salmon George mentions that they are strong fighters, often leading to broken rods, though they might not look impressive. Pink salmon are smaller and change color quickly, causing them to be underrated, but fresh pinks are tasty, similar to trout. 20:31 - George enjoys the methodical aspect of spey casting, especially for winter steelhead, where catching even one fish is rewarding. He contrasts this with the excitement of fishing in the Togiak River, where large fish are caught more frequently. 26:47 - George highlights the Togiak River Lodge's multiple packages for anglers. He also notes an important change in their policy: during the first few weeks of the fishing season, the lodge will limit the number of anglers from 24 to 14. This adjustment is aimed at providing a better experience for those specifically interested in fishing for King salmon. 27:34 - We dig into the evolving perspectives on fishing practices in Alaska, emphasizing a shift away from the traditional "whack them and stack them" mentality towards more sustainable approaches. George highlights the importance of targeting abundant fish species such as sockeye, pink, and coho salmon, while questioning the necessity of taking large quantities of fish home. Our conversation highlights the need for anglers to adapt to changing times and prioritize sustainable practices. While Alaska has been perceived as having unlimited fish supplies, current trends suggest a need for caution and conservation. 33:36 -We discuss the current state of fly fishing and the associated challenges in different regions, including Alaska and the Skeena system. Fishing restrictions, such as closures on Chinook fishing, are not only happening in Alaska but in other areas as well. 38:50 - George recounts spending extensive time fishing on the Kenai River and now frequently visits the Naknek River for its excellent rainbow trout fishing opportunities. He also highlights the overlooked potential of stillwater fishing around Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula. He notes that many lakes in Alaska are stocked with fish and, unlike in the lower 48 states, they are not heavily fished. This means that these lakes often contain multiple age classes of fish, some reaching up to 30 inches long. 43:53 - The Fish Alaska website provides a free trip planning service. This service allows users to input information, after which they receive details and recommendations about where to go. George explains that the service typically recommends lodges or outfitters in the area of the user's intended destination. Additionally, when users submit their information, it is shared with these recommended operations, who may also contact the users to offer further assistance. 44:40 - George addresses the challenges facing the Chinook salmon fishery, particularly the commercial troll fishery in Southeast Alaska. A significant issue is that the fish caught are often not native to Alaska, and the average size of Chinook salmon along the west coast is decreasing. This size reduction is attributed to the fish being more vulnerable to overfishing in the ocean before they can return to spawn. He suggests that Chinook salmon management should be coordinated along the entire west coast, acknowledging their migratory and feeding patterns rather than being limited by political boundaries. 49:08 - George also expresses concern about the potential decline of Coho salmon in South Central Alaska, noting low returns in areas like Anchorage and Homer. He speculates that if Coho face decline, it might not be due to trawl fisheries but rather the impact of pink salmon hatchery operations. 53:43 - George clarifies the difference between trawl and troll fishing, emphasizing the impact of the former on marine environments and fish populations. 56:44 - He describes the experience of visiting the Togiak River Lodge, detailing the journey and accommodations. He also highlights the excellent food they have in the lodge. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/674   

Our weekly deep dive goes deeeep today. Brad Keithley comes in and this three topics are: AKLNG & Data Centers; Persily's hypocrisy; Kenai & Fairbanks races are heating up. In the beginning of hour tow I'll recap with some of my thoughts and then we'll finish up with our weekly life coaching lesson from Chris Story.

Today we'll spend hour one going over some of the headlines from around the state as well as discussing early voting and why we (conservatives) seem to be so bad at it. Then in hour two we'll pick it up with Candidate for State House Ron Gillham from down in the Kenai.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/665 Presented By:   Drifthook Fly Fishing, Angler's Coffee, Togiak River Lodge, Yellowstone Teton Territory Jonathan Farmer, steelhead fly tying guru and author of Chasing Chrome: Tying Steelhead and Pacific Salmon Flies is here to take us into his world of Alaska and steelhead fishing. We'll hear the stories behind flies like the Graboid, Led Zep Prawn, and Mini Me, plus why Jonathan's shifting to more natural patterns and how he picks his colors. Jonathan ties some of the cleanest flies you'll ever see. He's been putting in 40 to 70 hours a week for over 10 years! Find out why so many people are looking him up and how his book is packed with tips to help you understand fly design. Ready to pick up some tricks from a pro? Grab a notepad. You're going to want to jot these down! Show Notes with Jonathan Farmer on Tying Steelhead and Pacific Salmon Flies.  11:17 – Fly fishing started for Jonathan when he was just 17 during a backcountry camp in Colorado. He started with conventional fishing and even joined tournaments in Texas. He worked on sport fishing yachts in South Florida before moving to Alaska, where he got into fly fishing. 12:14 – Jonathan shares that each season in Alaska offers unique opportunities. In spring, he loves stone fly fishing on the Kenai. Summer brings great dry fly action and swinging wet flies. By fall, fish target spawning sockeye. Steelhead and Pacific Salmon Flies Chasing Chrome: Tying Steelhead and Pacific Salmon Flies 21:20 – Jonathan talks about how he always wanted to write a fishing book. A few years ago, he started jotting down thoughts but put them aside. He teamed up with Mike at Mossy's Fly Shop for help with photos. 24:18 – The book features Jonathan's favorite steelhead and Pacific salmon flies, complete with step-by-step instructions. He says the book wouldn't be what it is without Marty Howard's input on its layout and design. Marty also co-wrote the book Steelhead Fly Tying Art and Design with Dec Hogan. Check out our episode with Dec Hogan here! Steelhead and Pacific Salmon Flies  The Book's Creation 30:37 – Jonathan said the toughest part of writing his book was the editing process. He followed Marty's advice and printed three copies for friends to review. Visit Jonathan's website or Instagram to grab your copy of his book. You can also get a signed copy, which comes with three flies from the book! 34:07 – The book covers fly-tying techniques and color choices. Jonathan mentioned that while some flies, like the Led Zep Prawn, are super fun to tie, they can be complex. He enjoys having a fly box just to admire the cool designs, even if he doesn't fish with all of them all the time. Watch this video of Jonathan tying the Led Zep Prawn on Youtube: The Challenge of Naming Flies 36:08 – There are 21 unique flies in the book that Jonathan created himself. He said that designing flies is probably easier than naming them. “The Graboid,” was named by a friend without even knowing it. Many of his flies have music-themed names, like “Sure Shot,” inspired by the Beastie Boys, and “Crown Jewel,” from Brother Ali. He even has a tube fly named “Zoomer,” which was created during a Zoom course.   Finding the Perfect Steelhead Fly Proportions 52:29 – Jonathan has been tying flies for nearly a decade and puts in a serious amount of hours—sometimes 70 a week! 53:26 – We dive into how to balance materials when tying the perfect steelhead fly. It's all about finding the right proportions—not too sparse, but not overly bulky either. If a fly feels too full, he advises creating a channel to slim it down. Jonathan reminds us that even experienced tiers sometimes end up with flies that are a bit bulkier than intended, and it's okay to make adjustments.   55:39 – Bulky flies don't move or breathe well in the water, which affects how they mimic bait. A fly that casts poorly or looks stiff in the water won't attract fish. Jonathan uses a tank in his office to test the movement of his flies. If it doesn't swim or breathe right after a few hours, it's a no-go for him, and he tosses it. The Mini-Me Graboid  Jonathan shares the story of the Mini-Me fly. The Mini Me uses pine squirrel instead of rabbit, making it a smaller, more versatile fly. Jonathan uses it for steelhead, coho, and trout, especially in colors like black and red or black and blue.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/636 Presented By: FishHound Expeditions  Today, we hang out with Shannon Martin, executive director of the Kenai Sport Fishing Association. She's here to take us behind the scenes into what they are doing to protect the best salmon rivers in the country. Plus, we'll get an update on the Chinook status in this area. Have you heard of the suicide run? It's a multi-day fishing adventure where anglers stay up all night, catching their limit for the day and getting their limit again for the next day. There's nothing better than Alaska King Salmon. Let's jump into it with Shannon and KRSA. Show Notes with Shannon Martin on Kenai River Sportfishing Association. 02:34 - Shannon grew up in Alaska, where fishing has always been part of her life. About 15 years ago, her brother retired from the Army and got into fly fishing on the Kenai River. Shannon joined him, fell in love with it, and got hooked. Fly Fishing the Kenai River  03:48 -  The Kenai River is over 80 miles long with more than 15 public access points. The river is famous for its huge salmon, including the world record King salmon that weighed 97 pounds.   The "Suicide Run" and Dip Net Fishing 06:26 - The "suicide run" is a unique way to fish on the Kenai River. You get off work at 5:00 PM in Anchorage, drive down to the river, catch your limit of salmon by midnight, and then catch the next day's limit after midnight. This July, the sockeye salmon run is expected to bring in about 3.3 million fish, making it a great time to try out a suicide run. Dip net fishing is only for Alaska residents where they can harvest salmon using a five-foot-wide hoop net. Each household gets 25 fish for the head of the household and an additional 10 for each dependent.  Kenai River Sportfishing Association 10:25 - Kenai River Sport Fishing Association was founded in 1984 by Bob Penney to protect Chinook salmon. Commercial fishing, especially with gill nets, impacts Chinook as they return to spawn. KRSA aims to balance commercial interests with preserving fish stocks for future generations. Check out our episode with Adam of FishHound Expeditions! He talked about his experience visiting Capitol Hill to spread the word about the issues facing Alaska's fish. 16:42 - Shannon explains how heavy foot traffic on the Kenai River banks harms salmon habitats. To fix this, they've built light-penetrating boardwalks. These walkways let people access the river without damaging the vegetation that holds the banks together. 18:35 - KRSA hosts events like the Kenai River Spring Cleanup, where local students help remove litter from the riverbanks. They organize the Jr Classic in the fall, where they introduce around 100 children to fishing and water safety. 24:19 - Shannon talks about the importance of educating anglers on proper catch and release techniques, especially for the declining Chinook salmon. 31:24 - We talk about KRSA's major project with Alaska State Parks to restore and improve a popular state recreation site on the Kenai. This includes: Installing light-penetrating boardwalks Adding stairwells Providing offsite parking Kenai River Classic 33:58 - The Kenai River Classic functions as not only an educational opportunity for KRSA to get together with local policymakers and philanthropists, but it's also a fundraiser.  Highlights of the Kenai River Classic include: A three-day fishing event for about 150 participants The national round table on sport fish policy, in partnership with Yamaha Rightwaters Speakers from the American Sport Fishing Association and local tribal entities discussing important topics like the MMPA and in-river fishery protection.
