Along one of the best stretches of the Truckee River for fishing, a private landowner in Hirschdale has been blocking legal public access by placing no trespassing signs below the high water mark of the river. Longtime Hirschdale resident Matt “Gilligan” Koles, who's been a fly fishing guide on the Truckee River for more than two decades, has been fighting these illegally placed signs, as well as dealing with aggressive intimidation tactics involving drawn firearms by the landowner. The Truckee is considered a navigable river, meaning the public has legal access to the river below the high water mark. Nonetheless, the illegally placed signs have not moved, and the intimidation has scared most of the public away. In response, last fall, Matt and a group of fly fishing friends formed @truckeeriverpublicwaters – a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to protecting legal public access to the Truckee River. In Episode 63, the boys chat about the importance of the Truckee River, a bit of its history, a little about fishing and a lot about the access struggle community members in Hirschdale have been facing and what we as the public can do to ensure legal access is preserved. 2:00 – PowBot growing up fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike in Michigan.7:25 – Trail Whisperer growing up fishing at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.13:00 – The importance of the Truckee River to the Reno/Tahoe region.16:45 – Truckee River public access issues are happening in Hirschdale.19:35 – The story of OTB and Deer Creek trail access issues.24:00 – Public vs private land access issues and knowing your access rights.27:35 – More reminiscing about Cape Hatteras.29:10 – Whatcha been riding?30:45 – Truckee River Trivia – the river doesn't start in Lake Tahoe, there's an Upper Truckee River.31:35 – Introducing Matt “Gilligan” Koles and Truckee River Public Waters.35:30 – Senator Newlands (Newlands Act) bought a bunch of land and diverted the Truckee River.38:45 – Matt's story moving to Hirschdale and creating Gilligan's Guide Service.43:30 – What makes the Truckee River so special for fly fishing?46:10 – Lake Lahontan and the origins of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout – a native prehistoric fish.48:09 – Some unique facts about the Truckee River.49:45 – The Paiute Tribe of Pyramid Lake, water rights, drought and the reservoir system feeding the Truckee River.55:00 – Truckee River Public Waters – preserving public access along the Truckee River.56:30 – The current public access issues people are facing currently in Hirschdale.1:05:15 – The confusion over the “high water” mark on the Truckee River.1:19:00 – The Hirschdale bridge is the main access point for the Tahoe Pyramid Trail.1:22:00 – What should the public do regarding legal access to the river in Hirschdale?1:25:30 – What if you get harassed by a landowner?

Strap in, degenerates, because—holy shit—episode 168 of the Gnar Couch Podshow descends on your brain like a Raptor cranked to 11, meth in the tank, and some dude named Lars judging your court case from the witness stand while Kid Rock shotguns a Busch Light in the background. Have you ever mixed an unwashed pair of five-panels with Swedish thrash metal and a keen yearning to eat trail dust in Virgin, Utah, all while contemplating whether your bones have enough density to survive the next catastrophic OTB? No? Well, welcome to our support group. This episode, we've got Amelia Capuano in the mix—slapping more send than your mom's boyfriend does Dew out of your hands, and just as calculated about it. JP still can't tell the difference between Voltron, Power Rangers, and probably his own reflection, while Cheef's somewhere in a parking lot mourning his inability to clear a jump that only eight-year-olds and groms with fresh HU Bars can manage. Boston Rob's over here leaning into his final-form Jewfluencer, generational trauma, and all, channeling his father-in-law while rocking those glasses down his nose like he's one matzo short of a bar mitzvah. Is this intro going anywhere? Nope. Are you? Not if you're stuck in traffic, three accidents deep, hovering over your brake pedal, wondering if tonight is the night you finally call in to our show and forget the damn phone number again. We've got tales of dirt jumpers crumpling under childhood trauma, chocolate bars worth more than your last pay stub, and Jimmy Sniper explaining how to achieve pegatration at your local skatepark. So unclench, quit saying “keen” unless you want us to actually start using “chuffed” unironically, and let's get this parasocial fever dream rolling harder than Mark Cuban's hairless head at a Shark Tank reject afterparty.

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke to Brian. We talked about his rapid rise from 700-1100 USCF in 4 months. He has been playing the role of the underrated kid at age 52! Brian is a big fan of the Chess Dojo, so, in many ways, this was an unpaid advertisement for their wonderful program. Brian talked a lot about the value of playing long OTB board. His rating was not improving from his online rapid games. But discovering the full immersion of a 90 minute game has allowed him to unlock new depths in his games.

IM Willy Hendriks is an award-winning chess author, historian and chess trainer. He has just released his fourth book, The Philosopher and the Housewife:Tarrasch, Nimzowitsch and the Evolution of Chess. This book is the completion of a trilogy which casts a new light on chess history and looks at the evolution of chess ideas. Willy's newest book focuses on the early 20th century, with a particular emphasis on Aron Nimzowitsch and Siegbert Tarrasch. We tackle questions such as: Was Aron Nimzowitsch the most pretentious chess player of them all? What does Willy think of My System? Have the stylistic differences between Tarrasch and Nimzowitsch been exaggerated? What can we learn about engines and modern chess through reading about these players? Our conversation is filled with fun stories and reflections about these players, along with the contributions of the third “main character,” Semion Alapin. We also discuss Willy's own competitive career and his potential next projects. It is always a pleasure to read Willy's work and to speak with him. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.
