#923 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/923 Presented By: FishHound Expeditions Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors How does one of the largest free-flowing rivers in the United States end up back on the table for major development projects? In this episode, Margaret Stern from the Susitna River Coalition returns to the podcast to share what's happening right now across Alaska's Susitna watershed—from a proposed hydroelectric dam to a massive access road that could permanently change the region. We talk about why the Susitna remains such a unique and accessible wild river system, how local communities are organizing around conservation, and why public comments matter more than most anglers realize. Margaret also shares details on the coalition's river cleanup efforts, citizen science projects, and practical ways anyone—whether you live in Alaska or not—can help protect these fisheries for future generations. #923 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/923
922 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/922 Presented by: FishHound Expeditions Today, we're digging into what's happening right now across Alaska, from the fight over West Susitna and Alaska public lands to bycatch, mining, and road development, and why it matters to anyone who cares about wild fish. I sat down with Rachel James and Ryan Astalos from SalmonState, along with Adam Cuthriell of Fishhound Expeditions. We talk about Bristol Bay, the proposed West Susitna Road, trawl bycatch, and how public lands decisions in Alaska ripple across the entire country. This one goes beyond fly fishing. It's about protecting the future of wild fish and the places we all depend on. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/922
Join host Emily Forstner as she interviews Mat-Su School Superintendent Dr. Randy Trani for Inside the District. Together, they discuss the April 15th. Mat-Su Borough School Board meeting.
This episode explores the proposed West Susitna Access — a 100+ mile industrial corridor from Big Lake through roadless wetlands to exploratory mining claims — covering estimated costs, major bridge and maintenance concerns, and how the project was split between state agencies. We discuss ecological risks to wetlands, salmon and lamprey habitat, impacts on hunting and fishing, community perspectives from Talkeetna, and practical ways the public can get involved through comments, the Susitna River Coalition, and local events.
Susitna River Coalition's Margaret Stern and I discuss the proposed 100-mile West Susitna Access Road Project that would cross the Susitna River. We explore the project's potential benefits, like increased access and growth, against its significant environmental impact, and other infrastructure projects that might be a better investment for the funds.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/376 Presented By: Jackson Hole Fly Company, Country Financial, FishHound Expeditions, Fair Flies Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Margaret Stern from Susitna River Coalition walks us through their mission to protect and support the 312-mile-long, free-flowing, Susitna River. We find out why the construction of the massive Susitna dam and the West Susitna access road projects should be stopped - what its long-term effect would be on the watersheds, wildlife, local economies, and fish. We also learn why we should be concerned about these issues and what we can do to support this movement. Let us come together and take action as we discover the truth about these exploitation projects in Alaska.

Art and creative expression have long been known as a therapeutic remedy since ancient times.

She still calls Talkeetna, Alaska home where she continues her love of the outdoors, fishing, and family. In fact, she is well known to barter art for fish...halibut, salmon...you name it! And she is a boat driver for Mahay's, the blue boats of the Chulitna, Susitna and Talkeetna Rivers.Linda Brady Farr is a well known artist in Anchorage, Alaska who also taught art at Dimond and West High School.

His assault on public lands, privatization of said public spaces and actively embracing the idea of transferring America's public lands to the state. Good one, Mate! Listener Questions! Chris from Sitka says– Hey guys! Love the show and all the awesome reviews you guys post! I’m looking at building a summer set of wheels for my 2016 Trek Farley 7 and my head is about to burst trying to decide which route to go. So many options these days! Basically i am torn between 29+ width x 3″ (chupacabra) and a 27.5 x 3.8″ ( Maxxis FBF/FBR). The wheels are carbon and laced to DT 350’s and the price is within $100 so that’s not an issue. I find the BB on the low side already on the Farley and think the 29+ would bring it up a bit more for summer riding. My winter setup is 26″ Mulefut with Barbagezis or D5s depending on conditions. Thanks for the wonderful words of wisdom! Koookarootz!!!! Chris Anderson James Comments: I’d like to see a story addressing why so few manufacturers put rear-rack bosses on their bikes. I can’t be the only human on the planet who wants to commute with a fat bike and carry stuff using the same panniers I use on my road bike. Seems like well over 90% of the fat bikes are missing the very simple feature. Those seat post racks are awful and that Thule seat stay rack is $100! We got a shout out to Chris Daisy from another Chris who Comments: Really like your podcast. What is the name of the song and artist for episode #115 opening segment? Chris, that one was called Fat Rasta and our musical director, Mr Chris Daisy from Zion Cyclery whipped up that little diddy for us!
