Mountain Men and Fur Trapping with Jeremy from Wyoming State Museum

I love the whole Appalachian area. The greenery, abundance of wild game, outdoor activities, all of it. I moved away from there but that doesn't mean I don't miss it. One thing I never had the chance to do was catch trout in the Appalachian Mountains though. My guest, Arran, has gotten really good at it though. To top it off, he fishes Tenkara style!https://www.instagram.com/appalachian_af/

Catching panfish in the early spring can be fun and frustrating at the same time. Here are a few tips we have picked up over the years.https://www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/solving-spring-panfish/156264https://www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/prespawn-bluegills-in-spring/153374https://www.instagram.com/chiefcrappieraider/

Martin released his book "Switching Gears" and I wanted to have him on the show to talk about it. It was a lot of fun and the book is excellent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R3H8BB1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_CVGM1C1RA72DDM165FS9https://www.papabearhikes.com/

When I get something in my mind, there's rarely any changing my mind. This is a family trait I can do nothing about. So when I saw a guy 3d printing his own lures, I knew it was something I had to do. Little did I know that I quickly got in over my head. Thankfully, there are people like Bill around that are willing to talk about, help and share the information they have gathered through trial and error.https://www.instagram.com/gs.outdoors/https://www.youtube.com/c/GulfStreamOutdoors

Skip and Zack have learned how to catch catfish and an incredible rate. Last year they treated me to the most productive day of catfishing I've eve had. They were kind enough to stop by and discuss tactics, rigs and a whole lot more.https://www.youtube.com/c/ClearviewOutdoors/featured

Nick is an interesting guy. He uses Tenkara Rods/flies to catch high alpine trout, has his own brand of fly, takes awesome high country hikes and is getting ready to take a 6 month trip on the PCT. So, yeah, I had to have him on the show.https://www.instagram.com/norcaltenkara/

Gavin and Adam had a dream. They wanted to do something related to fishing. Somehow they decided that gathering ocean plastics and turning them into fishing lures was where it's at! And we are so glad they did. They have huge goals and an amazing looking lure selection. https://www.instagram.com/recast_fishing/www.recast-fishing.com

I sit down with Al (newagealchemist and host of Mindful Endeavors Podcast) to talk about how our year went, highs, lows and what 2022 has in store for us.

Today, we are talking about the history of the American Bison with Jeremy. https://wyomuseum.wyo.gov/

Another Instagram guest on deck! Aiham and I started talking about subscription boxes and eventually I decided it was time to have him on the show to talk about his muskie fishing. https://www.instagram.com/wincityoutdoors/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR4as7twzitlvvLFljcJlgw
