Good Intentions, Questionable Execution

It's the False Cast Summer 2026 special episode! Patrick breaks down his big trip(s) out west, including a solo run to the Bighorns. Being in the area, it only makes sense to discuss the story of a bison throwing a guy a** over tea kettle. George finds a three foot pike in a trout stream. We talk muskie on fly, duck limits, Romano being late, McGregor, and where we are headed next. Fish in the morning, fish late at night, do not stress the fish out.

In this episode, Patrick and George break down a Montana trout trip on the Missouri River, a Mille Lacs walleye limit session before the northwest wind shut everything down, and an upcoming solo trip to the Bighorns to process losing his dad. At the end of the day, tight lines matter, but so does enjoying the silence.

We're back with a special episode honoring Ray White, Patrick's father, the man who taught us how to fish and whose memory drives everything we do. This episode covers the proposed walleye limit changes and potential LiveScope restrictions from the Minnesota DNR, George's embarrassing story of swimming after a drifting boat while people watched instead of helping, and a pro tip on getting free state park access with your license plate. Whether you fish for food or for the thrill, these conversations matter. Tight lines.

The guys finally welcome their first in-studio guest, Ken Paulson, owner of Paulson Brothers Woodworks and a lifelong hunter with decades of elk hunting experience. From Wyoming mountains and Texas nilgai hunts to gear, outfitting tips, and the reality of packing animals out of the backcountry, Ken shares stories and insight from years in the field. It’s a fun conversation about hunting, friendship, and why some people just feel most at home in the mountains.

It’s an expansive episode of the False Cast Podcast. The guys cover winter trout fishing conditions, warm-weather windows, gear considerations, upcoming stream openings, and regulatory changes — with plenty of side trails along the way. Along the journey they hit ice golf on Lake Minnetonka, Great Waters Expo plans, Mexico travel stories, conservation debates, wolves, coyotes, the Super Bowl, and why fly fishing might be the answer to just about everything. It's the False Cast Podcast!!
