­Anchored Podcast:

Dave Hansen grew up immersed in the world of sport fishing at San Clemente Sport Fishing, where his father launched a 70-year career in the industry. From an early age, instead of the typical childhood of riding bikes with friends, he spent his time chasing bait.

Now, over thirty years later, after captaining many sport boats along the West Coast, as well as private yachts and deliveries to Mexico and beyond, he continues to pursue his passion for fishing. He now runs Your Saltwater Guide, a comprehensive platform dedicated to helping anglers of all skill levels with expert fishing tips, strategies, and guidance to make the most of their time on the water. In this episode of Anchored, we discuss sea lion predation on fish, the food we eat, and the fishing charter industry back in the day.

In this episode of Anchored, I’m joined by Adrian Cortes, a passionate steelheader, hand fly tyer, and critical care nurse whose approach to fly fishing is as thoughtful as it is unconventional. Adrian has become known for tying intricate flies entirely by hand—without a vise—and for his deep appreciation of traditional steelhead fishing, bamboo rods, and the history of the craft.
In this episode, I sit down with Mike Lawson — a legendary guide, fly tyer, educator, and one of the founding forces behind Henry’s Fork Anglers. What began in the early 1970s as a young schoolteacher tying flies at the kitchen table with his wife Sheralee eventually grew into one of the most iconic fly fishing businesses in the world.
