Into the Backing
In this episode of Into the Backing, I sit down with Spencer Greening, Nate Pamplin, and Dave Hansen to dive into the complex issue of pinniped predation and its impact on fisheries. Are sea lions truly to blame for declining fish stocks, or is the issue far more nuanced?

A hot topic around the fly-tying counter, Euro Nymphing is viewed by some as the most effective form of fly fishing, while others argue it’s not fly fishing at all. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Galloup, George Daniel, and Nick Taransky to hear their thoughts.
