  • Ep 542. Another really important one, but ...

    As a frequent visitor and user of the Tidewater for recreation, this one strikes home. So I hope you can follow up on something. We can "warn" folks like me all we want about using the waterways ongoing. But what will be the impact on the bald eagle, osprey, etc. and other wildlife that reside there or migrate thru?

  • Half a million acres?

    I listen to this podcast often. I appreciate the points you’re making. I sure hope you’re right that public lands will not be sold, but they continue to add land sales in the 11th hour. Could you explain more about the purpose of pretending they might sell off land? It’s extremely unpopular here in Idaho (and everywhere as you’ve said). But it doesn’t seem like a fake out when this is literally the only way they could ever do it - sneakily, last minute, through reconciliation and with a congress... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 577: Kaylyn Glenn - Florida Gladeswoman & Conservationist
Q: What is the status of Florida's python problem, and are removal efforts working?
Glenn says the population cannot be counted precisely and is spreading north, while captures reached a record as contractors and funding increased. She describes pythons as causing severe ecological harm and says human removal is needed to reduce their numbers.
EP 577: Kaylyn Glenn - Florida Gladeswoman & Conservationist
Q: What is the status of conservation in Florida, and what has happened since the right-to-hunt-and-fish provision went into effect?
Glenn says the amendment protects a traditional way of life and has helped prevent local restrictions on lawful fishing, while public opposition and harassment of hunters and anglers continue.
EP 575: Menhaden Madness (ft. Whit Fosburgh, Forage Fish Campaign)
Q: Could there be federal action on this issue, and would federal pressure help move the needle?
Yes, there is a recognized need for federal intervention if state-led management stalls, with potential involvement by the Department of Commerce and the White House to push for stronger conservation measures and a reallocation of quotas.
EP 568: Hobie Eyewear at ICAST 2026 & Conservation Initiatives
Q: What type of products should my listeners be interested in?
The guests highlight the floating collection as the flagship differentiator, emphasize the durability and frames designed for water use, and note how prescription options and magnetic clips add versatility and value for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.
EP 565: ICAST 2026 - Jen Ripple, Dun Outdoors Editor-in-Chief
Q: Tell everyone your backstory.
Jen describes how she fell into fishing while at the University of Michigan, initially attracted by the community and inclusivity, and how that led to a long career as an advocate for women in fly fishing and publishing, culminating in the relaunch of Dun Outdoors.
