    My buddy sent me a link to the Ed Ward podcast this weekend and I have not stopped listening. The amount you can learn from Jeff and his guests is truly addicting. Looking forward to watching his skagit master series as well!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 88 Featuring Colby Richards--The Wilderness Chef With A Plan
Q: What are the key considerations for cooking on river trips to balance flavor with practicality?
Focus on batch-prepared items, vacuum-sealed marinades kept minimal to avoid over-seasoning, and choosing durable vegetables like root crops; also leverage quick-cooking seafood early in the trip for freshness and safety with ice management.
Episode 88 Featuring Colby Richards--The Wilderness Chef With A Plan
Q: How do you manage meal planning when you know the trip will be long and the conditions tough?
Colby emphasizes upfront prep, designating sections of the cooler for first-day meals, using produce coolers before moving to frozen items, and stacking food so shorter shelf-life ingredients are used first while preserving ice for longer-term storage.
Episode 85 Featuring Jeff Hickman---Steelhead flies, Breaking Down The Essentials
Q: What can influence steelhead to bite a certain fly?
Environmental conditions and pressure from other anglers can significantly influence fish behavior and preferences.
Episode 85 Featuring Jeff Hickman---Steelhead flies, Breaking Down The Essentials
Q: Does the fly matter when fishing for steelhead?
Yes, but it's not always the most important factor.
Episode 82 Featuring Chris O'Donnell---Winter Steelhead Kick-Off Episode
Q: How do you maintain that focus on the intent throughout the Winter Steelhead season when the conditions are changing every day?
It's different now than it was 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. I just don't have those anglers as much anymore.
