    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!

Episode 93 Featuring Jim Sens--A Trout Fishing Guide Making The McKenzie River His Home
Q: How do you prepare your boat and gear for a day on the river?

Episode 93 Featuring Jim Sens--A Trout Fishing Guide Making The McKenzie River His Home
Q: What does a typical day look like on the McKenzie for a client?
A day unfolds from a steelhead-focused morning to trout fishing in the afternoon, with the guide selecting sections based on hatches, water temperatures, and safety, while balancing wild and hatchery fish encounters and lunch spots along the river.
Episode 93 Featuring Jim Sens--A Trout Fishing Guide Making The McKenzie River His Home
Q: What got you into guiding?
The guest explains how his Kamchatka Steelhead project exposed him to guiding as a natural extension of leading anglers on the water, combining a love for rivers with the joy of helping others connect with the sport.
Episode 90 Featuring Tom McGuane--Novelist, Screenwriter, Angler, The Legend Himself
Q: How many rewrites does a typical piece require, and when do you know it's finished?
Revision is ongoing; about ten to twelve rewrites for fiction, with structural revisions always needed as ideas emerge nonlinearly, and you know a draft is done when it feels complete and ready for a reader or editor to engage with.
Episode 90 Featuring Tom McGuane--Novelist, Screenwriter, Angler, The Legend Himself
Q: How do you approach breaking a fishing memory into a compelling narrative?
The key is focusing on what about the trip would be meaningful to others, and then layering in vivid character observations and sensory details to bring readers into the scene.
