Peter Laurelli fishes the waters of New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island with his fly rod to great success – and he takes a camera with him. His unique style is earning him well deserved attention – today, he joins us on The Schtick.
Derek Grzelewski is a Writer, Photographer and Adventurer from New Zealand. His work appears in National Geographic Traveler, Australian Geographic, New Zealand Geographic, FlyLife and others. Now, you can hold a copy of The Trout Diaries: A Year of Fly Fishing in New Zealand in your hands, and you’ll want to. You’ll want to even more after hearing this.
Bryan Huskey is a freelance photographer, film maker, fishing guide, and magazine ad-rep. For a “real” job he works in media and marketing for Silver Creek Outfitters in Ketchum Idaho. He also shoots as much video and photos as he can – he says for selfish reasons. We’ll unpack some of his recent stories today.
Tony Forte is the Executive Director at the U.S. Freshwater Fishing Federation. That’s the organizing body that allows the United States to compete in international fishing competitions. One day, fishing might even be an Olympic Sport. That would be the ultimate goal for Tony, who has had the honor of representing America through fishing. It’s a totally different take on fishing and international competition than you’ve ever heard, on today’s Schtick.
Rob Snowhite doesn’t call himself a guide. He calls himself a Fly Fishing Consultant. That’s because he guides on the waters in and around Washington, DC where everybody is a consultant. Last year he tried something crazy. He ran a Groupon deal for Fly Fishing Lessons. In a day, he sold 1300 deals. How he managed his way through 1300 new clients – plus snakehead fishing in our nation’s capitol, and the crazy kinds of people who you wind up fishing with when you guide inside the beltway.
It’s the time of the year for Top 10 lists, looks back, and those annual clips shows. We’re no different, we like to look back on all the awesome people we’ve talked to and recount some of our favorite moments on The Schtick.
This week, it’s our annual Fish Schtick Holiday Gift Guide. We see it all – everything that’s cool in the world of fishing – and we pair it down to the stuff we’d actually like to give or receive this Christmas.
Richard Louv’s biography ends like this: he would rather fish than write. But between “Richard Louv is…” and “…rather fish than write,” is the story of a man who has written eight books and coined the term “Nature Deficit Disorder.” The book that kicked off an international conversation about the relationship with children and nature is entitled Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder. His latest book, The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder offers a new vision of the future, in which our lives are as immersed in nature as they are in technology.
On a sweltering summer day in 2010, Christine Warren stepped into a 24-foot canoe and paddled toward a goal that she never previously imagined possible. The Texas Water Safari is a 260-mile paddle race from the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf Coast. Run continuously since 1963, the course follows the San Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers to the coastal fishing town of Seadrift. Paddlers must complete the race in 100 hours. While the exhausting pace and blistering heat are reason enough to bow out, it’s the ancillary hurdles that often eliminate racers long before the finish line: dam portages, water moccasins, logjams, mosquitoes, dysentery, alligators, sleep deprivation, and equipment failures. Paddlefish is the first complete narrative ever published on The Texas Water Safari.
