Fish Schtick Episode 90 – Ivan Orsic AKA Yukon Goes Fishing

Ivan Orsic may be better known to the internet set as Yukon Goes Fishing.

At his own blog – Yukon Goes Fishing – his bio reads like this. “I’m a graduate student studying fluvial geomorphology, applied hydrology, and environmental geochemistry at a fine institution in Missoula, MT. Originally from the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the eastern US, I have always been a fan of all sorts of fishing. However, during a “family” trip up to Alaska when I was in high school, I fell in love with the sport of fly fishing.

That’s turned into a pretty sweet set of video blogs and the one that made us finally track him down for the show: Silver & Gold featuring Yukon Cornelius.

It’s a perfect Fish Schtick holiday treat.

Fish Schtick Episode 88 – Richard Louv

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.

Maybe you've seen Richard on NBC’s Today Show or the CBS Evening News, or ABC’s Good Morning America. Maybe you heard him on NPR’s Morning Edition, Fresh Air, or Talk of the Nation. If you missed him in all those places, unbelievable as it may seem, we got him to hang out with us on The Fish Schtick.

Fish Schtick Episode – 87 – Christine Warren

Christine Warren may be better known out there as The Fly Fish Chick but it’s the publication of her new book, PADDLEFISH, that sets up her story on the latest episode of The Fish Schtick.

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.

The Fish Schtick - Episode 82: Nanci Morris Lyon & Kate Taylor

Nanci and Kate are heroes. I think we actually had Kate Taylor on a long time ago in a “Live from Baja” episode, maybe? She runs Rogue Angels, a worthy visit on the web. Nanci’s responsible for the good things happening at Bear Trail Lodge, and together, they took on Pebble Mine through this year’s 24 hour Fish A Thon, they absolutely rocked the house.

They broke the Moldy w/ Kate.  Justin is the envy of many a fish bum.

Fish Schtick Episode 80 – Kristi Denton Cohen

If fly fishing has a “book,” in modern times, that book has been “A River Runs Through It,” because that book had a movie and that movie had Brad Pitt. But ask anybody who reads and who has been into fly fishing for more than a year or two what their favorite fly fishing book is, and they’re liable to say “The River Why.” If they don’t say, “The River Why,” they’ll say “Trout Bum” by John Gierach, but that’s another story.
“The River Why” by David James Duncan is epic, beloved, treasured … and now it has a movie, too – one that’s been a long time coming. It stars Zach Gilford, William Hurt, Amber Heard and Kathleen Quinlan.
In this episode of the Schtick we're joined by the producer of the moviw  Kristi Denton Cohen.
