Fish Schtick Episodes 56 and 57

We closed out the 2010 Fish Schtick campaign with two new episodes.

Episode 56 - Amanda Switzer

Though she originally went to school to become a landscape architect, Amanda Switzer became a fishing guide after working for one year too long in an office. Unhappy with the ho-hum buzz of everyday work, she thanked her boss for not firing her, politely quit, bought a flats boat and started a flyfishing-guide business in her home waters of eastern Long Island. She’s 25 years into it and now she’s building a new rod company – think she’s got a few stories to tell?

Episode 57 - Best of 2010

It’s that year-end time when everybody looks back at the peaks and valleys of the year, the hits and misses, the highs and the lows. This show is dedicated to that – some of our favorite Fish Schtick guests and moments from the year gone by.

Fish Schtick Episode 53 – Fish and Adventure Podcast Spectacular

The holidays are coming, which means travel time for most of us. And travel time is a GREAT time to load up you iPod or MP3 player with a bunch of your favorite shows. We wanted to share some of OUR favorite podcasts with you, so on today’s show, four hosts from four of our favorite podcasts!

We’ve got Zach Matthews from the Itinerant Angler. Zach is also the Southeast Field Editor for Fly Fisherman magazine, and he’s a regular contributor to American Angler magazine. You’ve seen his stuff in Fly Rod & Reel, The Drake and a bunch of others.

Fitz Cahall is the man behind the Dirtbag Diaries which isn’t as much a fishing podcast as it is an adventure podcast. A lot of the stories are about people who climb mountains or strike out on international adventures. His stories are as much about the adventurers as the adventures, and they’re really, really good.

Tom Rosenbauer hosts the Orvis Fly Fishing Podcasts. Tom’s name is synonymous with fly fishing culture as we know it, he has been with the Orvis Company for over 30 years. He’s been a fishing school instructor, copywriter, public relations director, merchandise manager, and was editor of The Orvis News for 10 years. He is currently Marketing Director for Orvis Rod and Tackle.

Rick Coffman is a fly angler from the Ozarks. His career has found him behind the microphone at radio stations in Springfield, Missouri, tons of different live venues, and now in a monthly podcast called Liv2FlyFish Radio. His guests tend to center on the White River drainage – some of the best big-trout waters in the country, maybe the world.

You can listen to the entire episode at Mauro Media where you will also find a link if you care to download the show off iTunes.

The Fish Schtick is sponsored by Green Tackle, providing environmentally responsible fishing products to anglers of all skill levels.

Fish Schtick Episodes 44 and 45

The Schtick has been on summer hiatus but we managed to record a couple of shows recently with a couple of guests who are really great story tellers. We expect to be back on our weekly schedule mid September and have some great new guests lined up so stay tuned.

Episode 44 - Fish Artist Curt Redden

Curt Redden lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and loves fishing, art, and promoting catch & release for trophy fish. It was a natural combination to produce a gallery of beautiful fish art and to give anglers who wanted to hang a trophy on the wall an opportunity to do it through original painted art. Curt is involved with conservation, fishing and art in a handful of different ways – and he’s had time in the media, too.

Episode 45 - Darren Gallaher

Darren Gallaher is a friend from Chattanooga, Tennessee, or pretty close to there. He’s been fishing competitively since he was just a little kid, kind of a bass prodigy. As an adult he guides and fishes competitively, he’s a spokesperson for a number of brands like Berkley and Bass Pro Shops, and has even held a tournament director title. But the reason we wanted to have him on the show more than anything is that he’s a great guy who loves to fish and has a million good stories. Plus we just like the way he talks.
