Episode 281: A Fly Fishing Conversation with a Driftless Conservation Warden 2 Guys and a River
-
- Wilderness
It takes a village to raise up a fly fisher. The first person of the village is likely a parent, friend, or acquaintance who walked beside us in the early, awkward days of learning to cast, read the river, and tie a basic knot. Next are the fly shop owners and guides who drip insight into us as we buy flies and purchase float trips. Then there is the army of Trout Unlimited volunteers who spent weekends improving our rivers and streams. And then there are the industry pundits and legends who publish books, videos, podcasts, and other helpful resources.
An unheralded person of the village is the conservation warden. He or she is in many ways quietly responsible to maintain order and even safety while we enjoy the outdoors. In this episode, we interview Michael Burns, a Driftless conservation warden out of Dodgeville, Wisconsin. While our listeners come from all places in North America and even Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, we thought Mike's perspective as a Wisconsin conservation warden applies to everyone everywhere.
