The Destination Angler ADVENTURES Podcast Steve Haigh

We journey with passionate fly angler and author, Jim Aylsworth of Houston Texas who shares his fly fishing adventures from around the US and the world.  Jim has fly fished over 300 locations, most of them with a guide, from the tranquil waters of Guadalupe River in Texas to the remote reaches of the Kamchatka peninsula, and from the awe-inspiring giants in Jurassic Lake Argentina to Jim’s personal best brown trout from the Allegheny River.
Jim is also an accomplished writer, sharing his adventures through articles in Fly Fisherman Magazine, Trout Magazine, and FlyFishers Magazine, and has a knack for squeezing in a little fly fishing on his business trips.   Stick around to the end for a great story of how Jim got himself in the Billings Montana newspaper for all the wrong reasons, and what makes for an exceptional guide.

Today we have die-hard fly angler, educator, and outdoorsman, Mike Loughran from Buffalo, New York who shares his inspiring adventures with salmon and steelhead, opossums and owls, coyote dens and wasps nests, and his surprise appearance on the Today Show.  
Mike’s decade-long obsession with fly fishing began with a Christmas gift – a fly rod combo and waders.  Despite his busy schedule teaching gym class to grade school kids, he has logged more days and caught more steelhead, salmon, and brown trout than most anglers do in a lifetime.  You’ll want to fish like Mike after you listen to this one!

Join us today as we journey to the wilds of Alaska alongside Cam Gordon, a seasoned backcountry fly fishing guide with Fish Hound Expeditions. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Cam's passion for angling led him to the rugged and remote landscapes of Alaska in pursuit of trout, Dolly Varden, and Grayling.
Today Cam shares how he and his clients survived 4 harrowing days stranded in a flood of epic proportions.  From enduring flooded tents and torrential rain, to navigating quickly rising water and giant floating cottonwoods, their adventure is nothing short of extraordinary.
