Love your podcast! I’m a fellow Oregonian from woodburn. I wanted to see if maybe you had a episode about looking for new waters to fish or maybe talking about the oregon fishery. I’m sure you have a episode already and maybe you can send me the link. Thank you for your time and knowledge. Hopefully I can catch you at the river, tight lines.
Thanks Emilio, great to hear you enjoy the show. The Tuesday episode is a very good on on the Deschutes. I’ll send you an update when it’s live. What species are you most interested in?
