I love the whole Appalachian area. The greenery, abundance of wild game, outdoor activities, all of it. I moved away from there but that doesn't mean I don't miss it. One thing I never had the chance to do was catch trout in the Appalachian Mountains though. My guest, Arran, has gotten really good at it though. To top it off, he fishes Tenkara style!

Catching panfish in the early spring can be fun and frustrating at the same time. Here are a few tips we have picked up over the years.

Martin released his book "Switching Gears" and I wanted to have him on the show to talk about it. It was a lot of fun and the book is excellent.

When I get something in my mind, there's rarely any changing my mind. This is a family trait I can do nothing about. So when I saw a guy 3d printing his own lures, I knew it was something I had to do. Little did I know that I quickly got in over my head. Thankfully, there are people like Bill around that are willing to talk about, help and share the information they have gathered through trial and error.

Skip and Zack have learned how to catch catfish and an incredible rate. Last year they treated me to the most productive day of catfishing I've eve had. They were kind enough to stop by and discuss tactics, rigs and a whole lot more.

Nick is an interesting guy. He uses Tenkara Rods/flies to catch high alpine trout, has his own brand of fly, takes awesome high country hikes and is getting ready to take a 6 month trip on the PCT. So, yeah, I had to have him on the show.

Gavin and Adam had a dream. They wanted to do something related to fishing. Somehow they decided that gathering ocean plastics and turning them into fishing lures was where it's at! And we are so glad they did. They have huge goals and an amazing looking lure selection.

Every year, untold numbers of children go missing. Most are found but over the years, some mysterious disappearances have occurred in some of our favorite places. National Parks.

Patrick and Al have both been on the podcast and are avid anglers. Al has mostly fished for bass but recently has taken an interest in multi-species angling, including carp. Patrick has been a long time admirer of carp and I thought it would be a good idea to get these two together and have a discussion about one of the most under appreciated fish in the water.

Our first Halloween episode of 2021 focuses on a strange phenomenon experienced by those of us that push our bodies to the absolute limits.

Everyone has this vision in their mind of a mountain man. This rugged individual who can live damn near anywhere as long as he can catch some sort of wild game. The old man covered in bear furs and only comes to the rendezvous. Jeremy sat down with us to dispel some of those stereotypes and give us the real run down on Mountain Men.

Brandon followed us on Instagram and said if we ever needed a guest he'd love to come on. Well, be careful what you wish for...

Brad needed information about deer hunting in Kentucky but was having a hard time getting information from the standard social media platforms. So he decided to take matters into his own hands and create an app and social media platform just for outdoor minded people. GoWild is a place where outdoor enthusiast can share information, stories and success without fear of having posts removed (like you see in other social media platforms).

Brian and Jon got together on Instagram and began a friendship centered around fishing. They quickly realized they had a lot in common and decided, to hell with it, lets start a fishing podcast. And just like that, The Working Class Fishing Podcast was born. They are breaking down barriers and giving people information as well as encouragement to get out there and wet a line.
