Hey guys –
New this week, don’t miss James Prosek: national bestselling author at 19, publisher of more than ten acclaimed works of art and fiction, on success, working in the publishing industry, and the passions of a unique mind.
Special thanks this week to James’ band, TroutBand (I can’t find a website for them so if someone does, please hook me up).
Also, thanks to this week’s sponsor, Orvis for their support. Check out the new Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast, hosted by Tom Rosenbauer. It’s full of great practical fishing tips; an entirely different kind of show from mine.
Zach
Hey Zach this was an excellent interview. I liked the pointed questions you asked about Nat Geo and how he managed to get his first book published. I think it provided good insight into the persistence required to be a writer.
I really appreciate his passion for the the minute and subtle variation in the trout world. I think without his work I, and probably many others, would be ignorant of all various species that exist in isolated places and in populations that could not begin to support any angling pressure that most of us will never see.
The comparison to Audubon is not that far fetched.
One of my favs! I really enjoyed the stories and creative outlook that you tapped into. I easily could have listened to another hour … Do you happen to have a link the the trout ?conservation? website that was mentioned in the interview? I would love to see some photos of the fish that were discussed.
What the hell, man?
Best interview question in a podcast. Ever.
This is another one of your podcasts that I initially figured I’d have zero interest in, but got into quickly. Fantastic selection of guest, as well as engaging dialogue and interesting questions.
Zach,
Great interview great podcast. I had been looking forward to this one for a while.
Anyone else interested in hearing another interview with James Prosek should check out “Speak of Faith” link provided

Again Zach thank you for the podcast.
Thanks .. Those are some interesting looking brown trout!

Aye, its a cool thing those guys and gals are doing.
I am also looking forward to the new women guides series you have coming up next.
Me too.
Zach, I listened to it yesterday. Man, that is the best one since Bob Behnke…but then I’m a salmonid natural history NUT. I know of a ton of people like me who obsess about 10″ native basin strains than 20″ non-natives. I wish more pubs would figure out a way to make copy on what I have written about and call – “ecofishing”.
Great podcast, he has a passion and has taken it to the next level…
Also like the fact that he mentioned something I thought was only South Africa, “Monkeys Wedding”…
Monkeys Wedding ~ when it is sunny, but raining…
We get in 2 ways…
1. In summer, in the late afternoon we get big storms pressing through, much like you guys get, but mostly without the tornado, and just after them, the sun shines under them, so the cloud is above you and raining on you, but the sun is shinning…
2. It gets hot here, + 35 deg c, well into the + 95 f, and have high wispy clouds that go over a thermal, as it does this, it drops it’s water, so you have an almost clear sky with light rain, in places…
Not sure where it came from but my father always said
I used to put together 1 hour podcasts but the amount of work is exponentially greater to do that. Much more splicing and re-checking and having to wait for it to compile. The 30 minute time limit is to make things humane for me. For every half hour you hear, I have spent around 4 hours on the podcast.
Zach
That’s what I was guessing.
Zach on editing and feel free to move this post, what are you using?
I quite like WavePad, it compiles while you are editing and splicing, it seems to mix well and when I am done, I save them as mp3, at a continues bit rate of 96, which are giving me small file sizes, without loss of quality. I then drag them into iTunes player and add the tag information. When I converted your Fly Fishing Retailer Shows, they finished at about half your file size.
I know you guys don’t have to worry about file size, but we still have bandwidth caps and other restrictions…
