Two Angles on Angling

Jordan spent some time fishing around PA this past week so the guys discuss where he went and what he caught.  Ryan gives a report about what he saw during the couple of days he spent on local water.  The guys get deep about ways for local anglers to get engaged in their fishery – how to influence regulations, stocking (if that’s a thing where you live), management, preservation…and more If you want to experience what the guys are talking about firsthand instead of listening to a podcast, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com Follow Ryan: Instagram: @brookdogfly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.

After spending a couple days on the water this past week, Ryan talks about what he saw and provides an assessment of how spring is starting to shape up. Jordan and Ryan provide the angling forecast for this upcoming week as well. The guys get deep about spring – signs that it’s here (starting tomorrow) and what to keep an eye out for on land and in the air to know when it’s best hit the water.

Jordan and Ryan have been off on their own adventures the past few weeks, so the guys tell their respective stories about where they went and what they did.  In local news - the Niagara River is FINALLY clear, so Ryan managed to get a couple days on the water after returning from his most recent fishing vacation earlier this week.  The forecast for this upcoming week is looking excellent as well so Jordan and Ryan discuss their plans.

It's a short one this week, folks.  Jordan and Ryan fished through muddy conditions - they had to - the weather was too perfect to stay off the water - so they discuss what they saw during that session.  This upcoming week looks excellent…well…for a handful of days at least, so Jordan and Ryan discuss our plans.  They guys also talk about their travel plans for the upcoming weeks.   If you want to experience what the guys are talking about firsthand instead of listening to on a podcast, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com Follow Ryan: Instagram: @brookdogfly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.

Jordan actually beat Ryan in numbers of days on the water for this past week. The guys discuss that outing, the current condition of the fishery (messy), and the forecast for next week. They get deep about Lake Ontario fish stocking. What’s the science behind the stocking numbers…by species? By location?  Is the science sound/is the current methodology of "adaptive stocking" the best way to understand an extraordinarily complex system?  Why does the Niagara receive a disproportionately small percentage of the total number of salmon stocked in Lake Ontario?  And more… If you want to experience what the guys are talking about firsthand instead of listening to us talk about it, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com Follow Ryan: Instagram: @brookdogfly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.

Unfortunately, it was another week of minimal angling action so the fishing report as well as the forecast is brief.  Jordan and Ryan "get deep" about the importance of planning vacations - why so few Americans use all their vacation days - how this effects the tourism industry - how travel used to be part of the spirit of America, but seems like it's on the wane - and more...

The angling action from this past week was minimal. Still, in that short period of time, Jordan and Ryan saw some encouraging things worth discussing. Plus, the guys managed to spend a few hours on the Lower together, so they talk about that as well.  Ryan and Jordan "get deep" about the evolution of freshwater fish - common ancestors, how they came to inhabit North America in particular, and more....

Ryan was able to spend more than half the week on the waters, so he got a healthy dose of the fishery - there’s a lot to discuss. Afterall, nobody has fished the big water in close to a month, so any news is good news…but the news is good. The forecast for the upcoming week is looking good as well, so Jordan and Ryan discuss their plans.  The guys “get deep” about the podcasts they listen to – how we found them, how long we’ve been listening to them, why we chose them, etc. If you want to experience what the guys are talking about firsthand instead of listening to us talk about it, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com Follow Ryan: Instagram: @brookdogfly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.

It's been a while since Jordan and Ryan recorded an episode.  The Christmas Blizzard of 2022, lots of rain, and other adverse weather conditions have prevented the guys from getting together.  In this episode, they discuss how the fishery is doing post storm as well as when they think conditions will be worthwhile enough to get back on the water.   Jordan and Ryan "get deep" about some of the things they've been doing to stay sane through all the "down time."

After missing their opportunity to record an episode last week, Jordan and Ryan catch up. As per usual, they discuss their observations from the water this past week and provide a forecast for the upcoming week.  In the "Getting Deep" portion of the discussion, they discuss the modern history of the Lower Niagara - starting around the late 1600s.  Something to think about if you hike or fish the "Lower."  Here is a link to the book Ryan mentioned:  Beyond the Falls: A Modern History of the Lower Niagara River: Lisa Aug: 9780963281593: Amazon.com: Books  If you want to experience what we're talking about firsthand instead of listening to us talk about it, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com Follow Ryan: Instagram: @brookdogfly Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.

Jordan and Ryan provide a report about this past week as well as a forecast for this upcoming week.  The region got hit with a massive amount of wind and rainfall so the forecast for the upcoming week is particularly useful.   The "Getting Deep" portion of the discussion gets into the definition of native, wild, and stocked as it relates to fish.  They discuss why these terms are relevant to angling and to an ecosystem.  We also discuss how communities of advocates (tribalism) often align themselves in the pursuit of one over the other.  If you want to experience what we're talking about firsthand instead of listening to us talk about it, visit this website: https://www.brookdogfishing.com  Follow Ryan:  Instagram: @brookdogfly  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brookdog.fishing.company  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIPCUzZN4bD3srIIwLtZIA  If you want top quality jigs and jigheads, look no further than JDO Lure Co.  JD offers a variety of jigs.
