Salmon

All right, a quick break right now.

When we come back, Mike Ogney's got some great info from the Golden State Salmon Association right after this.

let's go fishing got that river wild running in your soul wanna hook a memory that makes you whole Kevin Brock's the guide to make it right day or night he'll find that silver bright trips and top shelf gear he's got it all fishkevinbrock.com just make the call that's fishkevinbrock.com

No one makes a more reliable, powerful, and efficient lineup of outboard motors than Mercury Marine.

Folks, everybody needs to be supporting organizations just like that.

There's a bunch of organizations out there.

You need to be heard, whether it's through the Golden State Salmon Association or whether it's through any of the organizations that you believe in and have confidence in.

Fight for your rights.

So our office will be in Quebec City.

But all this passion comes from, of course, the city of Quebec, the province of Quebec, which has over 100 Atlantic Salmon rivers, The greatest wilderness you can imagine.

Perfect hunting grounds, fishing grounds.

The best place to be in terms of...

You can do a lot of stuff.

So every collection, we try to have a collaboration.

We did one with the Atlantic Salmon Federation where...

Parts of the profits from the purchases go to the organization.

um anyway we had a real good chat and it was nice to see him casting and um and wading down this pool and then he got into one which was brilliant because i was sat right there we didn't know whether it were a good sea trout you know four or five pounds or a grills it rolled on the top and just were off he didn't do anything wrong just one of them things um so that was you know he was like oh i'm i'm gutted but i'm not i'm not bothered really um and then he were funny because then about five minutes later he swore so it were good to see that he still had a little bit of fizz left in bottle that he was still still riled him um because it would have been nice to land one for him And he was very complimentary.

He'd read my piece that's in Trout and Salmon called Eyeball Dance.

And he said it had made him laugh.

So that's good.

So, so far, I've caught none.

So I can only improve that, can't I? You'd think.

Writing, I've written something for Trout and Salmon called The Eyeball Dance.

So if you've read that and you've enjoyed it, tell someone.

Thanks so much for listening.

Thanks for listening to the Fly Culture podcast, brought to you in association with The Voice of Game Angling, Trout and Salmon, where Pete is the editor.

I'm not going to talk.

I want you to tell the listeners what is going on outside of Bodega Bay with the King Salmon action.

Well, it's been really good, Sepp.

We opened our fall season the way we ended our summer season.

See you later.

All right, we're going to take a break right now.

When we come back, Mr. Mike Ogney with the Golden State Salmon Association joins us with hopefully some great news.

We'll be right back.

There'll be plenty more coming very, very soon.

me a favor.

Pronounce S-A-L-M-O-N.

Salmon?

Okay.

Apologies to anybody who's listening, who, who is deeply involved, but it, to the general fishing public, they're probably not aware of any of this, but there have been some, Funny goings on.

So we didn't do that guy because the National Anglers Council was a new thing that Peter Tomlinson had set up where he tried to get the National Federation of Anglers, the Court Anglers, the Salmon and Trout Association, and the National Federation of Sea Anglers all on the same page with the National Anglers Council, which was fairly short-lived.

And there was a new set of qualifications that were set up.

So I did the Advanced Game Angling Instructor which involved quite a lot of stuff.

But thank you.

Thank you so much for listening to the podcast today.

We're gonna be hanging out with, uh, our buddy Mike Ogney.

Mike's gonna be checking in from the Golden Gate Salmon Association.

Stick around, guys.

Yeah, let's go fishing.

They're a vital part of our economy, our environment, and our culture.

But they're in peril, facing tough times.

That's why the Golden State Salmon Association is working hard.

We're a group of fishermen, environmentalists, businesses, and families who believe that salmon are essential for California's future.
