The Return... Checking in.

Hot podcasting from Chico, California.

This is the Bartlett fly fishing podcast. Where we discuss North health fly fishing, guiding fisheries signs and management,

conservation and more.

No better, fish better. Here's your host. Hogan brown. Hey, everybody, and welcome back.

Welcome back to the Barb podcast. This is your host Hogan Brown, and it is

it has been a while.

We have been on indefinite hiatus for

gosh, probably a a a couple years now.

Gonna fire this thing back up and

get back to at least hopefully having an episode a month or every couple weeks. We

me and Chad,

been talking me and Chad been working on a bunch of stuff actually, but

this definitely one of the things that we've wanted to get going again, and I've wanted to get going again.

It's an enjoyable thing for me, and

I've heard a lot of people say they enjoyed the episodes when they were coming out. So

we kinda put it on the back burner for a while or or at least I did personally just because if if you know me,

I got two young boys, well they're not young anymore, but they were.

And,

Just manned bandwidth. Right? Like,

I had to kinda step away from a lot of things.

While my kids were

in those years.

But now I got a I got a high school senior this year in a high school sophomore.

So definitely still in the middle of it, but

just finding some more time as

let's be real. They both transport

themselves now. They both have driver's licenses,

and

one's getting ready to

move away for school and such. So

just something kinda, you know, when you when you get to that point in your life where you you you do set some things aside. You

there are...

Well, I guess there are always times, Hopefully, you get to pick them back up. So

I started a couple maybe a month ago. Recording episodes. I got three episodes in the can. We're gonna start dropping those episodes

over the next week or two,

kinda dole them out.

And

kinda backfill as we go.

Got an episode recorded a with a good friend of mine, Frank,

huge advocate and just

Gosh, just crusader for the lower Hub, one of the

guys that used to take me fishing on the lower Hub when I was

young. So,

Frank guided out there for a number of years and has become really involved

in the lower Hub and kind of the restoration and conservation side of that. And

some big issues on the U,

the fish passage,

the,

you know, I guess, building a basically a ditch around the gear opening up you know, the upper section to

possibly

migrations of many different kinds of fish,

then

you know, obviously, Sam and Sm and all the type of stuff on Hub.

Got another episode in the can with a a good friend of mine Carson Max s,

who is a

conventional wrangler and Fly fisherman who designs

glide and,

honestly catches more big stripe than

anyone I know,

and just basically an hour of me and him nerd out,

which

when I listened back to was actually pretty interesting. And then

a

a conversation Paul, Paul Young,

my good buddy, Paul Young who

basically does everything from Spear fishing to

fly fishing to gear fishing to swimming with fish in the river.

Gotten episode with him. Just checking in with him. He's been a guest before. So

gotta get some more got bunch emails and techs out to try to convince people to sit on phone with me and talk for an hour. But,

yeah. So we're gonna be back. And I'm excited about it.

Hopefully, bandwidth allows me to sustain it and keep it going and

if you do have ideas,

definitely reach out, h to fly fishing on Instagram, and then hogan brown

at hotmail dot com. Feel free to email.

If you got show ideas or someone you wanna hear or events you wanna promote or anything of that nature. We'll probably be checking in with all the all the crew up here in Nor cal and

involving in everyone. We got some great sponsors lined back up. We got Luna outdoors.

Five through outfitters,

fly fishing specialties,

and

a whole slew of people. Chad will definitely be involved. We may pull chad out of the computer cave and put a microphone in front of him eventually. So

standby for that as well.

Well,

that is the check in, and,

stay tuned is all I can say. Keep an eye on your feed, and we're gonna be back in it. Alright. Take care.
