Anchored Podcast Ep. 240: Ryan Brod on Tributaries, Generational Guiding, Fishing in Maine, Carp
Ryan Brod is a seasoned writer whose essays have graced the pages of numerous prestigious publications. Recently, he achieved another milestone with the publication of his first book, "Tributaries." However, Ryan's connection to the outdoors runs deep. Growing up surrounded by the hunting and fishing culture of the Belgrade Lakes region, he learned about fishing from his father, a generational guide. This upbringing shaped his path, leading him to become a Maine Guide in his early twenties.
Today, Ryan shares his passion for both storytelling and the natural world as a teacher of first-year writing and creative nonfiction at the University of New England. His experiences range from guiding inexperienced New Yorkers on frozen lakes to pursuing giant tarpons in the waters of Florida. In this episode of Anchored, we discuss fishing in Maine, how to fly fish from a canoe, fishing for carp in tidal waters, what makes us hunters (as anglers), choosing passion over profit in this day and age, and more.

    Thank you soo much for explaining the basics. I have struggled to find informative info for shed hunting. Most videos just show what folks find. I don't hunt the animals so I think I'm missing the knowledge of the animal behavior but I enjoy walking in the forest (spring/summer) and finding sheds is like finding a treasure.

    Been doin it for years and ppl the last 3 or 4 years been out moving the elk around in early march. No patience anymore. And now days u dont ever find a spot where a bunch of bulls drop.

      This is exactly why Colorado enacted a shed season starting May 1st. A-holes were literally chasing herds of bull elk around on ATVs, trying to get them to drop during their most vulnerable time of the season. Makes me really sad to see the lengths people are willing to go to. I walk around shed hunting in remote areas because I love being immersed in nature, while there are selfish peeps out there who just want to disrupt it.

She learned very early to grab the fly rod securely since the spawners would hammer it. I never cared whether I caught one but to see her smile was priceless.

    Esa piel no está curtida, antes de engrasar sumergela en un concentrado de tanino, casi cualquier corteza de árbol o arbusto contiene tanino, corta unos 500 grs , hazlo pedacitos y lo hierves, luego lo dejas enfriar y cuelas, entonces sumerges la piel ahí unos 7 días, mover regularmente una o dos veces al día, usa un recipiente de plástico, después de 7 días ya estará curtida y entonces puedes continuar con el engrasando y te quedará bonita tu piel, te saludo desde México ❤

    Oameni buni, pocaiti-va! Citiți Biblia si faceti toate poruncile din Noul Testament. Isus Hristos este Fiul lui Dumnezeu, S-a facut om pentru noi si a venit sa ne mantuiasca. A murit pe cruce pentru noi, ca noi sa fim mantuiti, adica salvati de la chinul vesnic, unde merg toti care au pacatuit si nu au crezut in Isus Hristos. Domnul nostru Isus Hristos este Fiul lui Dumnezeu si El a luat asupra Lui, pacatele noastre, a fost judecat pentru pacatele noastre si de aceea a murit pe cruce. Dar neavand pacat, a inviat si a dus in imparatia lui Dumnezeu pe toti cei care au crezut in El, care au murit inainte de venirea Sa si dupa El, pana la finalul lumii. Pocaiti-va si paziti poruncile Lui, caci El a zis sa ramanem in Cuvantul Lui, care este Biblia, si astfel vom fi ai Lui. Caci cine crede in El, pazeste poruncile Lui. Pocaiti-va, adica cereti-va iertare de pacatele voastre, apoi luati decizia sa faceti doar dupa Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu, pana la finalul zilelor voastre pe pamant si vestiti pe Dumnezeu si tot Cuvantul Sau, tuturor oamenilor. Indemnati la pocainta si pocaiti-va!Credeți tot ce este scris în Biblie despre Isus Hristos și faceți după poruncile Lui!Daca nu faceți așa ceva, dacă nu luați decizia sa va cereți iertare de păcate și nu vă decideți să nu mai pacatuiti până la finalul vieții pământești, la moartea trupească sufletul merge in locul de chin, care va tine veșnic. Pocaiti-va, ca să vă schimbați asa de mult, încât sa se numeasca naștere din nou, iar atunci nu veți mai pacatui și veti fi salvați, veți merge la Dumnezeu!Daca un om nu se naște din nou, nu poate fi mântuit! Cititi Evanghelia după Ioan, capitolul 3.Oameni buni, nu mai umblați pe calea ortodoxiei. Nu mai aduceți închinare la icoane, moaște sau altceva. Faceți doar după Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu. Nu va închinati inaintea la altceva, in afara de Dumnezeu. Inchinati-va numai în duh și în adevăr, lui Dumnezeu! Nu va închinati nici la sfinți, caci prin ei a lucrat Dumnezeu, iar aceasta învățătura este straina de Biblie! Cititi Biblia și faceți voia lui Dumnezeu! Treceți la o confesiune creștină și la o biserică creștină după Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu!Naștere din nou inseamna atunci când omul nu mai păcătuiește.Îndemnați și sprijiniți oameni la pocăință și la sfințenie și la același lucru si la cercetarea Scripturilor repetat, neîncetat și zilnic, până la finalul zilelor lor pe pământ.Nu mai trăiți în mod desert de viețuire, vestiți Evanghelia.Îndemnați și sprijiniți oameni la pocăință și la sfințenie și la același lucru si la cercetarea Scripturilor repetat, neîncetat și zilnic, până la finalul zilelor lor pe pământ. Îndemnați și sprijiniți la pocăință.Chiar de este ceva pentru câștigarea pâinii, nu va ocupați mereu de acest lucru, ci puneți un timp zilnic, de o parte, un timp generos, pentru vestirea Evangheliei, prin orice mijloc, pentru cercetarea Bibliei si rugaciune. Răspândirea Cuvântului lui Dumnezeu se poate și online, pe comunități unde se fac greșeli, că să le îndreptați. Căutați o biserică și alipiți-va de ea. Chemați pe cei fără o biserică după Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu, la acea biserică. Răspândiți Evanghelia și prin viu grai, călătoriți când aveți posibilitatea.
