Episode #33 Matt Lourdeau - Host -Cast Across Podcast

Guy talks to Matt Lourdeau about Brooke trout, Tiger trout and Smallmouth bass in his area as well as his very successful podcast "Cast Across" on Waypoint TV.About Matt Lourdeau -My first fish was an Illinois canal bluegill, and my first fish on the fly was a Yellow Breeches brown trout. Although the bluegill piqued my interest in nature and outdoor activities, that brown trout was a catalyst that was to be measured a lot larger than its own twelve inches.Growing up in Northern Virginia, the trout and bass of that commonwealth, Maryland, and Pennsylvania were where I spent Saturdays and school holidays. After college, I relocated to Pennsylvania to live on some of the best spring creeks in the east (and, as I told everyone, to go to graduate school). I’ve worked for a big fly fishing company, sold rods for a small dealer, done private instruction, and served as director of the premier conservation youth camp in the country.But it most definitely isn’t just fly fishing. I’m married to a wonderful woman who happens to be my high school sweetheart. She’s awfully patient and tolerant of most of my angling pursuits. I have four amazing boys, and all love to be outdoors and have shown an interest in things that swim and squirm.I love my family, fishing, barbeque, civil war history, music, football, and, most of all, Jesus Christ.I’ve always written, and for years thought about organizing the coherent bits into a website. It’s happened, and I look forward to where it goes.-MatthewLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
