Episode 40: Joeski, Part 1 – From Fly Rods to Float Planes Guest: Joe Skorupski Host: Mike Ruhl Description: In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Mike sits down with longtime friend and fisheries biologist Joe Skorupski for a conversation that spans decades of friendship, public lands work, and unforgettable hunts. From their first meeting in Yellowstone National Park to shared river time in Montana and a legendary pheasant hunt in a Lewistown blizzard, this episode is full of storytelling gold. The highlight is Joe’s epic DIY drop-camp Alaska hunt with two friends, chasing caribou and moose across the tundra and down a wild river. You’ll hear about monster bulls, failed crossings, and everything that can—and did—go wrong on a backcountry expedition. Topics Covered: Joe’s early years fishing Pennsylvania’s Schuylkill River Yellowstone work and wild stories from the field Grad school hustle and macroinvertebrate research Western big game hunting, bird dogs, and backcountry mindset DIY Alaska float hunt: planning, caribou success, and moose close calls Lessons from the woods, the water, and the people who chase both Teaser: Come back for Part 2, where the story takes a powerful turn. You won't want to miss what happens next. Also, watch for upcoming episodes from our Norway fishing trip—stories, misadventures, and hopefully some giant halibut.
