Episode 599 – MN record steelhead, whitetails with Ryan Rothstein, Duck Hunters Expo, DC pool

https://www.outdoornews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/July-3-long-show.mp3 Tim Lesmeister and Rob Drieslein start the show with a chat about the Minnesota catch-and-release steelhead record, which has been broken twice in less than a year by a pair of sisters, plus a recent rescue from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Then Outdoor News columnist Ryan Rothstein joins the show to chat about whitetail production this spring and the state of deer hunting in the region. Mike Sidders from Delta Waterfowl jumps into the discussion to promote the organization’s Duck Hunters Expo schedule for July 24-26 in Des Moines. Wrap-up chatter with Lesmeister includes how they’d fix algae in the national reflecting pool in Washington DC, false AI-generated stories about jaguars in the American southwest, and a dead tree in the UK that goes back to Robin Hood days.
