My Time With Nick Lyons

What this episode covers

Recently, Rob dedicated a fall weekend to traveling to the Catskills to fish and conduct an in-person interview with Nick Lyons. Nick’s works in writing and publishing have played a crucial role in shaping Rob’s lifelong passion for fishing. When Rob launched this podcast in 2010, he was significantly inspired by the writings of both Nick Lyons and John Geirach. Rob has emulated Lyons' authenticity alongside Geirach's "trout bum" way of life as he seeks to educate others about fly fishing and share captivating tales. This moment provides Rob with the opportunity to connect with Nick in his sunroom in Woodstock, NY, exchanging stories about his fishing experiences, from his very first catch to his last catch and those he shared the water with along the way. Nick recants tales involving notable figures like Ed Van Put, Lefty Kreh, Mark Sosin, Tom Rosenbauer, Sparse Grey Hackle, Charles Ritz, Lee Wulff, Art Flick, Vince Marinaro, William Humphrey, Craig Matthews, Yvon Chouinard, Tom McGuane, and Al Troth. Some of these anecdotes have yet to be shared publicly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
