In this episode we WadeOutThere with Riverhorse Nakadate, from Houston Texas. Riverhorse was born in Austin, Texas to a single mother and joyful days playing in the Colorado River and at the public library.  His adopted father was a professor of literature and steelheader, which cemented his love of books and fishing at an early age.  The family spent summers along the Oregon coast, where Riverhorse immersed himself in the ocean… fishing and surfing.   After traveling the world surfing, playing music, and writing articles for surf and fly fishing magazines, Riverhorse returned to Texas, and fly fishing… in the local salt marshes and lakes around Houston.  Riverhorse is a musician, conservationist, fisherman, surfer, and thoughtful author, whose first book, Waterlines, shares his most treasured stories.  The beautiful and painful ones.We discuss Texas fly fishing from a canoe for redfish and large mouth bass, Riverhorse’s love of writing and books, and how searching for our own “child’s heart,” can bring meaning and joy to life.
