Forest and Stream
by Bryan Muche
This Forest and Stream podcast will take you to the times, the people and the events that shaped America and Americans, our ideals, our values and our dreams. We’ll seat you alongside the affluent and in the boots of everyday citizens to deliver a rare insight and an unfiltered view through a window into the past. Discover how footprints made generations ago have worn a path to where our own outdoor experiences still intersect today, and affects you now. As with many historical works from past era’s, there are phrases, terms, and descriptions that are inappropriate to our modern sensibilities. We in no way condone these offensive remarks or passages but may choose to read published work in its entirety for purposes of education and accurate historic context. We hope you enjoy this show, perhaps finding a new understanding and even revealing a connection that moves you a little closer to touching our past.

Trout Fishing - January 1, 1874
TROUT FISHING Give me a rod of the split bamboo, A rainy day and a fly or two, A mountain stream where the eddies play, And mists hang low o'er the winding way. Give me a haunt by the purling brook, A hidden spot in a mossy nook, No sound save hum of the drowsy bee, Or lone bird's tap on the…
