Featuring Tom Larimer---Product Designer, Steelheader, Spey Casting Instructor and Idea Guy
Tom and I met one evening while pondering a really nice piece of steelhead water. During the process of figuring out the Skagit Line craze, Tom and I shared ideas, cut some fly lines, drank some whisky and caught a few steelhead. This episode of Fin and Fire with Jeff Mishler goes deep into the weeds...If you are crazy about spey rods, steelhead fishing, Skagit lines and the lifestyle that comes with it, this is your podcast.
About Jeff Mishler
Jeff Mishler is a fifth generation Oregonian who's life work is hard to quantify. Father, writer, photographer, television commercial director, environmentalist, video producer/distributor, website manager, hunter, angler and lifelong recreationist who lives a fly-by-the-seat-of-yourpants mantra. If he’s not in his office writing another essay or developing a show concept, he’s chasing mallards and pheasants with his lab Hailey, running his jet sled up a local river to a sweet steelhead run, setting up on a screaming bull elk with bow in hand or conspiring with his small circle of equally affected steelhead bums while downing healthy portions of really good Oregon beer.

Episode 41 Featuring Garrett Lesko---Award Winning Fly Tyer and Ambassador For the Future
Episode 41 | Garrett Lesko ties beautiful and intricate fly patterns, but more than that, he represents a generation of passionate fly tyers using social media to stay connect to an audience while building enthusiasm with his work. I met Garrett at the 2024 Northwest Fly Tyer and Fly fishing Expo in Albany, Oregon where we go deep into his origin story and share some common ground spent around a fly tying vice.
Episode 40 Featuring Al Buhr--Legendary Spey Line Designer, Boat Builder, Casting Instructor and Innovative Thinker
Episode 40 | Modern Spey Line design can be attributed to a few open minded thinkers and Al Buhr is one of them. His approach to describing the mechanics of the fly cast is rooted in the messages from his mentors. Jim Green and Joan Wulff play a huge role in the ethos of Al Buhr. And as he says in the Podcast, "I'm happy that I get to talk about my heroes."
Episode 39 Featuring Scott O'Donnell---Industry Icon, Steelhead Guide, Naturalist and Photographer of Lichens

It's hard work to create opportunities for clients on a daily basis. But the lifestyle has its rewards. In this episode of Fin and Fire With Jeff Mishler, I sit with Scott at my place on the Oregon Coast and we drink some whisky while sharing perspectives of how it use to be, and how it is today. Get ready for a conversation that goes long into the night.
