John Sherman

In this episode John Sherman joins us to sit down with the one and only Peter B. Moyle. Peter is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology and associate director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California-Davis. Considered by many to be the Godfather of fisheries biology in California, Peter has taught many of our state's top biologists. His book, Inland Fishes of California is what John Sherman describes as "the bible of freshwater fishes in California". We pick Peter's brain on a number of topics - and he's already agreed to do it again, so expect more! --- TEXT CALTROUT to 26989 to support wild fish in healthy waters.

Kamchatka, Russia has established a reputation for two things: being home to some of the world’s largest steelhead and having a large number of bears. Each year Kamchatka’s many bears and a few fortunate anglers cross streamside paths in a shared pursuit of the elusive steelhead. In order to protect their clients, local Kamchatka guides use dogs to keep the hungry bears at bay. Enter Kuchook - arguably the most bad-ass alpha dog in the region. No other dog was as respected and loved as Kuchook. Sadly, Kuchook was brought down by a bear recently. Guide Greg Kennedy (@fishkennedybrothers) and industry rep / photographer, John Sherman (@johngsherman) join us to celebrate Kuchook’s legacy, share some special moments on the water with him, and pay tribute to Kamchatka’s Top Alpha Dog, Kuchook. “I hope there’s bears in heaven, because nothing gave Kuchook more pleasure than biting a bear in the ass.” - Greg Kennedy --- Support the show!

On this short episode of the Barbless Fly Fishing Podcast, listen to Chad and Nick reflect on Chad’s experience at Simms Pro Delta Day 2017 in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. Chad notes the different techniques different guides have, highlights some of the cool Simms Fishing gear that is coming out for the 2018 season, and touches on conservation in the Delta with respect to the Delta Tunnels. Then join in on Chad’s conversation withJohn Sherman, the Simms West Coast representative who puts the event together every year. Delta Day started off in John’s backyard seven years ago, and quickly moved to Sugar Barge. The event is a great way for fishing guides and product representatives to come together and learn about new products Simms is producing. The event is also a way for anglers to come together on causes they care about. Listen up as John and Chad talk about Simms’ new waders and expanding women’s line. The two also discuss the dynamic fishery that is the Delta, from the diversity of migratory and resident species found within its 1100 square miles, to its importance economically.
