EP. 59 Record Holder Corinne Skinner on Chasing Trophy Muskie on Lake St. Clair

Posted by Angie Scott · May 14, 2019

What's your bucket list fish? Mine is currently the "fish of 10,000 casts"...that's right, the muskie! I recently had the chance to chat with a young woman who has an absolutely amazing story when it comes to catching these beasts. Meet Corrine Skinner. And she gets to do it on one of the premier muskie fisheries in the country, Lake St. Clair! She's a true inspiration for other women who haven't experienced the thrill of chasing muskie and she's an active member of the Michigan Ontario Muskie Club.

Peggy Ferrell is the director of the Becoming an Outdoor Woman program. BOW started in 1990 after a conference at UWSP to explore how they could get more women involved in hunting and fishing.

EP. 57 Talking Fishing Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with Country Music Star Terri Clark

Posted by Angie Scott · April 30, 2019

It was a busy Friday night at the Grand Ole Opry for country music star Terri Clark. She was hosting the 7:30 segment of the show which included performing two songs of her own. Guests on her portion of the evening's entertainment included bluegrass comedian Mike Snider and country legend John Conlee. (To the audience's amusement, they discovered Clark can do a pretty darn good John Conlee "Rose Colored Glasses" impersonation!)

On top of all of that, Clark hosts her own radio show called Country Gold which includes interviews she does with stars backstage at the Grand Ole Opry. She happened to have one of these interviews to do that evening with industry icon Vince Gill.

EP. 55 Steelhead Fishing on the River of Presidents

Posted by Angie Scott · April 16, 2019

There is no better way to shake off the winter doldrums than to be standing streamside chasing steelhead. You can witness spring come alive as the ice and snow melt away and flow into the river, while birds and other wildlife wake up to the warmth of a spring sunrise. Steelhead are a massive trout (rainbow) that migrate into the streams from the Great Lakes. Steelhead and salmon are native to the Pacific Northwest but in the 1960s, a very successful stocking program developed into a multi-billion dollar fishing and boating tourism industry in the Great Lakes Region.
