George Cavanaugh Podcast

Really enjoyed this one. Lessons on fishing and photography. My favorite answer was his listing his wife #1 and fishing #2. I dare say you’ve had a few guests that might flip those 2 spots.

The best!

This is the best podcast I’ve ever heard! Each episode is packed with thoughtful and informative discussions. I have especially enjoyed “The Last Salmon.”

Great show, even for those of us across the pond

I look forward to every new episode and really appreciate the people and stories that are shared. The episodes on Salmon farming and the notes on the declines in fish populations are things that all everyone should be paying attention to and they are covered in a way that is approachable by all. My only complaint is that I’m not in Ireland listening to these great conversations and chasing fish!

Quality

I loved the the Railway Fishery Part 1. It has history, human dreams and struggles with the backdrop of the river and fly fishing. It makes me want to learn more about Ballyduff and the Blackwater. Hope to hear more like it.
