2024-09-1754 minThe Orvis Fly-Fishing PodcastWho Owns the River, with Beau BeasleyWho owns the banks of a river? Who owns the bottom? Who owns the water that flows through a channel?

Beau Beasley [35:27] has spent years looking at specific cases of access controversies, and some of you may not like what he says because he often comes down on the side of a landowner who prohibits access to a piece of river. But Beau looks at the facts and the law and ap...
2024-09-161h 38The Orvis Fly-Fishing PodcastWild and Crazy Stories from an Award-Winning Fly-Fishing Guide, with Chip Swanson I take guilty pleasure in hearing horror stories from guides about their worst clients or other crazy things that happen on the river.

The Orvis Fly-Fishing PodcastA life in fly fishing, with Tom McGuane.Back in 2008 when I first began this podcast I had two dreams—that I would have my two literary heros, John McPhee and Thomas McGuane as guests (they are both passionate fly fishers).
