On this episode of The Double Haul Podcast Eric and I catch up with our buddy Hans and chat about all things commercial fishing. Have you ever paid the extra money for a filet of wild caught Alaskan Sockeye salmon at a restaurant or your local grocery store? Ever wonder about the path that fish takes to go from its cold ocean home to your dinner plate? We discuss all of this as well as the hardships endured by the men and women working so hard to bring you fish from the scenic and sustainable fishery of Bristol Bay Alaska. We then discuss what makes the salmon, a simple yet incredible fish, the backbone of the world in Alaska before hearing about some close calls fishing in the dangerous water of Bristol Bay. We hope you enjoy this episode of The Double Haul Podcast.

On this episode of The Double Haul Podcast we chat with Caleb Davis, an Alaskan fly-fishing guide and pilot. Join us as we talk about what it was like spending one's youth in bush Alaska away from the grocery stores and traffic lights that dwell on the road system. Caleb tells us about learning to fish on some un-named western river in Alaska with otherworldly numbers of large wild rainbow trout and then we laugh about some hilarious escapades on the river while learning to drive a jet boat.  We talk about what really makes a good guide in Alaska as well as some of the details of getting your pilot's license. In this episode you'll learn that both a first-time passenger and a seasoned pilot are both spending the duration of a flight thinking about crashing.  We end by getting the scoop on an upcoming winter fly-out moose hunt that co-host Eric and Caleb will be going on later this month. Thanks for listening to The Double Haul Podcast!
