Tom Rowland Podcast

Brandon Clift is the son of Bill Clift who has been a lifelong family friend.  Bill was influential in my life to show me that you can take alternative paths or even make your own path in life.  Bill was the only person I knew who was living differently than most.  He was racing sailboats, living as a ski instructor and traveling the World.  In hindsight, his influence was profound and is definitely a reason that I chose to do the things I have done thus far in this life.

My son Hayden Rowland is friends with Hunter Jackson. I met Hunter and saw how passionate he was about guiding and recently connected with him and got to catch up with him on what he is up to.

If you could keep Hunter in your thoughts and prayers and if you are able to go above and beyond there is a Go Fund Me Page. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Turner Rowland is a professional Elk Hunting guide in Bozeman, Montana.  Today, he sits down with us on How2Tuesday to discuss the best ways to call in an Elk. From Turner’s experience there are basically 2 strategies and possibly a hybrid between the two.  First is the Cow call where you sound like a cow in an attempt to lure the big Bull Elk to you.  Second is the bugle which sounds like a Bull Elk that is threatening to pull other cows away from the dominant Bull.

I came across a method of breathing 4 years ago. It is called the Wim Hof method, and if you ever get to hear Wim Hof talk about breathing he kind of sounds like a crazy person. But the more you look into it you find that everything he does is backed by scientific research.I found that I have lots in common with Taylor Somerville and we began to connect about Duck Key and that we both went to Alabama for school. I hope you enjoy this podcast today.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While my kids were growing up, we had a canal in our backyard and would play the Ring Game. As a fisherman, this is a great activity to reinforce my kids’ interest in fishing, but also I get to share one of my favorite hobbies with them. Though we had a canal, this game can be played in a pool, lake, or anywhere with water access. The Ring Game not only teaches kids how to cast their line, but is also a way to progress their skills, so they’re able to start catching fish on the flats. Learn more about your ad choices.

When choosing a bonefish fly, it is important to keep in mind the shape, size, and sink rates. Depending where you are fishing, you will need to have a heavier or lighter weight bonefish fly. For instance, if you are fishing in shallow water, you don’t want to throw a heavier weight bonefish fly in, as it will scare the fish away. Instead, you will want to have a lighter fly that will sink towards the bottom without having a strong, heavy impact. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’ve had the chance to hang out with Will Taylor and learn how deep his knowledge is in the fishing industry. As a Blue Ridge native and a professional fly-fishing guide, Will does trout fishing mostly in the Northern Georgia area. When Will isn’t a guide or out fishing, he loves being with his 16-month old daughter and watching her grow. I had a chance to do a Q&A with my followers and podcast listeners as they ask questions for the both of us to answer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I am not a podcast expert by any means, however I was able to get mine off the ground and have maintained it for 57 episodes so far. I learned how to do a podcast the hard way like most other things in my life. So, when I received multiple questions asking how I started or what equipment I use, I thought I would address this on the How2Tuesday episode. The first thing I did was check out the podcasts that had the best sound and shows that had very detailed notes, but it was still difficult to track down all the equipment. I made a few mistakes and purchased equipment I didn’t need. My initial setup was cumbersome and caused me to lose a podcast. After that I decided to create the simplest podcast setup I could so I would never lose another interview. Initially I used a laptop and headsets and would just sit down with one guest. It was very distracting for me to pay attention to the computer and audio levels. I did more research and came up with a much simpler setup. Below are all the products I menti

After two full How 2 Tuesdays featuring Graham Tayloe, I had the joy of sitting down with him. If you ever get to hunt with Graham you will see how incredibly passionate he is about what he does.

I’m sure you will enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed sitting down with Graham and talking about his plethora of knowledge about the outdoors and fishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Oxygen in the water: using a bubbler or aerator. You don’t need the water to be circulating, you need to oxygenate the whole area. A stone with a weight on it will make it sink and an aerator. Something for the shrimp to rest on. This is something that the shrimp can hang on to. A screen around the edge maybe. This is a great way to keep the shrimp alive. Learn more about your ad choices.

Great podcast here! I got to sit down with the hosts of Into The Blue television, Scott Walker and Steve Rodgers. It was hard for me to get around to do this podcast but we found some time and got it done. We also got to have Jake Perry, who does our underwater filming, sit down with us and tell us about a swordfish that attacked him. If you know anything about swordfish, you know that they are no joke and Jake was very fortunate to come out of that situation unscathed.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Lefty Kreh made the 50% rule for leaders and I use it all the time. A 9ft leader is kind of standard. There is a very simple formula, the one made by Lefty.  4+2+1+2=9 4.5+6+3+1.5+3=13.5 We start with 50 and taper down to 15. We start 4ft of 50lb, 2ft of 30lb, 1ft of 25lb then double the last distance of 2ft of 15lb.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
