Tom Rowland Podcast

This week, I sit down with my good friend, Capt. John Landry, whose journey from fishing in the Florida Keys to becoming a guide in Alaska and Florida is nothing short of remarkable. I've had the privilege of fishing with John's father, for many years in the beautiful Florida Keys. John joined us on these expeditions when he was just ten years old, and it's been a joy to witness his evolution into a seasoned guide. In this episode, we delve into John's experiences, exploring how he transitioned from having zero freshwater guiding experience to becoming a guide in the wilds of Alaska and then returning to Florida. John's story is one of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of his dreams. While we discuss various water quality issues, our conversation takes us beyond the technicalities. We explore John's encounters with wildlife, particularly bears, in the Alaskan wilderness. His tales of bear sightings and the respect he holds for these majestic creatures offer a unique perspective on the Alaskan landscape. Bo
