I'm April Voki and you are listening to Anchored.

My chance to speak with some of the most influential people involved in the outdoors today.

Join me as I sit down with my guests to learn more about their careers, opinions, history,

relationships, and life both indoors and out.

Jack Ford took up fly fishing and elementary school.

By the 5th grade, he was tying his own flies, and before graduating from high school,

he was an avid fly tire and fly fisherman.

Jack started fly fishing for Steelhead in 1972 before getting the travel bug and setting

off to experience other fisheries, including Montana, where he made quite a name for himself.

Jack is a longtime guide, outfitter, and conservationist who's endured a lifetime of lessons

that many of us can learn from.

In this episode of Anchored, I sit down to learn more about what fly fishing was like

all those years ago in Michigan, and to hear more about his new book, The View from the

Middle Seat.

This episode of Anchored is brought to you by South Dakota and their incredible hunting

Hunting everyone can be a part of.

That's why they're focused on making their fields a welcome place for everyone.
