Rob first met Shane in 2013 on New York's Salmon River during Shane's inaugural trip to the river. Rob helped Shane in catching his first steelhead, which was roughly the same size as Shane at that time, as he barely fit into the small-sized waders he wore. To learn more about Shane's history, of snorkeling with salmonids you can listen to his prior interview from October 2022. Shane possesses extensive knowledge about bull trout, more than any of us, which is why he is our featured guest this week.
We reconnect with Shane in Alaska, where he and his girlfriend live in some type of mobile home. He is guiding this summer while his girlfriend works as a waitress in town. Shane delves into the science, myth, and lore surrounding bull trout, sharing essential tips on how to catch them and where to find them.
Pay close attention to the section about the immense effort, dedication, and energy it takes to locate a giant bull trout. Perhaps Rob was fortunate during that road trip to Idaho when he was dropped off at an unnamed Idaho stream and encountered these apex predators for the first time. You’ll discover how bull trout habitats transform with elevation, along with the treasures Shane has found while snorkeling. This might inspire you to pick up a mask and snorkel and explore your favorite stream yourself.
