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.

In this episode of Anchored, we're doing something a little different.

I was recently a guest on the outside podcast with Patio, where we discussed some of the more unconventional aspects of fishing. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Find more from Patty on iTunes, Spotify, or www.outsideonline.com. You may have noticed me wearing squala fishing apparel for the past year or so, and I've got to say, I've been really impressed with everything I've tried. I love the way they designed gear. They managed to strike a perfect balance between durable and functional, but also comfortable and mobile. I stay warm and dry, but never feel cramped or restricted when I'm waiting, casting, or rowing. I've enjoyed being in their apparel so much. I recently joined their team as an ambassador. We've even been working together on ways to translate their expertise with technical fly fishing apparel into gear that's specifically designed for women. And I'm really excited about the progress we've made. If you haven't already done so, go check them out at squalafishing.com and see what they're all about.

So we hike up to Grantham Falls.

And of course, there's nobody there.

So why wouldn't we do what every young group of girls would do?

We get butt-ass naked.

And we get into the base of Grantham Falls.

And it's like in the movies where it's like, oh, feel the wind in my

face. And then all of a sudden I'm like, yeah, that's because you know you can hear the waterfall.

But I'm going, that's a lot of extra wind and a lot of extra. What the hell? I turn around. And there's

a helicopter hovering there. It was the firefighters with the helicopters of the water. And they're sitting there. We got these two naked nymphs. We're trying to just cover absolutely everything. And they're just sitting there. Can you imagine collecting water? It looked like there were four of them. So if you're listening and you were one of those firefighters, first, don't tell anyone what you saw, but then please let me know that you were one of those guys, because we talk about

it all the time. And they just, they just sat there, hovering, staring, watching us fall over

ourselves. Oh my God. It was a good summer. It was a good summer. Yeah, it sounds like it was a

great summer for the firefighters. Exactly.

My mom jokes that my grandpa never met a stranger because he instantly made friends.

My favorite example of this is the time my mom was at an anti-war protest in downtown Chicago. This was the end of the 60s, after all, and she brought a few fuzzy-faced hippies home for some refreshments and
