I'm April Vokey and you are listening to Ancard. My chance to interview some of the most influential people involved in the fishing world today. Join me as I travel to sit face to face with my guests in their own homes

to learn more about their careers, opinions, history, relationships,

and life both on and off the water.

Scott Baker Magarva is regularly described as an encyclopedia of knowledge by his British

Colombian peers.

Sales rep, guide, instructor, and fly shop veteran,

the man seems to know a little about everything when it comes to fishing.

It's rare to find a subject that Scott can't provide insight on,

so I met him in Vancouver to find out more about his life and his steelhead fishing.

In this episode we talk about the flyline revolution, swinging techniques, fishing eggs, and more.

I like to let people know my relationships with my guests and you were my first

ever flycasting lesson and you've been in my life for a really long time so let's share you

with the rest of the world.

I was tying flies and working a little fly shop in Vancouver, Turner's Flying Tackle, and taking the bus there.

He used to take the bus to Ruddick's fly shop on Thursday evenings because it was the only time that

I could get there with enough time to actually get what I needed because most shops

would close at 530.
