here we all know what this is like. So it starts to get cool. You can feel the weather change. There's that smell in the air. The leaves start to fall and you know that it's that time, right? We're either going up north or we're going to the Thompson. And this is where we all disappear and break up with our boyfriends and girlfriends.

Welcome to In the Bucket, the podcast that explores the culture of spay fishing in the Pacific Northwest, a spectacular land of mountains and wild rivers, where every cast has a story to tell.

I'm your host, Brian Niska.

Hey, thank you for joining us today.

We have a very informative show coming your way way as I'm speaking with April Voki from

Anchored Outdoors, as well as Spearama, World Champion Spaycaster Tim Arsino. I've been friends with

these two for many years and it's been exciting to watch them thrive as respected professionals

in the fly fishing industry. April has her own educational media company, including one of the best podcast shows in the outdoor space.

Tim runs a fly shop in Vancouver, is highly sought after as a spaycasting instructor, and has his own line company.

Today we're going to talk high-level spaycasting performance and gain some insight into the mindset of a successful steelheader.

So yeah, lots to talk about.

I will also put mine on.

My name is April Voki, and I'm an avid angler who, as you know, started out my journey
