We talk a lot about connecting to nature here on the podcast, but it’s usually through the lens of agriculture, cultivating, and farming.
But that’s just the beginning. Wildcrafting, hunting, and fishing connect us to the natural world in powerful way. I’m thrilled to be joined by author and angler, Conor Sullivan, in this podcast episode. We talk about the similarities between the ocean and the prairie, why fishing may just be your next old-fashioned adventure, how to start fishing as an adult (even if you’ve never done it before), and his best tried-and-true fish cooking tips.
