By Ryan Shea and Jordan DiVirgilio
Two Angles on AnglingSep 03, 2023
Episode 82
After spending 6 days on the water, there’s a ton to talk about. Jordan and Ryan talk about the big changes in the pattern lately from Lake Erie to the Niagara to Lake Ontario. The whole region is in bloom and the fishing is excellent right now so that dominates the discussion. The guys get deep about mental resiliency – how to build it, how fragile our mind state is, how a song can change your mood, how physical fitness plays a role, and much more…
Episode 81
It was a wild weather week but both Ryan and Jordan managed to spend time on the water, so the conversation starts off with a report about what they saw. An assessment of the forecast for the upcoming week follows. The guys get deep about lost connections with nature, what it feels like when a cold front approaches, similarities and differences between spring and fall, how fear of missing out in the spring is a thing but not so much for the fall...and more.
Episode 80
It was a wild weather week. From the eclipse to huge winds to floods - Ryan and Jordan spent most days either fishing or assessing the impacts of Mother Nature’s wrath. The guys get deep about Jordan's upcoming fishing trip. He took the first step of picking the dates - detailed planning ensues.
Episode 79
Episode 78
This past week was gorgeous here in the Buffalo Niagara Region s- Ryan and Jodan spent more days than not on the water. Their angling exploits dominate the conversation as does the impending reversion to winter. Various rants follow. Topics include - fly fishing, does working out make sense when you guide daily, the ideal diet for a guide during busy season, Ryan's challenge to Jordan, and more...
Episode 77
Although Jordan and Ryan didn't get to fish much this past week, they at least spent some time on the water getting in some reps in advance of the busy season. Topics discussed include - what it felt like being back on our local water, what they noticed when they were out, the wild swings in weather, what to expect in the upcoming weeks, the differences and similarities between their generations, and more.
Episode 76
It's been close to a month since Ryan and Jordan's last recording - a lot has happened since then. Topics discussed include the insane weather happening in the Buffalo Niagara Region, what to expect in the upcoming weeks, Ryan's trip to Florida for tarpon, Ryan's trip to Guyana, and much more.
Episode 75
After a couple weeks off, Ryan and Jordan catch up. Topics discussed include: the upcoming Niagara Fishing Expo, beavers living in the whirlpool (Lower Niagara), the Buffalo Butcher, is delayed gratification a path worth exploring, how Great Lakes residents believe enduring harsh weather builds resilience and that’s a badge of honor worth wearing, and more…
Episode 74
It's been a few weeks since Jordan and Ryan recorded an episode - mainly because the conditions around the Buffalo Niagara Region haven't provided many opportunities to get on the water. Still, much has changed around the area to warrant an update. In the spirit of working out those "conversational muscles," the guys provide an angling update, catch up on what they've been up to lately and their plans for the next few weeks.
Episode 73
After taking the last couple of weeks off due to the holidays and generally poor fishing conditions, Ryan and Jordan are back to discuss what they’ve seen both on the water and off. Much has changed around the Buffalo Niagara Region so there’s a lot to talk about. They recorded from the road while recon’ing the fishery to provide a report of current conditions. The guys get deep about travel plans for 2024 – how/why they decided on the locations they plan to visit and what goes into the planning process.
Episode 72
After a week of big winds, waves, snow, and rain, Jordan and Ryan's discussion about their time on the water is brief. Considering that both of them spent much of the week cooped up, the guys get deep about the content they've been consuming. From movies to podcasts to books, we discuss the various subjects that are grabbing their attention lately and why
Episode 71
It was a week of wonderful weather (for the most part) in the Buffalo Niagara Region. Ryan fished every day and Jordan managed to spend a lot of time outside, keeping tabs on what's happening on the terrestrial side of things. As the harshest days of winter approach, the guys get deep about their winter fitness protocols - what they do and why.
Episode 70
Episode 69
Jordan and Ryan spend the entire session discussing what’s been happening on the water. Both of them fished this past week and have plenty to discuss about the current pattern and what to expect in the upcoming weeks.
Episode 68
Episode 67
After a couple weeks off due to bronchitis, wild schedules, and family commitments, Jordan and Ryan finally got back together to record this episode. There's over 2 weeks of fishing, outdoor activities, and natural observations to discuss. Enjoy!
Episode 66
After 6 days of fishing and taking a couple losses on some salmon missions, Ryan has a lot to talk about. Plus, conditions changed markedly since their last podcast, so the guys talk about that as well. As per usual, they provide the angling forecast for this upcoming week followed by some banter about fall conditions thus far.
Episode 65
Jordan and Ryan catch up after taking a week off. They discuss the drastic change in conditions of late and how that might affect their approach to the fishery (i.e. tactics, locations, etc.). The forecast for this upcoming week looks dicey and erratic so they review options for places to fish when the weather is hostile.
Episode 64
Jordan and Ryan discuss local conditions and provide the angling forecast for next week. They get deep about Ryan's recent trip to Kansas.
Episode 63
Ryan fished all 7 days this past week, so he provides an in-depth report about where he fished and what he saw. Jordan and Ryan also discuss what they've been noticing on land and in the air. The guys get deep about the mistakes they've made on the water - a few anecdotes and the general theme that led to those mishaps.
Episode 62
It's a quick and to the point episode this week, folks. Jordan and Ryan cover what they saw from the water this past week as well as some observations about the other critters in the region and how things are changing...rapidly.
Episode 61
Jordan and Ryan managed to spend a lot of time on the water this past week - both together and individually - so they have much to discuss. Plus, both of the guys ended up going on last minute camping trips, so they discuss those as well. Topics include observations from this past week, an angling forecast for this upcoming week, what they've noticed off the water, predictions about the fall, the fall pattern in general (by species breakdown), and more. We hope you enjoy it.
Episode 60
We are back with a TON to talk about! It’s been about a month since we recorded our last podcast so there is much to discuss. Topics covered include: trip reports from our latest travels, observations from the water around the Buffalo Niagara Region as well as an angling forecast for the upcoming week, and more. It feels good to be back at it! We hope you enjoy this one.
Episode 59
This week's podcast is standard fare for the guys - Ryan spent most of his time walleye fishing this past week so he talks about his observations from those sessions. Sporadic, violent weather has been a thing lately, so they spend a little more time than usual discussing the upcoming week's forecast. The guys get deep about travel - making it a priority, how to budget for it, the annual pattern of life and the day-to-day activities that ensure we can keep exploring.
Episode 58
Episode 57
Episode 56
After another 7 day banger through the haze of northern wildfires, Ryan is well fished. From fishing through a hellscape (a wild exaggeration but that was a phrase muttered by more than a handful of people) to covering a ton of water to the latest pattern – there is a lot to discuss. Ryan and Jordan delve deep into resiliency when facing adversity.
Episode 55
It was a light week as far as the angling goes. A little rest, repair, and recovery was in order after the spring insanity so the fishing report is a bit sparse. The forecast for this upcoming week looks excellent and Ryan is booked daily so he discusses his plan. Jordan and Ryan get deep about how plants are attacking them and how defenseless it makes them feel.

After another long week of fishing daily, there is much to discuss. The spring grows old - the "transition" is underway so the guys spend much of their time discussing that pattern. They also reflect on what they saw during the pre-spawn period - about human behavior and animal behavior.
Episode 53
Chaotic weather was the theme of this past week. Despite the challenges, Jordan and Ryan spent a fair amount of time on the water so as per usual, they discuss the conditions and how the pattern changed from the week prior. The forecast for this upcoming week looks very promising so they discuss their plans for that as well. They get deep by asking themselves the question, "What would you be willing to sacrifice to protect your favorite water or secret spots?"

Jordan actually beat Ryan in numbers of days on the water for this past week. The guys discuss that outing, the current condition of the fishery (messy), and the forecast for next week. They get deep about Lake Ontario fish stocking. What’s the science behind the stocking numbers…by species? By location? Is the science sound/is the current methodology of "adaptive stocking" the best way to understand an extraordinarily complex system? Why does the Niagara receive a disproportionately small percentage of the total number of salmon stocked in Lake Ontario? And more…

Unfortunately, it was another week of minimal angling action so the fishing report as well as the forecast is brief.

Episode 36
The fact that Ryan managed 7 days on the water this past week provided a lot of things for Jordan and him to discuss. This upcoming week is looking excellent as well, so they discuss plans to take advantage of it.
Jordan and Ryan "get deep" about why they fish and where their drive for adventure comes from.

Episode 35
After missing their opportunity to record an episode last week, Jordan and Ryan catch up. As per usual, they discuss their observations from the water this past week and provide a forecast for the upcoming week.
In the "Getting Deep" portion of the discussion, they discuss the modern history of the Lower Niagara - starting around the late 1600s. Something to think about if you hike or fish the "Lower." Here is a link to the book Ryan mentioned: Beyond the Falls: A Modern History of the Lower Niagara River: Lisa Aug: 9780963281593: Amazon.com: Books

Episode 34
They get deep about the snowpocalypse (the crazy amount of snow that hit the region and grabbed national attention) and how they think it's going to affect the fishery. They recorded from the road while visiting some of the hardest hit areas in the region, so some interesting observations take place throughout.

Episode 33
Jordan and Ryan provide a report about this past week as well as a forecast for this upcoming week. The region got hit with a massive amount of wind and rainfall so the forecast for the upcoming week is particularly useful.
The "Getting Deep" portion of the discussion gets into the definition of native, wild, and stocked as it relates to fish. They discuss why these terms are relevant to angling and to an ecosystem. We also discuss how communities of advocates (tribalism) often align themselves in the pursuit of one over the other.
