We liked this fun piece on guide David Mangum by our friends at Garden & Gun.

03. Book pick: Lords of the Fly by Monte Burke

Monte Burke is at his best in his latest book. From the jacket: “This is a story of the obsessed, unhinged, and often brilliant dreamers who chase giant tarpon… a primeval fish with breathtaking glamour and ungodly strength.”

Listen in as former Olympic skier turned tarpon extraordinaire Andy Mill interviews a wide cast of characters from in and around the outdoor world. From their website: “Mill House is not just a fishing podcast. It is comprised of in depth conversations with innovators, legends, and pioneers of the outdoors. Get ready for educational outdoor content along with listening to some riveting, untold stories from industry leaders.”
