Jani Himanko joins us from Jyväskylä, Finland - he brings more than two decades of experience in fishing tourism and the tackle industry. He’s the co-owner of Kellankoski Lodge and has been a professional fishing guide since 2001, most at home wading rapids in search of trout and grayling.

We chat to Jani about the fly fishing opportunities in Finland, and the incredible brown trout fishing at Kellankoski. Thanks so much for coming on the show, Jani!

In this episode, we explore the stories behind The Scale of Change Film Tour and the PALM Film Festival - two traveling showcases dedicated to celebrating wild places and protecting the fish and rivers that depend on them.

We’re joined by filmmakers and advocates including Fred Campbell of Hooké, Ted Logart of Wild Fish, Wild Places, Olivier and Dylan of Group North Shore, and Kate and Scott Sherin. All these wonderful humans share insights into their films, creative process, and stories from along the way. Thanks so much all for coming on, and for making some killer films for the tours this year. It's so special getting to be part of this scene.

We sit down with Swedish angler, conservationist, and filmmaker Emilie Björkman to dive deep into her latest cinematic masterpiece: Wild Fish, Wild Places.

Emilie takes us behind the scenes of this series, sharing the highs and lows of filming in some of the world’s most iconic and fragile fisheries. We also give a massive shout-out to her filmmaking partner, Ted Logardt, the visionary behind the lens who helps bring these poetic, rugged stories to life. Together, Emilie and Ted have created a series that is as much about the culture and responsibility of the sport as it is about the fish themselves.
