## Resource

Duck camps, giant striped bass, and fading hunting traditions collide in this unforgettable outdoor storytelling conversation. The latest edition of the Field & Stream Journal centers on one theme that every hunter and angler understands instinctively: tradition. Host Colin Kearns sits down with editors Dave Hurteau and Ryan Chelius to unpack the stories behind the new issue, from vanishing duck camps and Adirondack deer traditions to nighttime trout fishing with mouse flies on the Upper Delaware. The conversation dives deep into waterfowl hunting culture, fly fishing history, turkey hunting, striped bass surfcasting, and the traditions that keep hunters and anglers connected across generations. Listeners will hear the backstory behind standout features like “The Schoolhouse Boys,” a legendary Michigan deer camp story by Bill Heavey, and “A Bit of Heaven,” Ryan Chelius’s look inside Long Island’s disappearing bay house duck camps. Later in the episode, master plug builder Gary Soldati explains how he crafts some of the most sought-after striped bass lures on the East Coast, including giant surf plugs designed for trophy stripers in rough water. From surfcasting tactics and plug design to the obsession behind chasing 50-pound bass, this conversation captures the craftsmanship and culture surrounding saltwater fishing traditions. If you care about hunting camps, trout fishing, duck hunting stories, or the future of outdoor traditions, this one belongs around the campfire.
