Podcast Interview: American Angler's Phil Monahan

September 5, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

Zach Matthews interviews Phil Monahan, editor of American Angler magazine, revealing how fly fishing magazines plan editorial content and presentation and what authors can learn from the process. Phil’s commentary gives plenty of insight into the roles the various fly fishing magazines play in the sport. Included are some amusing anecdotes about Phil’s early days at Outdoor Life — one involving a story on dynamite hunting for beaver — and of guiding in Alaska. The podcast also covers a serendipitous springtime trip to a washed out Amazon tributary for peacock bass.
