Badger Fishing Show
Introducing a new voice in Pacific Northwest fishing.
The Badger Fishing Show
Wednesdays at 8 AM
This isn't just another fishing podcast. This is where real conversations happen.
We have a list of guests on deck from every side of the table, including current WDFW employee a retired former WDFW hatchery employee, a retired former WDFW game warden, Johnathan Hillstrand from Deadliest Catch, seal and sea lion experts and advocates, leading members of Puget Sound Anglers, NOAA biologist and voices like Kelsey Ross with Conservation Coalition.
Nothing is off limits.
We're talking fisheries management, hatcheries, harvest, policy, conservation, and everything impacting opportunity in the Pacific Northwest.
No spin. No scripted narratives.
Transparent, open, and accountable conversations, even when they get uncomfortable.
No influence from sponsors, no pressure from agencies, no filtered messaging.
Episodes will be available on Youtube, subscribe now, and on all major podcast platforms.
If you care about fishing, this is where you need to be.
Wednesdays at 8 AM. Be there.
