Listen to “Flyathlon” Dirtbag Diaries Podcast Episode”

The Dirtbag Diaries / 15 juin 2018 / Community, Culture

There are a lot of serious problems in this world, but the solutions don’t always have to be serious. Fly fisherman and trail runner Andrew Todd channeled his concern for Colorado’s native trout and the watersheds that support them into the creation of a joyful, irreverent event: The Flyathlon.

The rules:

Run 10-miles
Catch a fish
Don’t be a jack-donkey
No fish in your Camelbak that you brought from somewhere else.

Today, we join producer Cordelia Zars—and a group of Flyathletes—on Gunnison, Colorado’s Lake Fork River.

The Dirtbag Diaries

The campfire tale—it’s ubiquitous in mountain culture. As long as we’ve climbed, skied, boated or traveled, we’ve been telling stories. In March of 2007, Fitz Cahall launched The Dirtbag Diaries, a grassroots podcast dedicated to the sometimes serious, often humorous stories from wild places. What began as a solitary experiment has evolved into a collaboration between writers, photographers, artists and listeners to produce the types of stories that rarely find homes in the glossy pages of magazines.
