The Sidechannels Podcast: S1E1 - David James Duncan
David James Duncan is one of those people who need no introduction, but we've got one anyway.
Duncan’s first novel, The River Why, was published by the Sierra Club in 1983, becoming a cult classic within the flyfishing world and beyond. Nearly 10 years would pass before the publication of his second novel, The Brothers K, and more than 30 would elapse until the publication of his third and most recent novel, the epic Sun House published by Little, Brown in 2023.
In between novels, Duncan published four books of essays and stories; he had a part in the making of films like "Damnation" and "Trout Grass;" and, through it all, he’s fought passionately for the environment and against unfettered extraction and bankrupt spirituality.
Duncan was kind enough to invite Jason and Copi to his home outside Missoula this spring where they sat in his living room amidst the curios of a literary life, stacks of books, and complete and not-so-complete manuscripts waiting to see the light of day. We talked about flyfishing, of course, but we also talked about spiritual integrity, writing, coming of age and the work still in store for him. At 72, the guy has no plans to slow down, and the literary community is fortunate for that.

    Rivers are not dying of poor management. Everything on this planet is dying because of who we are, and how we go about our life's. Sure them Skagit anglers mostly driving huge trucks, wearing gear which when you launder deposits plastic particles in all of us.. including steelhead. You get the picture. It's an illusion to believe you can manage an environment while abusive care takes( all of us) are rampant. Putting a hook into another beings mouth to enjoy the fight is one of the most abusive undertakings imaginable. I used to flyfish for sea run cutthroats from the beach with a fly rig and made a killing. And then one day after I hooked a fish I saw this other trout follow my catch to the beach, acting all concerned about her struggling family member. And something stated to shift in me and I gave it all up. You can't call yourself a conservationist and pretend hooking fish in the mouth for sport is tolerable. You really want to make a difference? Leave them fish alone😮

    Have you ever thought about the negative impact that is guaranteed to happen by xploiting this hyper-fragile ecosystem that has remained as it should because of its geographic intensity and difficulty.....basically to the world....and as i presumed...you guys are finding garbage and the like already in a place ive almost never have seen traces of human impact😢....thanx for not disclosing the names of lakes at least....maybe just say the high sierrA and give the east side a few more years before it becomes overfished and trampled by certain cultures that will endanger and destroy any fish habitat they're given access to.....in a matter months

    I love fly fishing but my favorite parts of these patagonia fly fishing programs is where the fisherman start to cope with the fact that spey fishing produces very few fish😂. "Trying to catch a bunch of fish is backwards"😂. Happens in every one of these! Again I love fly fishing but I am not going to call conventional fisherman backwards because they dont want to swing around a $4,000 stick in the cold all day and maybe catch a single fish. Thats probably a good thing though becuase steelhead are more likely to die if they are caught on fly gear due to exhaustion anyways. I wish them luck though, but if you are going to fish with a method that is more likely to kill your catch, maybe you should be more supportive of broodstock programs to help put more fish in the river so you arent killing any of the few remaining wild fish as often. Cheers and tight lines!

    From the UK -what lovely footage-and what a river; that said, I think we -as the fishers and the people who care most about 'our' rivers'-are too quick to accept blame for reduced numbers; in the UK a madness -like the preservation by law of seals in every worthwhile salmon river estuary-prevails. We need to organise and say-'No-I wont spend money on your permits until you get a grip'. Otherwise-well, casting is quite fun.
