Looking for some fly fishing related interviews to read at work. The older and more ornery the better!

I am going to second the https://arc.lib.montana.edu/angling-ora ... iewees.php as there are over 350 interviews with some of the most noteworthy fishers of trout in the world - I found it intersetings as they asked the same questions of every one they interviewed.

Not old, but somewhat ornery. Amazing adventures, more than anyone else I can think of, check out my friend Jeff Currier's (ex-manager of Jack Dennis's flyshop) antics.
https://venturingangler.com/2015/03/18/ ... f-currier/
and there's a link to his blog that provides some good reading.
