The outdoors show that’s not afraid to say what we’re all thinking. Tackling all things outdoors, from hunting and fishing to backpacking and kayaking, Spencer Durrant: Unhooked is fueled by the belief that nature is a vital, finite resource that’s in need of loud, vocal supporters who aren’t afraid to stand up to the wannabe environmentalists, the Instagram influencers, the energy and development industry, or anyone else who looks to profit off wilderness while ignoring our inherent duty as stewards of this great land. So lace up your grown-up boots, because things are about to get real.
For the debut episode of Spencer Durrant: Unhooked, hosts Spencer Durrant and Lander Crook sit down with the legendary artist Ad Maddox. They chat about everything from how Ad got her start in painting, to trout fishing, to sky-diving, riding motorcycles, and bungee jumping.

In this episode, Spencer takes the mic on a solo adventure to explore the issues surrounding current messaging that it’s too warm to fly fish for trout this summer. Spencer challenges the status quo and asks conservation conglomerates to better tailor their messaging to not be one of fear, but of education.
Rounding out the show, Spencer talks about the need for guides to improve their skills and move on from the culture of just catching tons of fish for Instagram. Guides, instead, need to remember that fly fishing isn’t about catching, but the entire experience – especially a guided trip.
