The
WILD COUNTRY CREW
What
do you get when you combine a confessed river rat, a confirmed salmon
addict, a certified casting instructor/rod geek, a jack-of-all-trades
ringleader and a healthy dose of humor and attitude? The Northwest
Wild Country in-studio crew, that's what.
They're
the voices you hear coming out of your radio every week, and your
official tour guides to the best fishing, hunting and outdoors opportunities
in the wildest of all wild places: the Northwest Wild Country. Think
of our in-studio crew as your gateway to the mainline of outdoors
adrenalin that courses through the rivers, lakes, streams, salt
chuck, marshes, ridges and fields of the Pacific Northwest. With
over 140 years of outdoors experience among them - and a list of
sources a country mile long - they'll either have the answers to
your questions, or, know somebody who does.
Joel
Shangle - Host
The
host and creator of Northwest Wild Country, our ringleader lists
a fishing, hunting and adventure resume that reads like an itinerary
from "The Amazing Race": Dorado and sailfish on Hannibal Bank in
Panama; largemouth bass in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico;
northern pike and lake trout in the McKenzie Range of the Yukon
Territory; Atlantic salmon in the Valley of the Kings in southern
Ireland; bonefish and tarpon out of Key West. The list goes on and
on. more...
Tom
Nelson, co-host
The
definitive "multi-tool player", Tom Nelson's booming baritone is
equally comfortable with phrases ranging from "poikilothermic" to
"cut-plug herring". That's what you expect from a professional salmon
and steelhead guide who just happens to hold a fisheries biology
degree from the University of Washington. You want biological theory?
Talk to Nelly the biologist. You want down-and-dirty fishing technique
advice? Talk to Nelly the outfitter. more...
Bill
Herzog, co-host
One
of the most well-known outdoors writers on the West Coast, Herzog's
sphere of influences runs the gamut from A to Z, and back again.
As a matter of fact, he may be the only man on the planet who can
quote Roderick Haig Brown, Rob Halford and Dick Weber in the same
context. With a vocal grab-bag that ranges from Krusty the Clown
to Joe Pesci to Bullwinkle the Moose, we're never sure which one
of the voices will escape from Zog's head, but we know this: it'll
be funny, it'll be clever, and it'll be interesting. more...
Mike
Perusse, Co-host
The
latest edition to the Wild Country studio team, Mike Perusse hits
the studio with a 20-ounce Rockstar in each hand, headphones in
a Crown Royal bag, and 25 years of on-the-water experience on some
of the most famous salmon and steelhead fisheries in the world.
With a list of fishing buddies and sources that filters through
virtually every fishery from northern California to southeast Alaska,
Mikey P. knows what's happening 24/7 … even before it happens. more...
