In this episode, Jim sits down with legendary fly fishing guide Alvin Dedeaux—a musician, outdoorsman, and former punk rocker—who’s spent the past two decades leading people into the wild rivers of Texas and beyond.
Alvin talks through life in Austin, Texas and about finding identity and healing in the flow of the water. This isn’t just about fishing—it’s about what it means to be a man, to slow down, and to reconnect with something real.
Whether you’re an angler or just someone searching for direction, this one will hit home.
