Rob first encountered Matthew Lordeau around twenty-five years ago while they both were employed at the Orvis store in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The store was quite lively during that time, and all the staff tried to fish together whenever they could. Rob doesn’t remember going fishing with Matt. Even though they went their separate ways long ago, they have maintained their connection through meetings at The Fly Fishing Show and interactions online through social media. Since their days at Orvis, Matt has tied the knot and is now the father of a lively brood of children, ranging from young nymphs to instars. His experiences in fishing, writing, and travel have motivated Matt to launch his very own podcast, Casting Across. On this podcast, listeners can hear him talk about the individuals, locations, and elements involved in the quest for fish with a focus on the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania. Rob was eager to chat with Matt about his passion for both contemporary and traditional fly fishing literature. This marks Matt’s second time on the show as a podcast host. You can catch him in various episodes from the Somerset and Edison Fly Fishing Shows. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
