Welcome to our FN Holiday News Spectacular! This week we take a look at some of the top stories in FN News with special guests from listeners to other podcasters! Happy New Year! #varmints #casualbirder #speakupforblue 

#FNThrowback 23 we take a walk back to Christmas 2013 and revisit one of our super fun vintage shows. We talk about Public Radio, dog cigars native american fishing and much more.

We are taking a couple weeks off so Clay can act in "A Christmas Carol" so here is an Fish Nerds throwback. This is the first time the Nerds chatted with Luke from Chamo's Lures in Australia. Luke makes custom lures that look like duckling and grubs, total art pieces. Enjoy!

We get a visit from Anthony Von Dessauer, host and DM of the Curse of Silverlake Podcast. www.thecurseofsilverlake.com Anthony is a tenth level nerd, you're going to love him. We chat a lot about fishing, RPG neediness and of course we have a famous fish quiz. Hugo Jumps in on the show with a review of the Bosch Heated Jacket. We wrap up with some Fish in the News and get really excited about Sex with Octopodes... Enjoy.
