In this episode of Nature Bound, host Emanuel Rose steps away from the screens and into the wild waters of the Middle Fork of the Feather River with veteran fly-fishing guide Jay Clark.

Together, they explore how time outdoors strengthens mental health, sharpens leadership, fuels creativity, and reminds us that the full experience—wildlife, water, and presence—is just as important as the catch.

With a background in environmental studies from Feather River College, Jay combines deep ecological knowledge with hands-on river expertise.
