Outdoor Canada is pleased to present Blue Fish Radio—podcasts about the future of fish and fishing in Canada. The program, produced and hosted by Lawrence Gunther, is dedicated to sharing first-hand angling knowledge, scientific discoveries and supporting local champions who protect and enhance their waters.

Moby Dick is no match for these colossal conveyers of the sea, which are arriving at port with whales impaled on their bows. But there is hope—listen now to hear about possible solutions.
