In this episode, Michael sits down with Roger Lambert, Mark Latti, and Tenley Skolfield to share the story behind Friends of Fly Rod Crosby and why Cornelia “Fly Rod” Crosby still matters so deeply to Maine’s outdoor heritage. From the new IFW headquarters in Augusta and the planned bronze statue at its entrance, to Fly Rod Crosby’s legacy as a pioneering guide, writer, and promoter of Maine, this conversation explores how one woman helped put the state of Maine on the national tourism map and how today’s guides and conservation leaders are working to honor that legacy for future generations.   Episode Release: 3/10/2026 S4E8: Friends of Fly Rod Crosby, “A Monument to Maine’s Guiding Heritage” www.flylinepodcast.com [https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flylinepodcast.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExaHg5a0w2M1dheWZOeGVKdnNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzUxNDc3MTU2OTIyODA2MQABHqktpy9bBveeFHnNHxNUFvjPycR_-FkJnqYuLDqG9be55GUPaL8ZnVPajbfw_aem_BA8_DPB6W1xBk8dXZnrdSg&h=AT4eOXB7AA0-9ZHDwXBYE6GdMRcrADF_2FcWZMy3V-SyZT94faIQBJZUkF2q4uigbDB-lpdfv7SaGVSHJclwWmb1S1rWRvjnkjErtHY42-NnuvbwOJNIscwhe9fsHEClipYOEsvIwTLMy2AbQ9mOT94X5giPFA&__tn__=-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT6vOWKXHDocBo72r-eRRJlUcT1XIy8N66GzFbkjyn5_y6kqzL4REnuk2hqVGKBQlrfmOdcWJ2RKv4XwSlnb-6w7ZoqTXmoQLA8Tci0a8eNTuKdrbnj0NbuDqAozzwXnuERFPPLlkUksUxyDbA3dE9n8Q3NmaFkpPv4ABRMp-Q]     #FlyLinePodcast [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/flylinepodcast?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #MichaelJones [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/michaeljones?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #FlyFishing [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/flyfishing?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #FlyRodCrosby [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/flyrodcrosby?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #MaineGuides [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/maineguides?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #MaineOutdoors [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/maineoutdoors?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #OutdoorHeritage [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/outdoorheritage?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #MaineIFW [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/maineifw?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #Rangeley [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/rangeley?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #Conservation [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/conservation?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R] #FriendsOfFlyRod [https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/friendsofflyrod?__eep__=6&__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbyrkbnTpIgadLLdn8BERCcgYh_Xvk0L-T_3UrMOCYKsFS3hPN_KOLHQa966EK7EH_UJPGKwsyy2IkeAVpr_jG3zTzaXdNNjXKxNHQuP1c9kBRdZx5GwtnWQko89n0Q1W4Ze0z0SiLCh5sRKZNM0z6Y&__tn__=*NK-R]
