Kirk Wallace Johnson, author of The Feather Thief, joins us to share the wild tale of a world-class fly tyer who broke into a British museum and stole nearly 300 rare bird specimens—all to tie classic salmon flies. We explore the strange subculture behind the heist, the science lost with those birds, and how a flute-playing prodigy nearly got away with it. This conversation digs into conservation, obsession, and the ethical line between passion and crime.
