213. Karlee Winkelman on Fishing Manitoba, Outdoor Media & Women in the Wild
Description
On this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, host Sheldon Grant welcomes Karlee Winkelman — a lifelong outdoorswoman, skilled angler, and rising voice in the world of outdoor media. Karlee shares the story of growing up surrounded by nature, where hunting, fishing, and spending time outside weren’t just hobbies, but a way of life. From early days on the water to building her own brand behind the camera, Karlee opens up about her journey and the changing face of the outdoor community.
Together, Sheldon and Karlee explore what it means to create authentic content in today’s digital landscape, and how Karlee found her voice as a storyteller in the outdoor space. She talks candidly about the challenges and opportunities of being a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, and the importance of representation in the hunting and fishing world.
The conversation dives into fishing across Manitoba — including the thrill of landing a Master Angler fish — and how both the landscape and outdoor culture have evolved over the years. From technology to social media, and from conservation to community, Karlee offers thoughtful insights on what’s changing, what’s worth preserving, and how new generations are redefining the outdoors.
This is an honest, insightful, and inspiring episode for anyone passionate about fishing, media, and carving out your place in the wild.
