Steve's presentation is: Casting Onward: Fishing Adventures in Search of America's Native Gamefish
An in-depth overview of the book with descriptions of the journeys across America in search of native gamefish in their native watersheds. I will take the participants on my journey and share what I discovered about the state of the nation's watersheds and native fishes. Highlights include trout of the American southwest, desert redbands, Rocky Mountain cutthroats, Guadalupe bass of Texas, and the Potomac River from its clear waters sources where native brook trout thrive to the polluted waters that pass the nation's capital where our national natural heritage is being decided though action and inaction.
Let's make this a great meeting! Come prepared to listen, learn and converse with Steve!
Come for 6:00 to have your dinner downstairs and then bring your pint upstairs for this unique presentation and chance to converse with one of America's leading angling and conservation voices!
