CalTrout stainless steel water bottle
Yes, the political and environmental climate right now seems like it is working against us and yes, many of our native fish species are in severe danger of going extinct, but I believe the only productive attitude to have is a positive one. We still have all but one native species swimming in our beautiful state’s rivers, streams, and the Pacific ocean. I have met amazing people working day in and day out to protect these fish and I think there are just too many good people out there for us to be stopped; but we need help.
In order to continue the outstanding work that CalTrout and other organizations do, it is critical that young people take an interest in protecting coldwater fisheries. It is important now more than ever that we have smart, passionate people fighting for the California’s fish.
The fly fishing community would be doing itself an enormous favor by introducing more young anglers to the sport, as these young anglers may be the ones that save our fish from extinction. California is lucky to have the diversity of fish species that it has, and it is up to us to keep those species alive and well. So here is my suggestion: Take a kid fishing.
Take your niece or nephew or grandson or granddaughter. If they decide it’s not for them, well at least you got out on the water. If they love it, it just might change their life, and yours too.
