fishing controversy

Eeland Stribling is an avid angler, conservationist, and stand-up comedian based in Colorado. As a biologist, he works to promote environmental stewardship and inspire the next generation to explore and protect nature. In this episode of Anchored, we discuss his inspiring story and roll up our sleeves to discuss the controversy of the Drake, Nocta and Nike fly fishing campaign.
In this episode of Into the Backing, we tackle a complex and polarizing issue: native fish vs. introduced fish. That phrase has always sounded odd to me, so I figured there must be more to the controversy. We sit down with Bob Mallard from the Native Fish Coalition, writer Kirk Deeter, fluvial geomorphologist Dr. Doug Thompson, and journalist Tom Bie to explore why this divide exists.
