Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be on Capitol Hill and make a presentation

in front of our nation's leaders? Have the word pebble mine pass through your brainwaves

a few times or associated projects? And what if someone told you that the governor of Alaska

has not been doing a great job of protecting the fish species up in Alaska.

My guest today is going to take us behind the scenes in the battle of protecting our remaining

stocks of salmon species so you can enjoy your trip even more next time you're up in Alaska.

This is the Wet Fly Swede podcast where I show you the best places that travel to for fly fishing,

how to find the best resources and tools to prepare for that big trip, and what you can do to give back to the fish species we all love. Hey, how's it going? I'm Dave host the Webfly Swing podcast. I've been fly fishing since I was a little kid. I grew up around a little fly shop and have created one of the largest fly fishing podcasts in this country. I've also interviewed more of the

greatest fly anglers and conservation-minded people than just about anyone out there.

Adam Cuthrow, owner of fishhound expeditions and a conservation-minded fanatic is going to take

us into another big topic that's on right now. He was just on Capitol Hill.

We're going to hear the story of what that felt like to him.

Pretty awesome, pretty emotional.

And we're just going to describe what you can do right now to protect the fish species up there and around the country.

Some things you can do to move the needle.

You're going to find out why tourism is the key, how ocean nets are taking salmon as

bycatch, and how McDonald's fits into this crazy discussion.

Plus the four H's.

Do you remember what those are?

The four Hs.

We're going to get into that today as well.

Schools back in session.
