On this week's episode of the Fly Fish Forever podcast, we meet with Kate Fritz, the CEO of the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay. Kate has spent most of her life living, working and recreating across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and took up the sport of fly-fishing a little over a year ago. We'll get a chance to learn about the work that the Alliance is doing with farmers in rural Pennsylvania, and municipal governments in major cities, to improve water quality, and by extension, fishing opportunities across the region. We'll also talk about the importance of public lands and public access across the many types of habitats and fisheries of the watershed.
