On this week's episode, we have the chance to sit down with Chris Wood. Chris is the President and CEO of Trout Unlimited, America's leading coldwater conservation organization, based in Washington, DC. However, don't expect to hear too much about Trout or Salmon on this episode. Instead, we're going to explore Chris's (not so) secret obsession with fishing for unexpected species in unexpected places. We'll also talk about the surprising amount of nature, and fishing, one can find in an urbanized environment and why Chris is working to bring the next generation of city youth into angling.
