“I care too much about these places to just pay the 30 bucks and call it good… If we want these places to be around for our kids’ kids, we got to do a hell of a lot more than we’re currently doing.”
– Andrew Todd
This week, Ed and Reid sit down with Andrew Todd, executive director of Running Rivers and creator of the Flyathlon event series. They delve into Todd’s innovative approach to fish conservation through the Flyathlon—a unique blend of trail running, fly fishing, and craft beer. The hosts are eager to participate in this exciting event!
Todd offers valuable insights on native trout preservation, emphasizes the crucial role of community in conservation efforts, and shares his journey from federal scientist to nonprofit founder. The conversation spans a range of topics, from the impacts of climate change on fish populations to the importance of authenticity in pursuing one’s passions. We even get a little insight to Todd’s fishing origin story being based on a lie.
Make sure to check out the organization, Running Rivers, and sign up for your local Flyathlon. Maybe even create your own!
