About this listen

Our destination today isn't a river — it's the very ground beneath our wading boots. Across the West, efforts have resurfaced to sell off or weaken protections for our public lands — the same lands that hold America's greatest trout streams and wild places.

Joining me is Chris Wood, President and CEO of Trout Unlimited. Today, we talk about the fight to protect our public lands — what's at stake for anglers, and why these battles keep coming back like cicadas emerging from the ground, and what you can do about it.

Stick around for the end for some fun as Chris shares stories from his coaching days. With host Steve Haigh
