But it isnt all bleak. When it comes to fishing the other part of the story is a cadre of anglers is looking to right past wrongs to return native species to remove dams to appreciate the unappreciated fish to clean our waters and protect public lands.As an angler and conservationist Matt removes any and all preconceived notions about what it means to fish in the 21st century in order to see the different visions of the future that exist right here right now.Fishing Through the Apocalypse offers one of the widest-ranging looks at fish conservation in the United States and also includes some of the more unusual adventures ever featured in a fishing book.Features fishing adventures IdahoColoradoWyomingNew MexicoUtahTexasFloridaIowaMinnesotaIllinoisWashington DCVirginiaPennsylvania
