AGENDA:

7:00 PM: Feature Presentation:
Fishing Through the Apocalypse: An Angler's Adventures in the 21st Century Matthew L. Miller What does the future hold for fish and the people who pursue them? Local Boise author Matthew Miller has explored that question through a series of fishing stories about the reality of the sport in the 21st century in his book Fishing Through the Apocolypse. Matthew Miller (director of science communications for The Nature Conservancy) explores fishing that might be considered dystopian: joining anglers as they stick their lines into trash-filled urban canals, or visiting farm ponds where you can catch giant, endangered fish for a fee. But it isn’t all bleak. When it comes to fishing, the other part of the story is this: 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.
