Western Native Trout in Western Public Waters
Daniel Ritz
Daniel Ritz takes us on a journey around the West, sharing his experience completing the Western Native Trout Challenge over the summer of 2021. Over the course of his trip, Ritz completed a 40-part series for Trout Unlimited's digital magazine sharing his experience pursuing each of the 20 available native species of the Western 12 states over a 6-month period. In this presentation for Boise Valley Fly Fishers, Ritz will focus on the existential and ecological value of native species - specifically Idaho’s native trout and char - as well as the portal to conservation that “slam” concepts, such as the Western Native Trout Challenge and others can hold for anglers.
