Whether we fish for a living or for sport, we all share the same resources and responsibilities. This week, we were invited by the @oceanconservancy to join a west coast delegation of industry, conservation, education, manufacturing and retail stakeholders advocating for sustainable fisheries in American waters and beyond. In a fast-paced and invigorating two days, our friends at the Ocean Conservancy put this team in front of scores of Congressional leaders to offer real world perspective on how @noaa and @noaafisheries enable and empower our passions and professions. From weather forecasts and navigation to environmental monitoring and habitat restoration to fish stock assessments and community services, every American angler benefits from the work of NOAA and NOAA Fisheries. We are proud to lend our voice to the conversation, and in addition to the incredible team at the Ocean Conservancy, we’d like to thank our Congressional leaders in WA and OR, as well as the House Natural Resources and Senate Appropriations Committees that gave us an opportunity to speak with them. And to @native_fish_society, @affta, @wildsteelheadcoalition, @moldychum, @ewaflyshop_seattle and @davemccoyewa, we were honored to work alongside all of you this week. Dream Team stuff. #sageflyfish #perfectingperformance #letitfly // B&W photos by @davemccoyewa
