Fly Fishing Arizona & Greenfish…

After writing a piece on fly fishing Arizona and the sustainability of wild trout populations, I was surprised by the great response that the article received. “Kudos” and “right ons” filled my email and comment box and I was glad to put into words how many people feel about wild fisheries. I appreciate the support and hope that with more people writing and talking about sustainability, we can continue to see these unique streams and creeks protected for years to come.

The original catalyst for writing this article was a prompt through the Outdoor Blogger Network by Greenfish. Greenfish is a

“lifestyle brand established with the sole purpose of spreading the message of sustainable fishing. We are a group of avid anglers dedicated to promoting “catch and release” fishing.”

The writing prompt was the perfect jumpstart to get me writing about something that was near and dear to my heart here in the desert. I submitted my article/post and amazingly my blog was chosen (at random, not due to writing quality…) and Greenfish sent me some of their product line to sport around Arizona.

If you get the chance to check out Greenfish’s website, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. In a time in our country when money is tight and resources like our streams are in danger, I believe more discussion and awareness is imperative if we hope to keep our valued fisheries. Thanks again to Greenfish and definitely stop over and check them out.

On a side note: As soon as I pulled the sweatshirt out of the box, my wife’s eyes grew big and I could already see her positioning herself to steal this comfy sweatshirt, like so many others that she already has. Snuggling up to watch a movie last night in the new Greenfish hoodie, my wife gives it her approval. I am plotting to steal back my sweatshirt, so I can go fish up north soon.
