One of the many hats I wear is to arrange monthly presentations for Central Oregon Flyfishers. As you would expect, these are mostly talks on fly fishing but a few every year are on environmental issues. Next Wednesday, July 16, we will hear from the Wild Salmon Center. WSC takes a different approach than other environmental groups working to protect fish. Founded in 1992 and run since 1998 by Oregon native and fly fishing fanatic Guido Rahr, WSC works to protect “strongholds,” places still supporting wild anadromous salmonids. There’s a book titled “Stronghold” about Guido that I really enjoyed reading. The staff and board of directors at WSC are truly impressive. It should be a good talk and anyone can attend this meeting which is held at the Bend Elk’s Club and starts at 6 pm.
