In this episode of The Sustainable Angler Podcast, I interview Fly Fishing Climate Alliance Members, Corinne & Garrison Doctor from Rep Your Water, Tom Fernandez from Tailwater Lodge, Dave McCoy from Emerald Water Anglers and Kyle Schaefer from Soul Fly Outfitters.In the summer of 2019, I first started pitching the idea of forming a Climate Alliance with the goal of making the fly fishing industry Carbon Neutral by 2030. It seemed daunting, but thankfully, there are enough people in this industry who care and are willing to put themselves out there and make that commitment. I am thrilled to have Rep Your Water, Tailwater Lodge, Emerald Water Anglers and Soul Fly Outfitters on this episode because they were the first to sign up for the Alliance in their respective categories of brands, lodges, shops and guides, and I am stoked to help share their stories! On this episode we discuss why each of them decided to join the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance; how climate change is impacting our fisheries; and how sustainable business practices and going Carbon Neutral is solving the climate crisis so that we can save the planet, the fish, our businesses, and in the process, protect what we love.Thank you to all of the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance Members and don't forget to support these guides, shops, lodges and brands who are actively working to solve the climate crisis!
