What does the future hold for fish and the people who pursue them?
Fishing Through the Apocalypse explores that question through a
series of fishing stories about the reality of the sport in the
21st century. Matthew Miller (director of science communications
for The Nature Conservancy) explores fishing that might be
considered dystopian: joining anglers as they stick their lines
into trash-filled urban canals, or visiting farm ponds where you
can catch giant, endangered fish for a fee. But it isn't all bleak.
When it comes to fishing, the other part of the story is this: a
cadre of anglers is looking to right past wrongs, to return native
species, to remove dams, to appreciate the unappreciated fish, to
clean our waters and protect public lands. As an angler and
conservationist, Matt removes any and all preconceived notions
about what it means to fish in the 21st century in order to see the
different visions of the future that exist right here, right now.
Fishing Through the Apocalypse offers one of the widest-ranging
looks at fish conservation in the United States, and also includes
some of the more unusual adventures ever featured in a fishing
book. Features fishing adventures in: Idaho Colorado Wyoming New
Mexico Utah Texas Florida Iowa Minnesota Illinois Washington DC
Virginia Pennsylvania
