The Last Wild River in California, The Smith River, flows un-dammed to the sea through unique habitat of redwoods and other flora and fauna. Conservationists and biologists are interviewed as we raft the rapids and experience massive rain and snow. New wild steelhead enter the river and are hooked on the fly including a giant that exemplifies this great conservation effort by government, the public and the stalwart Smith River Alliance, and fly fishing skill of host Chris Travis and seasoned "wild" guide Jeff Zennie.
The Florida Keys are the southernmost parts of the U.S. and offer unique and essential habitat for migrating tarpon from as far away as South America. We explore the keys and mangroves from the air, land and sea, and this extraordinary migration of this amazing fish. We tag tarpon for DNA studies with conservationists as well as learn about this great game fish under the increasing threat of climate change. Host Chris Travis fly fishes with top guides in the keys also active in conservation for a sustainable local economy. Fishing is far more valuable than all citrus farming in Florida and a key to eco-tourism and a sustainable economy.
The Beeaverhead River flows under Big Sky country out of Clark Canyon Reservoir offering a unique habitat for insects and trout. We wade and float the river with world class guide Tim Tollett and learn about it's historic importance to Lewis and Clark and Native Americans. We interview conservationists and fisheries biologists detailing Montana's no stocking wild trout only philosophy, and how it actually increased the quantity and quality of trout fishing in the state, and how it is a model for the world.
The Skeena is known as The River of Mists. It is one of the most significant rivers in the world flowing through British Columbia from its Sacred Headwaters for over 350 miles to the Pacific Ocean. We float and wade the river with legendary author, conservationist and steelhead fly fisher Lani Waller. We learn about the river and the environmental and economic value of sustaining wild salmon and steelhead runs in one of the most beautiful wild rivers remaining on the planet.
