The Craighead Legacy
A brief look at the engineers behind probably one of the biggest land preserving legislative bills ever passed, the Wild and Scenic Bill. And while there has been quite a bit of water covered, clearly there could be more.

Meet Phipps… a fly angler who grew up in Tasmania and to this day loves every inch of the surrounding water in his corner of the world. Should you find yourself in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and visit Tasmania. It is a fantastic place to fly fish.

An Upstream Journey
After four and a half years in Washington DC fighting to protect critical environmental laws and our natural treasures, I have resigned from my job in the U.S. House of Representatives.
I’m stashing my wardrobe of suits and ties in the depths of my closet. I’m trading in fancy cocktails for a whiskey-filled flask, hors d’oeuvres for protein bars, and my Ikea bed for a sleeping bag. I am hitting the road.
For the next six months I will be traversing the United States and Canada – from the salt flats of the Florida Keys to the Kenai Peninsula’s glacial rivers in Alaska – exploring the upstream battle to protect wild fish and their habitat.

It is without question, no matter where you live, that if you recently ate sockeye salmon in one form or another that fish came from Bristol Bay. If by some stretch you intend to ever enjoy sockeye again then the Bristol Bay and Pebble Mine issue is something you should be very concerned about and engaged in.
Approximately 80% of Bristol Bay residents, as well as national commercial and sport fishing industries, oppose development of the proposed Pebble Mine because of the catastrophic risks it poses to their rich salmon-based economy, culture, and spirit.
Let the EPA know that you support their Bristol Bay [Alaska] Watershed Assessment Plan, which finds that large-scale, open-pit mining development—such as that proposed by the Pebble Mine—will be a disaster of unprecedented proportions to the region’s salmon-based ecosystem and the vibrant, sustainable industries that depend on it today. This is a crucial time in the effort to stop the Pebble Mine. It’s the BEST shot we’ve got. Your voice will be heard and will help give the EPA and President Obama the courage they need to stop the mine before it gets started under the authority of the Clean Water Act. Public comments open through May 31, 2013.
Take Action here: Save Bristol Bay
Thanks to so many for so much support on this project, including Patagonia. Unlike the Pebble Mine, Patagonia is, as always, in the right place at the right time.

Funny how some destinations can go in and out of popularity. While Christmas Island has always been a pioneering location for the warm water world, it has really come on as of late as the “it” place to be heading these days. Enjoy this little clip and get there soon if you can.
