Episode 469: An Evening with Kenneth Andres of AFFTA
On this episode, I am joined by my friend from the other side of the mountain, Kenneth Andres. Kenneth is the Trade Show Director for IFTD. He shares his fly fishing journey, his thoughts on how trade shows have evolved over the last twenty years and what folks can expect at IFTD in Salt Lake City at the end of March.

I enjoyed working with Eleven Experience in Chile for their angling programs. Rio Palena Lodge is a fantastic lodge with an excellent crew... And, it's always nice to see your work as a print ad and in a catalog.

A few images made it to print in the summer issue of The Drake Magazine. I can still remember the moment when the shutter clicked. As always, a big heartfelt thank you to all those anglers and people involved in the process and to the print magazines that still hold credible journalism in high regard

In case you missed it: our Life History Project is live! Three amazing short films, three WSC staffers, three human life histories that make the salmon conservation movement whole.
From Betsy Krier, who found home deep in the Olympic Peninsula, to Dr. Sam Snyder, a native Texan who's defended Bristol Bay for the past decade, to Mariusz Wroblewski—who had the farthest road to travel—the stories of our Life History Project show us that we all live for the same things.
Watch the series now on our project home page. And check our social platforms for more on the Life History Project, as we expand this initiative to the wider Wild Salmon Center community.

Thank you, IGFA, for naming Wild Salmon Center as this year's recipient of the Barry M. Fitzpatrick Conservation Award!
“We’re honored to receive this recognition from an organization that has been promoting conservation and responsible angling for over 80 years," says WSC President and CEO Guido Rahr. "From the Everglades to Bristol Bay, anglers know the value of truly special watersheds and wild places. It’s our job to band together and stand up to protect these rivers and waterways for the benefit of future generations. Now, we’ll work together to permanently protect Bristol Bay’s watersheds from hard rock mining.” The Drake Magazine Flylords Fly Fisherman
“Rivers are probably more meaningful to me than countries.”
Next up in our Life History Project: meet Mariusz Wroblewski. Mariusz, Wild Salmon Center's Western Pacific program director, took the long road home. Pressured out of Poland as a dissident in the 1980s, Mariusz heard of the great salmon and trout rivers here in North America. He set out for them not knowing exactly what he would find nor how things would turn out. Following the fish would take him around the globe again, before settling in Portland, Oregon. He shares his unique story in our third Life History Project video.

Thought we’d run down some highlights for 2020 for the Driftless Flyathlon, a great year for the organization despite not being able to host our event!
In November, we were honored by the article Pat Burke wrote about our Wade Wisely collaboration with Big Grove Brewery in the The Drake Magazine. Pat is a great friend and a Driftless Flyathlete....and a heck of a writer. Check this one out by picking up a copy...it’s awesome! Thanks again Pat!
Hello, my husband has been trying to contact you to get his subscription sent to our house. He has tried all the email contacts listed on your webpage as well as left several voicemails. How do we reach a real person to discuss this issue?
