Episode 3
Fly Fishermen began catching steelhead on flies up and down the Pacific Coast from BC to Northern California in the early 20th Century. As stories of the beauty and power of wild steelhead appeared in print publications, a bevy of steelhead anglers perfected their craft and became the first generation of wild steelhead conservationists.
In this first episode of our series, Fly Fishing Pioneers & Legends of the Northwest Wild Steelhead Coalition Board Chair Ed Sozinho sat down with writer, historian, and former Wild Steelhead Coalition President and trustee Jack Berryman to talk about the history and pioneers of steelhead fishing and the role anglers have played in preserving and restoring wild steelhead along the Pacific Coast.
