Fishing for the future.

We're an allied group of anglers and industry stakeholders that works to help sportfish populations flourish. Through educational outreach, we're showing how simple making an impact on sportfish populations can be. 

Hey friends! We've been running around like crazy the past few months promoting sustainable sport fishing and have fallen off the Instagram map! We've presented at industry events and fly fishing clubs around the Northwest (and beyond!) and have been published in The Freshwater Trust's magazine Freshwater, Sierra Fisherman magazine, and have an upcoming feature in Tail magazine.  To keep everybody in the loop with regular updates, we're going to revert to the Instagram account that started it all, @echoflyfishing. For those who don't know, FNW was started by ECHO Founders Tim Rajeff and Katherine Hart as a way to give back to the community that has given them so much. Check out @echoflyfishing for future FNW posts!

Angler: Tim Rajeff Shot: @captjoeldickey #echolife #getoutthere King of the Headwaters. The Upper Sandy basin still sees runs of Coho, Chinook and Winter Steelhead, as well as resident critters like this. It's on all of us to treat caught fish with respect. After all, dead fish are no fun to catch. #fishneedwater #sandyriver #oregon #conservation #catchandrelease #flyfishing Our friends at @renoflyshop interviewed ECHO Marketing/Pro Team Manager Tyler Allen about reducing post-catch mortality.
