Alex Cady - You can pretty much say that Alex was born with a fishing rod in his hand. He caught his first fish when he was only two years old with his Grandpa Joe. When Alex was six years old he learned how to fly fish the streams and lakes near Mammoth lakes with his father. Any chance Alex got to fish he would take it. He go fishing before school at a local pond for bass or venture offshore to chase tuna and sharks. At the age of 18, he moved to Mammoth Lakes and went to the Clearwater Guide School to chase his dream of being a fishing guide. In 2014, he moved back to Southern California to guide the local inshore and lakes and is now a Sales Rep for Sage, Redington, Grundens, Fishpond, Tibor and Rep Your Water.

For this Episode we had Corrine and Garrison Doctor from Rep Your Water on with us. We talked about a whole lot of rad topics you are gonna enjoy with a couple of fishing stories along the way. 

In this episode of The Sustainable Angler Podcast, I interview Fly Fishing Climate Alliance Members, Corinne & Garrison Doctor from Rep Your Water, Tom Fernandez from Tailwater Lodge, Dave McCoy from Emerald Water Anglers and Kyle Schaefer from Soul Fly Outfitters. In the summer of 2019, I first started pitching the idea of forming a Climate Alliance with the goal of making the fly fishing industry Carbon Neutral by 2030. It seemed daunting, but thankfully, there are enough people in this industry who care and are willing to put themselves out there and make that commitment. I am thrilled to have Rep Your Water, Tailwater Lodge, Emerald Water Anglers and Soul Fly Outfitters on this episode because they were the first to sign up for the Alliance in their respective categories of brands, lodges, shops and guides, and I am stoked to help share their stories! On this episode we discuss why each of them decided to join the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance; how climate change is impacting our fisheries; and how sustainable business practices and going Carbon Neutral is solving the climate crisis so that we can save the planet, the fish, our businesses, and in the process, protect what we love. Thank you to all of the Fly Fishing Climate Alliance Members and don't forget to support these guides, shops, lodges and brands who are actively working to solve the climate crisis!

The Great American Outdoors Act is on the cusp of passage in the U.S. Senate and has been introduced in the U.S. House. Hailed as the biggest conservation bill in a generation, the Great American Outdoors Act will permanently and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and address the maintenance backlog at National Parks and other federal public lands, putting people back to work. Co-hosts Drew YoungeDyke and Aaron Kindle discuss what's in the Great American Outdoors Act, how the Land and Water Conservation Fund has personally affected their lives and probably yours, too, and how you can make a difference right now to help it pass.

On this episode, we're joined by Emily Wood, executive director of the Indiana Wildlife Federation, to talk about her organization and the Recovering America's Wildlife Act. Each state has a federally mandated list of species of greatest conservation need - essentially species at a higher risk of becoming threatened or endangered. Tallied together, this represents about one-third of all wildlife in America. While the Pittman-Robertson Fund and hunter/angler license dollars have done a tremendous job of recovering game species over the last century, many other species are in crisis. The Recovering America's Wildlife Act will provide the funding for states to implement State Wildlife Action plans to recover those species and keep them off the endangered species list. Emily talks about the work of the Indiana Wildlife Federation, how they work with the National Wildlife Federation on priorities like recovering wildlife, and what the Recovering America's Wildlife Act would mean for Indiana. The National Wildlife Federation Outdoors Podcast is supported by Rep Your Water and the intro music has been provided by National Park Radio.  Resources:  Indiana Wildlife Federation: https://www.indianawildlife.org/ Recovering America's Wildlife Act: https://www.nwf.org/Our-Work/Wildlife-Conservation/Policy/Recovering-Americas-Wildlife-Act Rep Your Water (Indiana bass hat): https://www.repyourwater.com/collections/indiana/products/indiana-bass-hat National Park Radio: https://www.nationalparkradio.com/

After a hiatus while our host was on paternity leave, the National Wildlife Federation Outdoors Podcast is back for 2020 with new guests and new intro music from our friends at National Park Radio. In this episode, we talk with Cindy Stites, an avid hunter and conservation volunteer from Indiana. Cindy's story about getting into hunting as an adult is one that you have to hear, and the volunteerism it inspired in her is something we should all try to emulate. She is a hunter safety and youth shooting sports instructor, a board member of the International Caribou Foundation, a regional committee member for 2% for Conservation, an ambassador for Hunt To Eat, and was a founding board member of the Indiana Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers. She tells us how she got into hunting and volunteering for conservation, the lessons she's learned about avoiding burnout, the challenges of recruitment, retention, and reactivation of hunters, the plight of North American caribou, her participation at the National Wildlife Federation's upcoming Women in Conservation Leadership Summit, and squirrel hunting with her dad.

For decades, Asian carp have been moving north toward the Great Lakes, threatening its $7 billion sport-fishery as they undermine fisheries throughout the Mississippi River basin. For much of that time, Marc Smith of the National Wildlife Federation has been a leader in advocating for solutions to stop Asian carp. On this episode of the NWF Outdoors Podcast, Marc and host Drew YoungeDyke discuss the history of the effort to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes and the current status of the Army Corps of Engineers plan to block them by rebuilding a lock and dam south of Chicago. The National Wildlife Federation Outdoors Podcast is supported by a conservation partnership with Rep Your Water, which supports the National Wildlife Federation Great Lakes Regional Center's work to stop Asian carp.  Links:  www.greatlakesconservation.com https://www.repyourwater.com/pages/great-lakes-reg https://blog.nwf.org/tags/asian-carp/ 

On today’s episode, we’ll talk with Jason Dinsmore, interim executive director of the Minnesota Conservation Federation about public lands, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, why you should switch to lead-free ammo for hunting, and what’s going on with the Boundary Waters. We recorded this last month before the old Congress departed without renewing the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the new one inherited a shutdown government. The LWCF still needs to be renewed, though, so our call for Congress to renew it in this episode is as urgent as the day we originally recorded it. Also, I’ve since learned that the Minnesota Conservation Federation in co-hosting a Rally for Public Lands on February 7th at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Cody Kamrowski and Marco Marchetti are just 24 and have already been elected to the Board of Directors for the National Wildlife Federation and the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, respectively. They are also both graduates of the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation's Conservation Leadership Corps, which is doing what few conservation organizations have been able to do recently: recruit young conservationists. Cody and Marco sat down with us at the National Wildlife Federation's Annual Meeting this summer to talk about the program, how they were introduced to the outdoors, how the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation is addressing wetland loss and chronic wasting disease, and the existential debate about the comparative greatness between Brett Farve and Aaron Rodgers. Conservation Country is presented by the National Wildlife Federation with support from Rep Your Water.  Additional Links:  www.wiwf.org www.nwf.org/greatlakes www.lwcfcoalition.com
