Ep. 195 | Saving Our Forgotten Fish w/ Conservation Fisheries

Think you know all the fish swimming in your local rivers and streams? In our lakes and reservoirs, we target bass and crappie, and in our rivers, we chase trout and catfish. But beneath the surface, a secret world of vibrant, beautiful, and "forgotten fish" is fighting for survival, and their fate is a direct indicator of the health of the waters we all love.

In this episode, we sit down with Bo Baxter, the Senior Conservation Biologist at Conservation Fisheries, Inc. (CFI). Bo is on the front lines of the fight to save North America's most imperiled freshwater fish. We dive deep into a world most anglers have never seen, discussing the incredible species that form the foundation of our aquatic ecosystems.
