At Emerald Water Anglers (WSB sponsor): ArtiFishal is a film about people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon's slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature. "The road to extinction is paved with good intentions." Immediately following the show, Dylan Tomine, Patagonia Fish Ambassador, Author, and ArtiFishal story writer, will be in house for a Q&A session. Please register for the FREE event HERE.
