Side Note: Emerger Strategies has started a Fly Fishing Climate Alliance made up of guides, shops, lodges and brands who are making the commitment to go Carbon Neutral by 2030 and I am so grateful that Emerald Water Anglers was one of the first shops to take the pledge and join the Climate Alliance, so thank you Dave!
