On this week's episode, we have the opportunity to meet Dustin Wichterman and Seth Coffman, two staff members of Trout Unlimited's Home Rivers Initiative. Their work is focused on protecting, reconnecting and restoring Brook Trout habitat throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. But their work doesn't just benefit trout anglers, the downstream effects of their projects benefit anglers at all levels of the watershed. We'll also spend some time talking about the tips and tricks these two fisheries biologists and fly fishing fanatics have to offer those interested in fly fishing for Brook Trout.
