102. Urban carp and minority representation in fly fishing with Nic Hall.
from Dads On The Fly · host Dads On The Fly
Nic Hall is a Marine veteran, Dad, and avid fly-fishing angler in Denver, Colorado. He mainly targets carp in urban environments and trout throughout Colorado. When not fishing, he volunteers with several nonprofits, engaging youth via the Trout Unlimited "Trout in the Classroom" program and teaching fly fishing to underrepresented minorities through fly fishing camps. He also serves as a Board Member of the Denver chapter of Trout Unlimited, where efforts are made to restore and conserve the Denver South Platte River. Nic started fly fishing three years ago when a friend from West Virginia visited him in Colorado. Growing up as an urban kid in Baltimore, fly fishing was one of those things that didn't seem attainable. He didn't see anyone who looked like him fly fishing, so he never tried or was introduced to it until 2020. As he becomes a more proficient angler, part of his goal is to share the experience with kids who look like him, ultimately helping them learn about angling, conservation, and overcoming adversity. He hopes that through his nonprofit volunteer work, he can preach stewardship on the water and get new anglers excited about fishing, protecting public lands, and conserving our waterways. Hence, they are here for the next generation. In this episode, Joshua and Caleb chat with Nic about: -all things carp fishing, especially in an urban environment -minority representation in fly fishing -giving back through fly fishing nonprofits -tips for taking very young children fishing and much more.
