Science! Fish! Irrigation! with the Henrys Fork Foundation

If you aren't a fly fishing sicko, you might not be familiar with the Henry's Fork in eastern Idaho. This place is a trout's dream, with an incredible amount of insect and aquatic life that gets these fish to grow big, and get very, very picky. The Henry's Fork sits in some of the most productive irrigated agricultural land in the American West (Idaho potatoes are famous for a reason!) And there is certainly tension between these two main economic drivers of the American West: recreation and agriculture. That's where the Henry's Fork Foundation comes into play. In today's episode, we talked with three HFF science team members about how science, landowners, and conservation can work together. Thanks to Rob Van Kirk, HFF's science and technology program director, Jack McLaren, aquatic ecology program manager, and Christina Morrissett, climate adaptation program manager, for joining us!
