A Slam That Saves

Deep in the foothills of the Appalachians, there are four species of bass found nowhere else on Earth. The Coosa, Cahaba, Warrior, and Tallapoosa bass are all genetically-distinct, environmentally-imperiled bass in dire need of help. And thankfully, a community has rallied around them with a unique idea.
Instead of gating off the species, why not champion them? Why not create a new grand slam in fly fishing for the sake of a national treasure? Join Matt Lewis and Mary Beth Meeks as they attempt to catch a “Redeye Slam” in one day.

I love this video !! These little Bass are very special and beautiful!!! And it’s something that I and anyone in the state of Alabama can go do!!!! We have some amazing and beautiful wild rivers in Alabama, you just have to get out and explore to find them!!

This is a neat approach to saving a species.
Makes me wonder if the same could be done for the last dwindling populations of native brook trout in Ohio.
