Our newest project partner the Santa Barbara Fly Fishers are hosting an unforgettable day celebrating fly fishing, art, conservation, and community at the Lobero Theatre. This all-day event will bring together enthusiasts, business owners, policy makers, experts, and artists to share their passion for fly fishing and raise awareness for the endangered Southern California Steelhead. An esteemed panel will speak about the history of steelhead in our region, what has gone wrong that has put them on the Endangered Species list, and what we must do today to save them from extinction. Panel speakers will come from the Santa Ynez band of Chumash Indians, CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife, Enviro Defense Center, The Cachuma Project, Cal Trout, Koehler Winery, and Santa Barbara ChannelKeeper.
