But the thing about the desert that stands out the most to this Florida kid, there were no fish at all. Not one!
We are a family business selling coffee and gear as great as the great outdoors. We are avid fly fisherman and proud to support TU in hopes that our children and generations to come will have the opportunity to fish and enjoy the scenic waterways of our continent.
At times, TU staff can get pretty high tech. We create detailed maps to show data and describe the breadth of TU’s work. We fly drones to map out rivers and diversions or barriers not functioning properly. We use satellites and planes to work more effectively and efficiently.
