“A Pacific Northwest without wild salmon might as well be Crawford, Texas. So on September 25th we're going to preserve the Northwest's Northwest and keep Crawford in Crawford. How? A salmon Indian and national treasure (Sherman Alexie), a living bard and national treasure (Jeffrey Foucault), and a fly fishing reprobate (me) are going to sing the praises of salmon and their creeks, rivers, and seas in honor of a young man and a school (Liam Wood and the Liam Wood Fly Fishers and River Guardians) who share our love for the same. As for the program, Sherman and Jeffrey and me are gonna dig a redd. We're gonna get folks in touch with their Inner Alevin. We're gonna prove the existence of ocean gods. We're gonna start a may fly hatch and cast Crippled Emergers. We're gonna troll hootchies. We're gonna draw conclusions about the resemblance between Humanity and Salmonity. We're gonna cast the damn line clear off the reel. We're gonna catch something. I hope everybody can come catch it with us.”
