What a great video and project. Very well-produced and interesting. Crazy to think about steelhead being that far south, surviving among all that carpet and concrete. Cheers to Matt for his dedication, and to Malloy and Baffa for producing it. Thanks for posting.

Would love to rip some chromers when visiting mom in SB. Too bad if they did get esatblished it would be an orvis/ hardy yuppy fest. Do they make titan rod racks for ferarri's?

To "The Legend"-
I'm a life time Santa Barbara resident. Rarely see a Ferrari here, don't use Orvis gear, lots of great low key and outdoor people here working on protecting our environment. "rip some chromers"? Sounds like you're elitist yuppy here.

SB's a great place, some metal would be good for those waters. Keep up the good work Matt!
