The Angler's Life List & Native Fish Network

This site was created by Anders Halverson as a hub for the growing community of anglers who are focused on catching native fish. The central tenet: that this movement benefits both those with the rod in their hand and those with the hook in their mouth.

Registering allows you to take full advantage of the site. You can start a fish life list, keep a journal of your fishing trips with photos and a personalized map, start discussions in the forum, and comment on other posts.

The Fish Schtick Podcast Episode 35 - Anders Halverson

Anders Halverson joined us on the latest episode of The Fish Schtick. He’s the author of “An Entirely Synthetic Fish: How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World.” Anders is an award-winning journalist with a Ph.D. in ecology from Yale University. With support from the National Science Foundation, he wrote this book as a research associate at the University of Colorado’s Center of the American West.

Here’s what James Prosek had to say about An Entirely Synthetic Fish:

It's a fascinating story of man’s urge to cultivate and disseminate a beautiful coldwater fish—at times to the detriment of native species but also the joy of anglers who would not otherwise have the opportunity to catch a trout. A gripping blend of early American history, discussions on taxonomy, and questions of how best to preserve wildness and the indigenous in a world where the human relationship to Nature is complex and always changing.

A big thanks goes out to Dr. Sam Snyder for getting us connected with Anders.

It was a really interesting show!
