This is a truly fun and informative episode with the downstream project manager working on the Columbia Watershed/Willamette Valley in Oregon, Dillon Alegre. Dillon is a Nevada Native originally hailing from Fallon, Nevada (A hotbed of ridiculously awesome anglers) who has found his calling helping maintain and strengthen the Salmon/Steelhead populations in the Columbia River Area. We discuss what his job entails, what the fishery is looking like now and what they hope it can develop into, fishing for these anadromous beasts, and we tie that into his experiences growing up fishing in the outback of Nevada and the Eastern Sierra Nevada. We get into some chatter on similarities of the Salmon/Steelhead anadromous behavior and how it relates to our hometown giants in Pyramid Lake, Nevada…the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Dillon also leads us on a culinary adventure by describing a unique burrito establishment in Albany, Oregon called Tacos Al Machin that whipping up some super authentic burritos….serious business here folks! Tune in and enjoy!
