This week on Voices of Taos, reporter Stephanie Gates sits down for a conversation with Nick Streit, owner of Taos Fly Shop and executive director of Friends of the Rio Grande.

Nick and Stephanie talk about how this year’s warm, dry winter has affected fly fishing in the region and what further changes in the climate could mean for fishing and river health going forward. They also discuss how the potential for forest closures and wildfires could affect fishing in the region.

Nick also talks about his work with Friends of the Rio Grande, a nonprofit that works on the preservation and stewardship of the Upper Rio Grande Valley. He and Stephanie talk about a virtual fencing project being done with Alianza Agri-Cultura de Taos that uses electronic collars to train cattle to avoid ecologically sensitive areas to help protect riparian and watershed health.
