Dams are indeed a tricky one. They also provide cleaner energy via hydroelectricity over fossil fuels. If you believe climate change is even sorta responsible for cooking our rivers every summer and thus resulting in hoot owl regs, then using cleaner sources of energy may help reduce/delay a climate catastrophe.

Taking the dam issue one step further, in his book Eager Ben Goldfarb talks about what many of our prized trout waters looked pre-settlement thanks to the abundance of beaver dams. We’d all be fishing 2-3ft. Tenkara rods!

SIMN,

We love the idea of fishing Tenkara rods all summer. ~Andrew
