The 2019 Carp Slam is in the books. I covered a lot of ground this past Saturday trying to get some shots of this year’s anglers, who were faced with really challenging conditions. . . #flyfishing #colorado #carpslam #DSP #urbanrivers (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2P1F_BBGQB/?igshid=1xy4b8ss6txb5

The idea came from a non-profit organization called Urban Rivers and is in the process of raising funds through crowdfunding. While the NGO awaits the results of the campaign to expand the project, there is a prototype undergoing experimentation on the Chicago River, one of the major US channels located in the urban perimeter.

Did my first volunteer shift as a River Ranger with @urbanriv. They are installing floating beds and planting native gardens to help create habitat and maybe some filtration of the Chicago River. Plastic bottles and styrofoam were my biggest haul over my 2 hours. Other interesting finds: Spray cans, a baseball, toothbrush, an orange, a watermelon, pretty sure I scooped up some of those "chicago whitefish" but there has got to be some kind of prize for a Pineapple! #chicago #chicagoriver #urbanrivers #floatinggardens #restoration #conservation #stewardship #sheddaquirium #rei #wastemanagement #trashyak325 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDd9d0eHfYg/?igshid=1bg0sq95tphha
