Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this special edition of The American Carper we look at the incredible work that is being done in the Denver South Platte River from Denver Trout Unlimited - A 503c Charity that hosts the annual 'Carp Slam' fly tournament...For the last 14 years this PRO - AM tournament has attracted Carp Anglers from across the nation and has shined a spotlight on our beloved species by educating others and raising funds for the rehabilitation of the fishes environment for future generations of Carp Anglers. We discuss the incredible fishery that resides in the center of the City and what steps are being taken to continue the legacy. We also discuss how you, the US Carp Angler, can get involved personally to make a difference and join us at The American Carp Society in helping the cause.
