The short film “Lifeblood” explores how a group of young anglers is working with the Bureau of Land Management and other partners like Trout Unlimited to restore and revitalize Muddy Creek in Wyoming, which is part of the fragile and elaborate headwaters system that feeds the Colorado River. By creating beaver dam analogs (which will, over time, be adopted and augmented by real beavers), they’re slowing the creek currents, which ultimately leads to a more sustained source of cooler, cleaner water. This literally pumps life back into the river system. The impacts of this work will still be felt when these young anglers’ great grandchildren are fishing the Colorado system. This is one of many examples of how Generation Next is redefining what it means to be a modern day angler. Check out more at www.flylab.fish
