From the dynamic duo Aimee and Chase Bartee, also known as Tight Loops: “Join us for episode 7 of For Wild’s Sake: The Rare Trout Chronicles, season 1! A series which explores human beings relationship to the natural world, in hopes of gaining a better understanding of how and why we assign value to wild things and places.

In a quest to illustrate rare and threatened species of wild native trout in watercolor, artist Chase Bartee and wife Aimee set off on a multi year, cross country adventure of discovery. Spring is knocking on our door, which means dry fly fishing and mountain cutthroat streams are waking up.

We meet ‪@BoundForNowhere‬ (Mak and Owen), ‪@gondirtin‬ (Karissa and Linhbergh), and ‪@holidayatsee3096‬ (Peter and Shruthi) forming a kinship that will stand the test of time. Our quest leads us to Utah in search of the rare and fascinating Bear River Cutthroat Trout. Even more incredible than the fish itself is wild story of how they came to be, and the people fighting to protect them.”
