Bottled Water, McCloud River, Project Tap, Pasadena & Pleasanton Fly Fishing Shows

I don't know if you noticed... but we actually had one or several decent storms in the past week or so. While the needle is still pegged in the red, it was very nice to hear rain on the roof and hear of flakes in the mountains. It was a little bit of good news in these interesting times. Here are a few more little tid-bits I've collected for you:

• There are some really interesting films focusing on water these days. In addition to the two movies about the Klamath (Rivers of Renewal and Upstream Battle), a movie about the murky world of bottled water looks very interesting and is probably an important watch.


• Trout Unlimited’s On the Rise TV show recently aired an episode focused on the McCloud River, a true California gem, and discussed the threats posed by a proposed Nestle water bottling plant


• UNICEF is doing some interesting things around their Tap Project. The YouTube-ized Tap experience is worth a quick watch.


• If you are going to be browsing the booths at either the Fly Fishing Show in Pasadena (February 21-22) or Pleasanton (February 27 – March 1), stop by the Friends of the River Booth
