DOLLYSQUATCH 2.0: Flyfishing for Dolly Varden and searching for Sasquatch

A two-wheeled hunt for Dolly Varden and Sasquatch with Bridget Moran and Copi Vojta.
In the summer of 2021, we embarked on a search into Washington state’s North Cascades to shadow North Sound Trout Unlimited (www.northsound... ) chapter president Bridget Moran as she continued the chapter's Environmental DNA (eDNA) project. Through genetic testing of water samples, it is possible to determine what species of fish are present in a watershed without catching or seeing them. We also looked deep and wide for traces of Sasquatch.
In summer 2022 we returned, this time swapping four wheels for two. We arrived on dirt roads through low clouds, light rain, and just enough fog to wonder about the weather ahead, which added a misty mood to an otherwise typical Pacific Northwest summer.

Dollys are amazing, the Cascades are home, and the opportunity to protect home and keep these spaces wild through our stewardship is crucial.

One day Sasquatch will be found.
