Shownotes

Take a step back in time and imagine the possibility of casting a bird or rabbit into the Ovaltine-colored water of the Colorado River and reeling in a six foot long toothless, predatory fish with Mick Jagger lips: the now-Endangered Colorado Pikeminnow. We walk through history and into the present day challenges facing recovery of North America's largest Cyprinid with guests Eliza Gilbert and Dale Ryden from our New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office and Grand Junction Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office.
