Where: Bayou Fountain Boat Launch (14024 Highland Rd, Baton Rouge)
Join RSFF Conservation Chair, Robinson Almeida, and the rest of the RSFF gang for a morning of fly fishing and waterway clean up at the Bayou Fountain boat launch near BREC’s Highland Park.
This is a kayak-friendly outing, but there are plenty of angling opportunities for shorebound fly fishers as well.
"Our love of fly fishing is not just about uncovering amazing locations; it’s also about taking responsibility for our environment. As our consumption increase so does the litter that finds its way onto our streets, into our infrastructure, ending in our waterways. RSFF is committed to educating and advocating for responsible practices to keep all of our favorite spots pristine.” -Conservation Chair, Robinson Almeida
