Stop Eating Wild Steelhead: Vail Colorado

by joey on Jan.05, 2012, under Fly Fishing

I went fishing with a friend of mine, magnum, yesterday who works at a nice establishment in Vail, Colorado called Block 16. I told magnum I wouldn’t put this on my blog since this is how a brotha makes a buck when he is not rowing a boat. But, since LLM only had a couple thousand unique visitors last year, I am sure this shouldn’t effect his nightly jingle. Especially since Mexico City was not a hot spot on my google analytics. Anyway…. As we were driving over the pass he said “oh this will piss ya off. The chef at our restaurant is has wild steelhead on the menu.” I looked over at him and said “well tell him to take it off them off the menu and also tell him that these fish are almost endangered.” Well obviously being a fisherman and understanding the problems wild steelhead are facing magnum had already told his chef to get that shit off the menu. Magnum has also been telling people in fur coats and diamonds not to order Wild Steelhead. Not easy to do when you know that texan with the ten gallon hat and a plastic wife is going to tip you large. According to our conversation yesterday the chef is going to sell what he has left and take Steelhead off the menu. I hope. If not magnum is going to knock that mutha out. Kind like what happened to this rangers fan after the winter classic… Danny Briere sucks For missing that penalty shot.

    Joey,

    Though you don’t post my replies to your site, this is a great post. Generally people just want to get their’s and don’t worry about environmental concerns. Case in point, sushi eaters. So many people including staunch enironmentalist eat sushi but never think about the intense invironmental disaster that they are creating. Depletion of ocean species has put so many species on the endangered list. This has spurred the proliferation of “ocean Fish farms” numbering currently in the millions throughout the world. This is akin to putting huge livestock holding pens in the ocean. Has anyone been close to livestock preslaughter pens in the summer. The disease and urine pollutants are huge. This is what is happening in the ocean just to solve the sushi lovers appetite. You can’t be a hypocrit in life and care about just little snippets. This is the problem with our society. Funny that, for example, that all of the tree huggers in boulder care so much about the environment, but ignore how eating sushi is damaging the oceans at an incredible rate. Just sayin’.
