RIP Paul Roos - Montana conservationist and outfitter

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

'His legacy for conservation is the Blackfoot River': Paul Roos, Montana conservationist and outfitter, dies at 78

"A longtime outfitter and figure in the Blackfoot Valley’s conservation community, Paul Roos died last week at the age of 78 after battling cancer. During his life he became an enthusiastic advocate for clean water and conservation ethics, helping spearhead multiple organizations and causes to restore and protect the Blackfoot River. But while he promoted the importance of conservation to many, he was also a firm believer in brokering dialogue between opposing views.

Paul Roos, who will be inducted into the Montana Outdoor Hall of Fame this year, was known throughout the state for his work on the Blackfoot River both as outfitter and advocate. His projects ranged from on-the-ground work to remove old dams or replace culverts to major battles over proposed mines and mining practices."
