Join host Linda Leary as she sits down with Heather Harkavy, a driving force behind Fish for Change, a nonprofit using fly fishing as a doorway into something much bigger for young people.

Heather shares the heart behind the Fish for Change scholarship program, which sends high school and college-aged students on one-week international fly fishing experiences, with 40% of participants joining on need-based scholarships. She and Linda talk about what happens to a teenager when you hand them a fly rod in a place they've never been, and why the ripple effects of that week tend to follow them for life.

The conversation also turns to Joan Wolfe, whose legacy in fishing reminds us that the women who came before us were already casting in waters people said weren't meant for them.

This one is for anyone who believes that a week on the water can change the direction of a young person's life.
