Episode 2
Can you fish the LA river? UCLA undergrads Sami Ryan, Nico Le and Jae Hun Hwang find out in this episode about LA's storied river. They learn about native and invasive fish and plants, the plight of the steelhead salmon, the good and bad parts of the river, and they ask: what is the ideal LA River like? It's a question much easier to ask than to answer. But they do catch some fish.
