Remembering Ehor Boyanowsky, a steelheader with a passion for conservation
Ehor Boyanowsky was a gentleman angler. A “bon vivant.” A criminology professor who loved hunting, English setters, and good scotch. Above all, says Wild Salmon Center founder Pete Soverel, he was a steelheader with a passion for conservation. “Ehor’s legacy was in forging and shaping the direction of Wild Salmon Center,” Soverel says. Boyanowsky, a longtime WSC board member, passed away this fall. Soverel and WSC President & CEO Guido Rahr pay tribute to his legacy.
