The Life History Project: A Fly Fishing Refugee
“Rivers are probably more meaningful to me than countries.”
Mariusz Wroblewski, Wild Salmon Center's Western Pacific program director, took the long road home.
Pressured out of Poland as a dissident in the 1980s, Mariusz heard of the great salmon and trout rivers here in North America. He set out for them not knowing exactly what he would find nor how things would turn out. Following the fish would take him around the globe again, before settling in Portland, Oregon. His unique life history is the subject of the third story in our Life History Project video series.
Watch "A Fly Fishing Refugee," filmed on the Deschutes River, traditional territory for many Chinookan and Sahaptin speakers, including the Warm Springs and Wasco bands.
