Author Matt Labash: Oprah "Despoiling Our Fishing Spots"

November 17, 2010 By: Marshall Cutchin

Matt Labash, who took aim at Dick Cheney and others in Fly Fishing with Darth Vader, used his column in The Daily Caller yesterday to paint Oprah’s recent televised trip to the Merced River as an unfortunate event for fly fishing. “The last thing we need, with declining fish populations and already over-pressured streams, is tens of thousands of more galoots following Oprah’s lead, so that they can get all kitted up in their crisp new Lady Orvis-wear, tromping through our best water with the tags still on, and spoiling the fishing for the rest of us.”
