Severn River Association presents Shawn Kimbro, angler, environmentalist, author, in this installment of the John Wright Speaker Series.
Sometimes the best fishing spots are the ones closest to home. Shawn will explain some of his proven techniques for catching species like perch, pickerel, bluefish, and rockfish in the Severn River. He’ll also provide some advice about how to keep our fisheries healthy so they can be enjoyed by future generations.
