Moore was involved in planning the tournament, including specific considerations to allow for a sustained and healthy fishery in the waters where anglers can harvest fish during the event.

Moore spoke with WTIP’s Joe Friedrichs about the tournament and some of the fisheries and biological considerations that were made in the planning process. Audio below.
