Sascha Clark Danylchuk

A worshiper of sandy toes and mountain air, Sascha has spent most of her life seeking water in one form or another. Her obsession led her to a career centered around the natural world. As a fisheries scientist, Sascha has focused most of her work on recreational angling, specifically the science of catch-and-release. It is the intersection between her work as a scientist and her passion as an angler that led Sascha to Keepemwet Fishing, where she is Co-Executive Director. With a belief that recreational anglers have something to learn from fisheries scientists and that scientists need to make their work accessible to a wider audience, Sascha endeavors to develop a space in which everyone can communicate more directly and in a language that can be understood by all.
