It&#8217;s raising the water temperature and it&#8217;s killing off trout,&#8221; said Brian Sheppard, who is a guide on the historic Beaver Kill River in New York&#8217;s Catskill Mountains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He is part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/flylifemagazine.com\/industry-report-fly-fishing-and-recreation-by-the-numbers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">$750 million U.S. fly fishing industry<\/a>, but he&#8217;s finding it harder to make a living.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the home of American fly fishing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty cool. It&#8217;s hallowed ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While he once took clients out all summer, now the water temperature is frequently over the threshold for good fishing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nowadays we&#8217;re hitting that for two to three months out of the year in the middle of summer,&#8221; Sheppard said. &#8220;You catch one of these fish and it will kill them right away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Nonprofit helps protect the river and fishing tourism<\/h2>\n<p>Jeff Skelding, the executive director of Friends of the Upper Delaware River, said fewer fish to catch can harm the local fishing-tourism economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you go to the museums around here, you&#8217;ll see pictures of people catching hundreds and hundreds of brook trout out of these streams,&#8221; Skelding said. &#8220;That has changed, you&#8217;re not going to do that anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rivers are cooler the faster they flow. Skelding&#8217;s nonprofit works to restore the flow by removing old dams and reinforcing banks to keep them from filling up with sediment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The impacts of climate change, erosion, sedimentation, development threats &#8230; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/americanriver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">problems that these rivers are experiencing<\/a> are not very different than we see in many, many other parts of the country,&#8221; Skelding said.<\/p>\n<p>For Sheppard, it&#8217;s worth protecting as the changing climate changes his industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s actually about introducing people to a way that their life can improve and we try to expose them to the magic of this place so that they&#8217;ll save it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">ClimateWatch: Climate Change News &amp; Features<\/h3>\n<p>                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              More<br \/>\n              <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n              <\/svg><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n<p>                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/climate-change\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--sm\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n            More<br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/david-schechter\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">David  Schechter<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/david-schechter\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"headshot-600-david-schechter.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/fc963f92-6357-4ccd-92ac-f94e282e7c42\/thumbnail\/80x80\/52de6c73d56a9a4fb32339a84bd35896\/headshot-600-david-schechter.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/05\/17\/fc963f92-6357-4ccd-92ac-f94e282e7c42\/thumbnail\/160x160\/16defd75a2ccb9ae81ebec9a94688cef\/headshot-600-david-schechter.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa 2x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">David Schechter is a national environmental correspondent and the host of &#8220;On the Dot with David Schechter,&#8221; a guided journey to explore how we&#8217;re changing the earth and earth is changing us.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/climate-change-threatening-fishing-industry\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans spend almost $100 billion a year on fishing, creating jobs and revenue for communities across the country.
