I have had the pleasure to meet Chris many times at the CV cleanup events. His savvy, hard work, dedication and enthusiasm have been unparalleled. Let's hope that the Valley has nurtured someone who will be able to fill Chris's big shoes.

Thank you Chris. My hat is off to you.

Thanks for all the hard work you have put into sport fishing and the environment Chris.
Your dedication and admiration is greatly appreciated.
Hopefully this will give you more time to search out them Maple Leaf floats. :)

Much Kudos to you Mr. Gadsen for your hard work and efforts to make the river a better place.  If everyone had the same mentality as you the river would be much more of an amazing place.  Thank you!

All the best to you Chris in the new year and thank you for all of your efforts. To bad there is not more people like you instead of some of the pigs that visit the river. All the best is wished for you.

Last winter was my first season fishing and steelheading...my second time out to the Vedder i parked at the prison run and I'm pretty sure it was Chris who I bumped into as he was coming back to his vehicle with a beauty steelie. We chatted for a few minutes, he showed me what he used and where he caught it. He then asked if I wanted the roe.... With a huge smile I obviously accepted the roe as I had none as I really had just started fishing that season so didn't have any roe..  I went and cured that roe and in turn caught a few steelhead myself and other species that in turn gave me more roe so the cycle started. I'm not out at the Vedder often and never bumped into him again to really thank him and share the story but from the few minutes we spoke you could really get a good feeling for someone's character...
