Your Guide Chris Campo<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Chris Campo grew up in the Washington, DC area and has been fishing the Potomac River extensively for over a decade. He is a light tackle, multi-species angler, targeting a wide variety of resident and anadromous species across the seasons. As a lifelong angler and outdoorsman, he is passionate about growing the sport of fishing through memorable river fishing experiences, with a focus on family, youth, and beginner anglers. He lives for the \u201ca-ha\u201d moment when an angler finally \u201cgets it\u201d.<\/p>

Chris holds an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, where he fished on the club bass fishing team and unofficially minored in fishing the Falls of the James River. He has worked for Fish and Explore, Fletcher\u2019s Boathouse\/GSI, and most recently, in the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the District of Columbia Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE), where he was an educational biologist specializing in K-12 aquatic resource education.<\/p>

In his time in District government, Chris oversaw the donation of a fully stocked, custom-wrapped Mobile First Catch Center trailer from the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation, resurrected DOEE\u2019s Recreational Angling Records Program, led numerous free, public-facing fishing events along the tidal Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, and forged lasting new relationships with multiple National Park Service units, non-profits, and the Metropolitan Police Department, resulting in a number of first-of-their-kind youth fishing events in the Nation\u2019s Capital. In that time, he also supported Anacostia Riverkeeper\u2019s Friday Night Fishing series, serving as a volunteer fishing instructor across the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He has worked with thousands of youth and beginner anglers. Chris is currently active with Friends of Fletcher\u2019s Cove, supporting their youth engagement initiatives. In his free time, Chris enjoys foraging, hiking, and spending time on the river with friends and family.<\/p>
