Of Fish and the River: Chris Letts is still teaching the children well.
11/7/2024 MICHAEL BALTER
A Chronicle profile. When the shad ran in the Hudson, Letts was there, fishing and teaching. He's been on the river much of his life.
It’s a little after noon at Croton Point Park, and a big yellow school bus is just pulling into the parking lot. Chris Letts is already down at Mother’s Lap Beach, and he is ready for them. The wind is kicking up, and the mighty Hudson is already getting choppy, but that’s no matter. In a few minutes, about a half dozen second graders from Coman Hills School in Armonk, along with their teachers and a couple of parents, begin marching across the green grass.
Chris has been teaching kids about the Hudson River and the fish that swim in it for more than 40 years. This morning he has two helpers: John Phillips, Croton Point Park’s naturalist, and Julia Snook, curator of the Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers.
