National TU Directive Raising Hackles

"They aren't going to tell us how to run our trout program."

There is turmoil brewing within Trout Unlimited and it has members of the West Virginia chapters fuming.   Recently, the National Leadership Council of T-U issued a directive to all council chairs and chapter presidents.  You can read it HERE.

The directive tells rank and file members of Trout Unlimited to refrain from participating in any activities to stock hatchery raised trout into native trout streams.

TU sponsors 2012 Fly Fishing Film Tour

Trout Unlimited announced today that it will sponsor the 2012 edition of the Fly Fishing Film Tour.

“This is a good partnership,” said Chris Keig of the Fly Fishing Film Tour. “We believe that our audience truly believes in conservation and this partnership will allow them to get out and help save and protect their home waters through their local TU chapters and conservation groups.  If we can help deliver TU’s message to our audience of filmgoers, we’ll not only help TU, but we’ll help fly fishing in general.”
