    Default Trout Unlimited

    Is the group Trout Unlimited a pro fishing group or more an environmental activist group?

    Trout Unlimited?

    Isn't that that one place where you can catch all the trout you want since there's no limit and you pay by the pound?

    Yep, I think I went there when I was a kid, Mr. Shadow. LOL

    When you say pro fishing, do you mean professional or in favor of, bmachale? Anyway, that does not affect my answer. I would say yes to all 3. A lot of Trout Unlimited members are probably professional trout fishing guides, like the ones I saw in Rocky Mountain National Park this past July. They want to promote fishing and a good environment, which seems like a worthy cause.

    I did check out their website before I made this post, and did not come away with an solid answer one way or another.

    I know how environmentalists confuse the issue with clean water statements, protecting salmon and steelhead and conserving wild stocks. Everyone loves clean water. It is how you go about doing it that matters to me. I love protecting salmon and steelhead and want them to thrive. That does not mean I like placing them on a no fish status and blowing up every dam in Northern California. And I do not wild stocks of trout off limits to fishing either.

    So I will rephrase my question. As a avid fisherman who wants to be able to continue to fish, do I want to join this group and give them my money?

    I am in favor of all the things they are. Protecting wild fish and clean water go together. Can't have one without the other. (just in WA and 1/2 the Coho are dying as they return to spawn because of urban pollution) Getting things done today on a national level is always full of compromise. You would well to protect the fishing we enjoy by supporting them. Not so well with Center for Biological Diversity
