here is a copy of a letter i just sent to the president of a "local chapter" of TU allthough not here in CO it will be interesting to see if i get a response which i will ofcourse post here
there has been much said of TU and i wonder what TU has to say heres there chance
" hi
i am very interested in working to protect and restore trout fisheries but have been hesitant to join due to negitive statments from some saying that TU is strictly flyfishing C/R
have heard mention that TU wants all trout waters to be flyfishing only! now i fly fish on ocassion but due to a shoulder injury am not able to as much as i like and have picked up the spinning rod for much of my fishing these days
as to C/R only for trout which i have heard but have not seen on any of TUs web sites. i can see C/R only in some areas but properly managed harvest is benifical to the fishery
as i said this negitive info about TU is all hearsay that is why i have asked you directly if this is how you and TU feel i respect that but would be unable to suport that and would look to join a more balanced organization
thank you for your time"
