Annual BBQ

The time of year is once again here to start thinking about our annual BBQ. As you know our BBQ serves as the main fundraiser for our chapter and allows us to financially support great causes like Casting for Recovery, Rivercourse, and Trout in the Classroom. Without the generous donations of local fly fisherman, such as yourselves, none of the great work these programs represent would be possible. If you have any items or services that you think might make a good auction item please contact me, David Grossman, at your convenience so that we can start building an auction list. Any donations can also be dropped off at any of the Curtis Wright Outfitters locations in Biltmore Village, Saluda, or Weaverville.

TU's Vision

By the next generation, Trout Unlimited will ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters.

You can now commission an original oil painting scene of your favorite trout stream in WNC from one of our own TU LOS members. Jim Hefley specializes in paintings of our beautiful mountain streams, many featuring a fly fisherman casting a fly or netting a trout. For more information and photos of his work, please go to the Jim Hefley page.

Trout Unlimited Land O' Sky
Centered in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, we are an organization of anglers and conservationists dedicated to the protection of trout and their habitat. We are located within an hour's drive of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and surrounded by the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. Many of the premiere trout streams of the southeastern United States are within easy casting distance.

Our chapter is actively involved with other resource agencies, such as the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in decisions about best management practices for fisheries and watersheds. We assist fisheries scientists from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in stream monitoring.

We maintain an active, ongoing interest in the education of youth on the importance of trout habitat protection and catch and release angling.

We invite all conservation-minded anglers, regardless of their chosen method of fishing or level of fishing experience, to join us in protecting coldwater fisheries in our region.
