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.
We meet the first Monday of each month at Three
Brothers
Restaurant,
183 Haywood Street
, phone
253-4971. (On the corner of Montford
and
Haywood Street
just up from Hunter Banks.)
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 also manage 3 1/2 miles of the Big East Fork of the Pigeon River in
Haywood County as a high quality, catch and release, private fishery.
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.
