http://www.sfwda.org/saveatrout/ I should have asked them to name it Ghost! I got one who else has $5 for a good cause?
You should not be conflicted. The problem is not with us its the FS mismanagement and seeding of off species of trout. Is the Tellico water shead the only place to find trout? So why not shut it down to fishing for a year or two just like they have shut down the trails. Makes sence to me.damn, im conflicted, i have two cabins in tellico and have been fly fishing there all my life, and i love to offroad my xj.
Yes brook are the ones that TU suposedly want to protect. The problem lies in the seeding of the river with ranbow and brown trout. Both are a more agressive speciaes and are beating the brook out of their natural food and causing the problems.actually brook trout are found all over the appalachian mountains in the cold water streams in upper elevations
That is one of the main problems but there are more problems other than rainbows and browns to blame. I researched brookies when I was in school at UT for a wildlife and fisheries major.
You mind shareing some of your findings? Just wondering what you might add to the understanding.
Thanks,
Mike
IMHO this is what needs to happen. It might open their eyes to what they have done and the can of worms they have opened.The worst thing that could happen is Tellico would be closed to everyone and IMO that is better then just closing us out.

You sir are correct. I really believe our sport is heading for privatization. I hate to say it but I have seen more private parks open and more forest close then I ever would have thought of.X Be careful for what you ask for huh.
