Free Fly Fishing Workshop April 16 In Green Bay

Catching Trout on the Sand County Streams

Only an hour’s drive from Green Bay, beautiful woodland “sand county” trout streams can provide some great trout fishing – if one knows a few secrets to success.

Brad Magalski will reveal some of these secrets along with his personal list of fly patterns that really work.  Brad might even disclose some hot spots on these streams to help point a new fly fisher in the right direction. He will also be tying a couple of his favorite patterns.

Brad lives in Menasha. Brad is a gifted fly tyer and frequently fishes the sand county streams.  On an extended road trip last year out West, Brad fulfilled a dream of achieving a “cutt slam.”  You can ask Brad what that means.

WHEN: Monday, April 4th, 2011. Program starts promptly at 7 p.m.

WHERE: Legends Brewhouse and Eatery, 2840 Shawano Avenue, Green Bay, WI 

Free program Sponsored by the Classic Anglers of Wisconsin.  A Federation of Flyfishers Club - Contact Jim Hauer 920.430.1231

The FDA is close to approving genetically modified salmon for human consumption

The FDA is close to approving genetically modified salmon for human consumption. This decision could be disastrous for wild salmon in the U.S. and around the world. We simply can't let it happen. Please join Trout Unlimited today and tell the FDA to say NO to genetically modified fish. As you may have heard, a group called AquaBounty Technologies has created a genetically modified salmon that grows twice as fast as conventional farmed salmon. The company is seeking FDA approval to commercially market this "frankenfish." So far, research and public debate has focused on the impacts of human consumption of the fish. But as anglers and conservationists, you know there's far more at stake. If genetically engineered salmon are produced on a commercial scale, fisheries experts say they would inevitably escape into the wild. And if that occurs, it could cause catastrophic damage to the last remaining stocks of wild salmon. We do not question the FDA's ability to determine potential impacts to humans from eating genetically engineered fish, but they do not have the expertise to evaluate potential impacts on wild salmon. As fishermen and women, we have a unique perspective on this issue, and our voices must be heard. Please, join me today in asking the FDA to conduct a full environmental impact analysis and consult with salmon fisheries experts from Trout Unlimited, NOAA Fisheries, and the Fish and Wildlife Service before making this potentially disastrous decision. It's up to you and me to stand up and protect wild salmon and healthy fisheries. Sincerely, Chris Wood President & CEO, Trout Unlimited
