Cataraft with Wheelchair Platform


John Bass from North Carolina works closely with Project Healing Waters to help provide fly fishing opportunities for wounded service men and women. John is himself confined to a wheelchair and sent me this photo of his new cataraft complete with a wheelchair compatible front casting platform.

High Road or Slippery Slope?


According to this article on New West, Trout Unlimited is considering a resolution to drop their involvement in stream access issues.

"A proposed TU resolution states: “Involvement in stream access disputes is divisive and a distraction from the mission. ….The proposed amendments would prohibit TU involvement or participation in disputes that pit claims of public stream access against claims of private property rights.” "

Knowing that this issue is of major interest to fly fishers across the nation, we contacted Steve Moyer, Trout Unlimited's Vice President for Government Affairs and Volunteer Operations for a comment. Mr. Moyer let us know that TU's Trustees are "actively considering the matter" and that a decision could be reached as early as next week. He has graciously consented to an interview with FlyfishMagazine once the decision has been reached.
