News and Happenings from Colorado Trout Unlimited. About the CTU NewsBlog. Environmental groups rally in Denver against bill in U.S. House. Colorado hunting, fishing, bird- watching and other environment groups rallied Friday to oppose federal legislation that they say would hurt Western economies and natural resources. Supporters of the bill have targeted the EPA, in particular, accusing the agency of regulatory zeal that kills jobs. They contend the legislation is necessary to reduce spending, incr...

News and Happenings from Colorado Trout Unlimited. About the CTU NewsBlog. Kirk Klancke: Saving Grand County’s rivers. While we have had reasons for optimism recently in the battle to save our rivers, we have also recently received a hard blow from the Colorado Wildlife Commission. It was very apparent at the June 9 meeting that politics, not science, is being used to decide the fate of these rivers.

Guest Commentary: How much is a river worth? | CTU NewsBlog

News and Happenings from Colorado Trout Unlimited. About the CTU NewsBlog. Guest Commentary: How much is a river worth? Most Front Range residents don’t realize that much of the water they use comes directly from the streams and rivers of the upper Colorado River basin. A spider-web network of dams and pumps and pipelines delivers water from Western Slope rivers to showerheads and sprinklers in Denver and surrounding areas. The rivers and streams of the upper Colorado basin are in critical condition....

The Search for Native Salmonids: April 2013
http://shocchris.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 19, 2013. This Crazy March Weather - Part Two. I had planned this Good Friday trip a few weeks in advance so when Maryland received nearly twelve inches of snow earlier in the week, there was no backing out. In addition, I hadn't fished this area of western Maryland in almost nine years! It's hard to believe just two weeks prior to this I was wet wading in near 80 degree weather. What do they say about March coming in like a lamb? After getting rid of that skunky smell, I soon picked up ano...

The Search for Native Salmonids: September 2013
http://shocchris.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 1, 2013. Colorado 2013 - Rocky Mountain National Park Backcountry. Earlier this year I received an amazing invitation from a fellow backcountry blogger. Keith is a resident of Colorado and maintains the blog Colorado Alpine Angler. He sent me an invitation I couldn't possibly turn down - a long weekend in the RMNP backcounry. I've fished all over the park but I've never taken the time (as Keith did) to secure a backcountry campsite permit, so I was all over this opportunity! As typical ...

The Search for Native Salmonids: October 2012
http://shocchris.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 27, 2012. For the past three months I have been absolutely buried at work! I even cut my California trip in half due to my workload. I'm sure that my situation is not much different than many folks and this is a fishing blog, not a forum to whine about my lack of time on the stream. When a break in my schedule coincided with a late-October forecast for near eighty degree temperatures, I knew it was time for a day trip! I was due too! I tied on a fuzzy dry fly and started prospecting the...

The Search for Native Salmonids: Colorado 2014 - Let's Get Serious (Part 2)
http://shocchris.blogspot.com/2015/02/colorado-2014-lets-get-serious-part-2.html
Thursday, February 12, 2015. Colorado 2014 - Let's Get Serious (Part 2). When I finished Part 1 of this trip entry, I had taken a rest day to prepare for the 5-day backpacking portion of my trip. In hindsight, I'm glad I took the day off but I was three days into my Colorado adventure and I had yet to touch a fish. This 5-day adventure would be my longest backpack trip, to date, and my pack weighed in at roughly 50 pounds. This would also be the first real test of my new Osprey Xenith 88 pack. The initia...

The Search for Native Salmonids: December 2014
http://shocchris.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Another New Member to the Sport. A couple of things I enjoy most of this sport: exploring new places/water and introducing new people to the sport of fly fishing. I get equal enjoyment out of both! The interesting thing about this individual is that a few years earlier I taught his dad how to fly fish and I also took his dad to Colorado for the first time in 2011. Father and son sharing the moment. Junior" with his first trout on a fly rod; a nice, native West Virginia brookie.
