Dedicated To Preserving Coldwater Fisheries

The Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited is located in Hendersonville, NC, and nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pisgah Chapter, chartered in 1969, has dedicated 40 years to cold water conservation. From our humble beginnings of 29 members we have grown to almost 300.

The Pisgah Chapter is very active in conservation projects with the U.S. Forest Service and the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission. We also publish an award winning newsletter each month.

With the Pisgah National Forest, Nantahala National Forest, and the Great Smoky National Forest at our backdoor, this is a great place to live and fish.

Skip took us throught the Treasurer's Report and brought the club up to date on the financials.  Then G.R. Connaly gave a brief report and explained his steelhead trip.  We then had a water quality report updating the Green River and Lake Adger.  Jim Heffly explained the Rivercourse project to our membership and requested a $200 donation.   Damon Hearne explained his Land Protection Program of which Big Creek Lodge and  East Fork Headwaters Conservancy offers us some well anticipated events down the road.  After a breif recess, Brandon Apodaca and Joe Moore educated our membership on how to catch the big fish during the dead of Winter on the Davidson.  One of the most important lessons was that of safety.  A secret on the Davidson is to use the 10' leader with a 5' tippet.  Great stuff    All in all a very good meeting.
