Land O’ Sky Trout Unlimited’s Mission

To conserve, protect, and restore coldwater fisheries and their watersheds on a local and national level by fostering a passion for fishing, community service, fellowship and education.

About Us

Centered in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, we are an organization of anglers and conservationists dedicated to the protection of trout and their habitat. We are located within an hour’s drive of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and surrounded by the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests. Many of the premiere trout streams of the southeastern United States are within easy driving distance.

Our chapter is actively involved with resource agencies, such as the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in decisions about best management practices for fisheries and watersheds. We maintain an active, ongoing interest in the education of youth on the importance of trout habitat protection and catch and release angling.

We invite all conservation-minded anglers, regardless of their chosen method of fishing or level of fishing experience, to join us in protecting coldwater fisheries in our region.

February 2012

Because Valentine’s Day occurs on the same day as our normal meeting date, the February meeting will be held on Ferbuary 21, 2012. This month we’re lucky to have USFS biologist Sheryl Bryant, who will talk about recent and future projects and potential opportunities for collaboration in the National Forest, as well as fishing there.
