Protecting Our Rivers, Colorado Petition Worth Checking Out

ABOUT THE PROTECT OUR RIVERS LICENSE PLATE

We need your Support for an important cause in Colorado. Colorado Trout Unlimited, with volunteer help from Niby Design Group, developed the Protect Our Rivers license plate (pictured above) to help raise a minimum of $75,000 for river protection right here in Colorado.

But this plate will not be produced until we collect 3,000 signatures from all our members and friends. Our deadline is November 30th, 2010 and we need you to help us meet our goal!

Anything Trout Unlimited National, Colorado Trout Unlimited or Denver Trout Unlimited related I'm always open ears. I was lucky to serve as Activities Director with the Denver Trout Unlimited for a number of years so anything I can do to promote or assist, I'm game. Please take the time to read this and pass along if you get a chance...a big thanks!


HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Petition Link
During the 2011 legislative session, Colorado Trout Unlimited will introduce a bill to create the Protect Our Rivers license plate. In order to introduce the bill we need 3,000 signatures by the end of November.

Once the bill is passed, you can obtain a Protect Our River s license plate by making a one-time, tax-deductible donation of $25 to Colorado Trout Unlimited. This money will be used to help CTU fulfill its mission of protecting, conserving and restoring Colorado's rivers by funding on-the-ground restoration projects, youth conservation education programs, and river advocacy. The money will remain 100% local, all funds will be allocated to projects and programs within Colorado.

Big Trout on the White River in Arkansas!

World Record Trout on The White River, This is The Place!

You want big trout? Well what better place than the White River in Arkansas and if you have the time, don't forget about the Little Red River at night. My pal John Wilson is the go-to guy when it comes to big fish in those parts so "When" you make your trip that way, because I know eventually you will; Call John and get onto some Monster Brown Trout! He always helps me out when I'm out for Big fish at night and looking for various tactics to try so thanks a ton.

Frank Smethurst, a fellow Georgia/Colorado resident and UGA alumni, has been hitting the road again this past year for his show TU "Trout Unlimited's On The Rise" and after my last conversation with him a few weeks back he still get's bright eyed when I talked to him about his Beast Brown, nice going Frank and can't wait to see on you on some local waters again here in Colorado when you're not traveling or shooting videos. Congrats also on your newborn as well. TU is still important to me seeing how I spent years as the Activities/Programs director here at the Denver Trout Unlimited's Chapter, so checkout his episode of the White River Brown if you can.
