Pulaski Salmon, For Some means there are fish in a pretty river and those in the know will catch some and some will write about the opposite. This was a great trip, casting in God’s country for steelhead and salmon but sometimes, you just don’t catch the fish, even after you found the fish.
Each new spring offers opportunity and peaceful adventures for salt pond anglers. I return to a favorite secret striper cove, partially undiscovered, silently sublimely obvious, teeming with chances for whatever we call fishing success. Spring revives us, she unlatches her gate to a warm summer, so in this piece, we begin a new fishing year with hope tucked away in plain sight.
RITU’s Annual Fundraiser Banquet is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates cold water conservation, a fine dinner and cool gear auctions both live and silent. With George Daniel at the podium after dinner, you will stock up on gear and advise on how to cast and fish more effectively. This is a wonderful afternoon that supports Trout Unlimited in Rhode Island.
The annual Trees for Trout collection saved 400 trees from landfills, affording them new lives in a much-loved Wood River next summer. Trout Unlimited and RIDEM joined forces again to save then reestablish Christmas trees to create revetments which will provide shade and shelter to fresh water fishes, like trout. Trout Unlimited beats with a heart of volunteerism and this year was another strong success.
