The Flint and the Chattahoochee Rivers as well as various construction and city plans have put the Toccoa and North Georgia streams in potential danger - a situation that doesn't sit well with previous SOTM entrant Craig Holman.

Tis the season to gear up for Winter steelheading. For us in Washington, it comes in two phases - the hatchery run followed by the wild run. And when Moldy Chum prioritizes its calendar weekends for the next six months, February, March, and April take pole position. It's not a priority fueled by quantity or percentages rather one defined by experience. It is this experience that has incented Trout Unlimited and Moldy Chum to ask for your help.
We invite all Moldy Chum friends and followers to take 1 minute to answer this survey that asks how much anglers in Washington state value wild steelhead as opposed to hatchery-reared fish. The data gathered, non-scientific though it may be, will be provided to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
“We’d like to find out just how important the experience of catching a wild steelhead is to the recreational angler in Washington,” said Rob Masonis, vice president of Western Conservation for TU. “From a conservation standpoint, we worry that hatchery fish are diluting wild stocks and reducing the hearty nature of steelhead in the Northwest. But we recognize the overall importance of steelhead to the recreational angler. I guess it boils down to a simple question: would you rather catch a wild fish or a hatchery fish?”

New Analysis Finds Anglo American’s Pebble Mine Project Poses
Significant Risks for Investors
WASHINGTON – A new investor analysis to be released this Thursday, October 29th, details the legal, political, financial, engineering and reputational risks that Anglo American plc faces in developing the Pebble Mine Project in the headwaters of Bristol Bay in southwest Alaska.
Anglo American is cutting its capital expenditures this year by 50 percent to relieve pressure on its balance sheet. Meanwhile, company officials still face mounting and potentially costly obstacles with the Pebble Project – all of which should give investors pause. London-based Anglo American has a joint 50-50 venture with British Columbia-based Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. – the Pebble Limited Partnership – to pursue the Pebble Mine Project.
The controversial project faces unprecedented opposition from local residents and from commercial and sport fishing industries, which generate $250 to $320 million in annual revenue in Alaska and support tens of thousands of U.S. jobs. More than a dozen U.S. and U.K. jewelers with estimated sales of $3.5 billion also oppose the project.
Researchers Bonnie Gestring with the Washington, D.C.-based conservation group Earthworks, and Steve Herz, an attorney who advises non-profits on international environmental and human rights law, prepared the report. U.S. and U.K. investment analysts and scientists familiar with the Pebble Mine Project reviewed the report.
