Putting The "U" In Troutu
One of the things that makes a trout fishing website more useful than a magazine, television program, etc., is the ability to collaborate at a high level. This means anyone who has pertinent information can contribute. This means we all benefit more. Recently, to leverage this ability, we've decided to make some changes to the website.
Western Carolina Fly Fishing Expo
I would like to remind you that the Western Carolina Fly Fishing Expo will start at 9:00 AM this Saturday November, 6 at the Western North Carolina Agriculture Center in Ashville, NC. Tickets are just $10 for adults and those under 16 are admitted free and the best part is that parking is free.
Broadstreet Consulting a Winner
Thanks to Broadstreet Consulting for their continued efforts at making this a world-class site. We've moved to a new server in preparation for our store's grand opening, and the Broadstreet team is continuing to improve and tune the site. Thank you, Broadstreet!
No wonder Tom Sliker the owner of Broadstreet Consulting was named early on as the Director of Information Services here at the Trout University.

How to Choose a fly Rod
In the quest to reduce the weight of fly rods, manufactures have gone to stronger materials and they have reduced the amount of material used. Almost all of the manufacturers have used higher modulus graphite to make the rods more sensitive, lighter and more efficient. When using the higher modulus, a lighter blank will produce the same stiffness. But nothing is without drawbacks, as the higher modulus blanks are far more prone to break
Watauga River Fish Kill
The Watauga Riverkeeper, Donna Lisenby, received a phone call on Saturday July 17, alerting her to a fish kill on the Watauga River in Boone, NC. Donna in cooperation with the Boone fire department was able to track down the source of the pollutant and it was from the B B&T parking lot on highway 105 in Boone, NC. It seems that the Watauga River and a tributary called Hodges Creek have suffered a great deal of damage due to the carelessness of an asphalt contractor who allowed asphalt sealer to flow into the Watauga River via a drain sewer.
