Dear Readers of Fly and Fin,
I found out on May 30, 2012 that the name Fly & Fin is trademarked to a fellow in Oregon. Oh brother (insert expletive). I’m seeing what can be done, so we’ll have to wait and see. It’s possible I’ll have to start a new blog under a new name.
Lesson learned: Make sure I get my stuff legally registered the next time around.
Stay tuned.
Lou

BE ON ALERT! Thieves Targeting Colorado Fly Shops.
Colorado Fly Shops be on the alert. On February 4, 2011 Angling Trade published news that a well-orchestrated group of of thieves are targeting Colorado fly shops. The shops
hit thus far: Laughing Grizzly, Angler’s All, Charlie’s Fly Box, Trout’s Fly Shop, Orvis Cherry Creek, and Rocky Mountain Anglers. These thefts occurred February 2-3, 2011.
Now the Daily Camera reports "Boulder police look for fly fishing-rod thieves" and Boulder's Rocky Mountain Anglers was add to the list. In all the cases it the suspects look to be two couples, of Middle Eastern or Latin in appearance. "The suspects appear to be 20 to 30 years old and of Middle Eastern descent, according to Stewart. They drove a maroon or dark Volkswagen Jetta with Illinois license plates." Source: Daily Camera. Angling Trade reported "a maroon passenger van with an Illinois license plate # K714 248 was used by the suspects."
Anyone with information on the suspects can call Boulder police detectives at 303-441-3330.
I know from my stats page there are lots of readers (and friends) in Colorado so get the word out.

Trout Unlimited Program to Serve Veterans
News from www.anglingtrade.com. Trout Unlimited (TU) announces a new Veterans Service Program that will serve U.S. veterans throughout the country, through conservation projects and fly fishing instruction.
I imagine TU will following the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Program model. The project will work with veteran rehabilitation groups, assisting their rehabilitation after physical and emotional injuries. Besides the therapeutic value of fly fishing, veterans will be introduced to TU’s mission conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
Alan Folger of Hendersonville, N.C. is the project’s program coordinator. (I don't have any other contact info.)
This is so new it's not posted on TU's web site, and like all new programs it will take a while for it to get going. These type of programs always need volunteers and the success this or any program will depend on volunteers who want to give back. I can't think of a finer group to give back to. If your TU chapter starts a Veterans Service Program, please get involved.
In full disclousue I'm the former NLC representative for New Jersey and serve on Central Jersey's chapter's board and a life member.
