Dalton and all,
NCC-TU and Mid-Atlantic Trout Unlimited are already working with MD-DNR and the Maryland Sportfishing Advisory Commission on these regulatory changes and are supportive of both. We would greatly appreciate TPFR members voicing their support in favor of the same. Ultimately, TU, like many of you, would like to see Brook Trout protected entirely in all waters in the state of Maryland. This is a step in that direction.
On the subject of stocking, Trout Unlimited has made plain its opposition toward the state's continued stocking of hatchery fish in waters known to be inhabited by wild trout populations, whether native brook trout or wild browns. It's a subject that can be very political in nature and I won't elaborate any further on a public forum. I just want to be clear that so long as it is under my leadership, TU in Maryland will continue to work towards the conservation of wild trout populations in the state, regardless of what people's preconceptions of TU otherwise might be.
Thanks,
Andrew Reichardt
President, NCC-TU
Vice-Chair, MAC-TU
Conservation Chair, TPFR
