Trout Unlimited TV program
Yesterday I saw a TV program produced by TU and filmed near Asheville NC.
Showed the guys in a driftboat in the Tuckaseigee river catching what looked
like one stocker trout after another followed by some very large rainbows.
Then they talked about going elsewhere and how beautiful the native southern
appalachian brook trout are. Next thing we see are our heroes at a different
spot that they had to walk to (apparently not a long walk from wherever they
parked) and they are catching multiple 4-lb brook trout.
They made a few comments that, properly parsed and analyzed, might imply
that such brookies are not normal. But I think the comments were in the "I
did not have sex with that woman" category.
Extremely disappointing to see TU produce a program that, to me at least,
pushed the edge of the envelope on truth. They could have done a very
interesting and truthful program on native trout, but they did something far
different. It looks more like a commercial for a guide service whose name
was generously shown many times. Anybody else see it?
