North Carolina Trout Unlimited
is pleased to announce that the North Carolina Back the
Brookie license plate application is
now available. This has been the result of the
 hard
and diligent work of many people. Thanks especially go to Debbie
Griffith for getting the plate approved by the State
Legislature; to Michael Simon for creating the trout artwork for
NCTU; and to Sam Stitcher for laying out the plate.
Please note that NCTU needs to collect 300 applications before
the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles will begin
producing the plates. According to the DMV's
procedures, it is NCTU's responsibility, as the sponsoring
organization, to collect and screen the initial batch of
applications.
To apply for a Back the Brookie plate, download the Adobe PDF
file using the link provided below.
 Carefully
follow the instructions on the application. You will need the
Adobe Acrobat Reader program to open and print this file. You
may obtain that software for free by going to the
Adobe site
and downloading the Acrobat Reader software.

Nat
Greene Flyfishers is the Greensboro, NC affiliate chapter of
both Trout Unlimited (TU) and
the Federation of Fly
Fishermen (FFF), national conservation organizations
dedicated to maintaining our cold water resources. Past club
conservation efforts have included stream cleanups, stream
restoration, and support of local, state, and national fish and
wildlife agencies in an effort to insure the preservation of our
cold water fisheries.
Nat
Greene takes an active role in educating our local children,
adults, and scouting organizations in the principles of
conservation, ecosystem management, and in introducing them to
the enjoyment of tying, casting, and fishing artificial flies.
In
addition to providing financial and volunteer assistance to
conservation groups, the club arranges numerous "fun" fishing
outings throughout the year. Also, our more experienced members
share their expertise with fly tying, casting, fishing
techniques, rod building, and other activities with the entire
club. We welcome your support and participation!
The Nat
Greene Flyfishers hold their monthly meetings on the second
Tuesday of each month. Everyone is welcome to attend -- you need
not be a member!
Refer
to our Meetings and Events
section for information regarding date, time, and featured
speaker at the monthly meeting.
