This Thanksgiving lets be thankful for the wonderful fishing opportunities that are available across the country for a wide variety of species. There aren't many countries that offer such excellent fishing and diversity. If you regularly fish close to home, then this is a good time to consider joining a local conservation group. Actions speak louder than words, so instead of just saying that we are thankful lets get out there and work on improving our local fisheries. If you need help locating a fishing conservation group in your area try the Trout Unlimited website.
Have a happy Thanksgiving and lets all work together to help give future generations a fishery to be thankful for.
