The Caddis Fly: Oregon Fly Fishing Blog

This week, Gabe O’Campo of Eugene (past president of the Emerald Empire Chapter of the Northwest Steelheaders) wrote a great column in the Register-Guard, calling on Oregon anglers to get behind global warming legislation, and specifically to pressure Gordon Smith to sign-on to the Warner-Lieberman Climate Security Act.From the article: Fisheries are being closed, guide trips are being canceled due to flooding, and warm water is killing our beloved cold water fish… The message from sportsmen is simple — all of our Oregon congressional leaders need to support legislation that begins reducing global warming pollution by 2 percent per year and gets us well on the path of what scientists say is necessary to avoid the most dangerous impacts from climate change.
