9:26 am Conservation, Flyfishing

After sustained efforts by CalTout  I’m pleased to find that Nestle Waters has agreed to abandon plans to bottle McCloud River water! This is huge on so many levels! Beside consuming enormous water on the surface they would’ve taken from underground water reservoirs and dramatically effected this ecosystem. If you’ve ever visited this area and been informed you could understand what this means. I remember my first time coming to Burney Creek camping and fly fishing. If you hike to the head waters you will quickly see the importance of the underground water system as the river begins with water bubbling up from underneath! I didn’t used to be so conservatively minded until I was educated and felt a desire that others should recognize the value of preserving our rivers. I have since discontinued drinking bottled water because of my new conscience on these matters. Read more here on CalTrout’s website!
