Fly FusionI was browsing the latest copy of Fly Fusion . The cover story by April Vokey is about the Sacred Headwaters; BC’s most endangered watershed. I have mentioned the Sacred Headwaters in previous posts. The first time was back in May of 2008 and more recently in May of 2011. The sacred headwaters issue is very much like the Pebble Mine issue in Alaska. It’s really bad. While I have never fished within the Skeena System, I sure hope to. I have driven the Alaska Highway and crossed BC thirty times. One of these trips, I hope to stop and have a shot at legendary steelhead. Get Shell Out of the Sacred HeadwatersRegardless of whether or not I do, I want to help support our friends across the border who oppose Royal Dutch Shell from drilling more than 1,000 coalbed methane gas wells in the Sacred Headwaters. After reading the article in Fly Fusion, I immediately emailed the premier of B.C. from my Blackberry. No need to wait and think about it.

To: The Honourable Christy Clark
Premier of British Columbia

Canadians, Americans and anglers around the world know that the lands and waters of B.C. are priceless in their natural state. Please oppose Royal Dutch Shell and preserve the Sacred Headwaters for all the habitats and people the region supports. Do it for your people, your country and our fragile earth.

Its that easy to help. The habitats vital to our last remaining strong holds of anadromous fish are fragile, threatened and priceless. I can’t imagine the northwest region without the Skeena/Stikine/Nass systems any more than I can imagine Alaska without the salmon runs of Bristol Bay. You can easily help by reaching out to:

Preserve the Sacred Headwaters and Stop the Pebble Mine. Canadian and American anglers need to support each other throughout the North Pacific Region.
No Pebble Mine

    Right on, Fred. I’ll do the same in hopes of helping our neighbors to the North and also maybe getting an email from April. Just the mention should bolster Google stats ;)

      I see that April Vokey is already listed in your tag cloud…and it is a seriously legitimate cause!
