The Chattooga River Chapter’s “Conservation Agenda”
Includes partnering with Duke Energy and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
in the construction of a handicap fishing pier below the “High Bridge” or “Dug Mountain
Angler Access Area” to the Eastatoee River.

Allen Nicholson preparing to cut the ribbon for the new access point.
"We believe that trout and salmon fishing isn't just fishing for trout and salmon.
It's fishing for sport rather than food, where the true enjoyment of the sport lies
in the challenge, the lore, and the battle of wits, not necessarily the full creel.
It's the feeling of satisfaction that comes from limiting your kill instead of
killing your limit. It's communing with nature where the chief reward is a refreshing
body and a contented soul, where a license is a permit to use, not abuse, and to
enjoy, not destroy, a fishery. It's subscribing to the proposition that what's good
for trout and salmon is good for the fisherman (and other people who enjoy the out-
of-doors), and that managing trout and salmon for themselves rather than the fisherman
is fundamental to the solution of our trout and salmon problems.
It's appreciating our fishery resource, respecting fellow anglers, and giving
serious thought to tomorrow."
