In the fall 2010 issue of TROUT we have a story about Stefan McLeod who is standing up for the Paiute cutthroat, one of the rarest trout in North America. There is more to McLeod than his fishing talents and activism though, he proudly displays a variety of fly-fishing tattoos.
Here’s just one of McLeod’s tattoos, the TU fish logo.
We want to know if you have had your love of fishing permanently inked on. Send your photos to scarmichael@tu.org then check back to see what others have done, including TU staff members! Also don’t forget to look for McLeod’s full story in the fall issue.

When our newest chapter president said he was going to get a TU ‘tat’, none of us old guys believed it much.We have since learned not to doubt Stephan’s convictions and actions…Our newest Truckee Chapter, near Lake Tahoe, is ‘on fire” right now, highly motivated to get things done.
We at the California State council (TUCA) look forward to hearing great things from this group and about reading about them in the Fall 2010 issue.
A special thanks has to go out to David Lass, our young Public Lands & Education Coordinator staffer in Truckee for helping this chapter and peer group get started.

I do not have a tattoo about fly fishing but I would like to see others who have one maybe a design would pop up that would inspire me to get one.
