Bristol Bay, located in southwest Alaska, is home to pristine waters and habitat that sustains world class trout and salmon populations and the largest sockeye and king salmons runs remaining. Wildlife is abundant in this area. The proposed Pebble Mine will create North America’s largest open-pit gold and copper strip mine. The Pebble Mine complex, covering some 15 square miles, would include the largest dam in the world, 2 miles long and 1 1/2 miles wide, made of earth not concrete, to hold back the toxic waste created in the mining process.
Experts agree that the Bristol Bay fishery will ultimately be destroyed. The land to be mined is currently owned by every American citizen and is managed by the US Bureau of Land Management. Trout Unlimited and numerous other conservation minded organizations have committed themselves to stop mining in this region. For more information on Bristol Bay go to www.tu.org/bristolbay.
To raise money for this project, Triangle Fly Fishers will raffle off a limited edition fly fishing outfit. View the Raffle Flyer here (PDF).
