There were articles recently in both of Avery County’s newspapers about the designation of Newland as a "Mountain Heritage Trout City." Legislation, sponsored by our own Joe Sam Queen, was passed last year and Newland, along with a one-mile section of the Toe River, is one of the first of five pilot programs in the state. Queen, quoted by the Avery Journal-Times, said that: "Avery County has great waters to fish, and this program will help give identity of destination to the mountains. This program is going to be very family oriented and will celebrate our mountain heritage."
It is nice to see things being done to "celebrate our mountain heritage." More needs to be done.
I wonder where the other four areas are?
