Trout U
Montana State University releases Trout U merchandise.
MSU has created a new merchandise trademark, called "Montana State University, Trout U."
The moniker was created to acknowledge MSU’s location at the epicenter of blue ribbon trout streams and to showcase its research and teaching prominence in water resources and fisheries. Fly Rod and Reel magazine's October 2005 issue named MSU as the top school in the nation to get an education near fly-fishing streams.
MSU student Brooks Phillips helped develop the design for inaugural Trout U merchandise. The artwork features the outline of the state of Montana with the major rivers noted, as well as a trout leaping for a fly.
"Trout U represents the people who share passion for the rivers and fisheries of southwest Montana,” said Phillips. “The styles of the product are earthy and friendly, while representing respect for our water resources."
MSU Trout U products will be available at local fishing shops and outfitters, as well as at the MSU bookstore and online at www.bobcatshopper.com.
