Fishing. Conservation. Community.
We bring people together across the country to care for our rivers and help make our water cleaner and our communities healthier.
Please join us.
Priority Waters are rivers and streams across America where Trout Unlimited is focusing our energies to care for and recover wild and native trout and salmon watersheds.
Rooted in science and developed in collaboration with TU volunteers and trusted partners, our shared TU Priority Waters are the foundation of a strategic roadmap to protect, restore and reconnect waters, so future generations can experience the joy of wild and native trout and salmon.
Together, we can rise to the moment.
We Are Trout Unlimited
We banded together. Picked up shovels. Rolled rocks. Planted trees. Together we’ve built coalitions. Passed state and federal laws to protect our rivers. We will build on our legacy of accomplishment and together we will inspire a larger, younger, and more diverse array of conservation advocates.
