Conservation planning and assessment helps answer “where” questions related to trout and salmon populations to help inform, guide, and contextualize Trout Unlimited’s work. Where are the strongest remaining populations for a protection focus? Where are the least disturbed habitats for a restoration focus? Where are the coldwater refuge streams for reconnection focus? Where can TU’s…

This bill would rebuild, improve and restore America’s infrastructure through a variety of programs, many of which directly support TU’s water, restoration, forest health and mine remediation efforts.
By Mark Taylor First came the stench. A putrid, heavy, disgusting aroma. Dead fish on a hot summer day. There is nothing quite like it. On rivers with heavy salmon runs it’s expected, coming after the fish complete their one-time spawning run, in death providing nutrients to ecosystems that will support their soon-to-hatch fry. But…
I believe in the power of volunteerism. I’ve been volunteering since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I’ve prepared meals for the homebound, built homes for families, implemented community recycling programs and complete erosion control projects–-no task too big or small. To me, that is the power of volunteerism. Often times strangers come together…
West slope cutthroat trout from Grayling Creek, Yellowstone National Park. Just a quick update from Yellowstone, with more to come (I promise).

A stream roiling dark with Chinook salmon in central Idaho’s wilderness high country. A throb, a pulse of life into a pristine river, the abundance of the ocean arriving in the flesh of thousands of salmon in a wild mountain river hundreds of miles inland. This was. This was life itself, for the land, for the water, for the people.
