With over 2000 members, we are one of the largest TU chapters in the nation. We work to restore and protect metro-area trout streams such as the Vermillion River, Hay Creek and Trout Brook. We also support the conservation work of sister chapters in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Serving a large urban area, we are…
Probably can’t see me.

Redband Trout in the Upper Klamath Basin of Oregon are unique creatures. Outside of Alaska, redband trout in the Upper Klamath are the largest-bodied strain of native rainbow trout that remain in freshwater their entire lives. Fish over 24 inches are common and 30-inch trout are caught each year. Trout Unlimited staff from Klamath Falls,…
Executive summary Fishing for trout is a passion shared by countless anglers across the country. The challenge of catching a monster Lahontan cutthroat trout from Nevada’s Pyramid Lake or a salter brook trout from a coastal stream in Massachusetts can be rewarding and frustrating all at the same time. As fly-fishing author John Gierach described…
It’s getting warmer outside. Spring is actually springing, and that means summer isn’t far off. Soon, it’ll be time to camp next to high-country trout water and sight-fish to feeding fish. I can’t wait. And short films, like this little gem above from Carpe Dieme featuring wild brown trout fishing in Scandinavia, don’t help with…
When it comes to our trout fishing, most of us are satisfied with “good enough.” We know a little bit about our local streams and rivers, and a little bit about our gear, and a little bit about insects and fly patterns. While our casting might not be the prettiest around, and while nobody is…
Earlier this month the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change put out a report that told us what every good mother has been saying for decades: Eat your vegetables. Clean your plate. Eat less beef. Finish your beans. True, that’s an oversimplification. But for me it hits home. I spend a fair bit of time worrying…
Adopt-a-trout is an opportunity for students to participate in hands-on, real-life fisheries science. The program begins with a field day of fish tagging and related curriculum on-site with local students. Trout receive telemetry tags and are “adopted” by local students. The adopted trout’s movement is then monitored throughout the school year. Adopt-a-Trout is unique in the way that…

There are many demands on water, especially in the West. Municipal water for drinking and other human uses, agricultural water to grow our food, recreational water to keep a thriving outdoor recreation industry afloat and numerous others. And all are important for the economy and our lives and livelihoods, but in the West, it is clear there is not enough to go…
I dusted off the old baitcaster, and rigged up some crankbaits, swimbaits, poppers and such, and am waiting patiently for ice-out. Where I live, pike love to eat trout, pretty much to a fault
The School of Trout is a unique school for people looking to completely immerse themselves in fly fishing for trout. We only host two classes annually — one 7 day basic class and one 5 day advanced class — designed for anglers who share a passion for learning, and for the outdoors. We limit our…
Michigan habitat work transforms stream in southeast corner of the state into a trout haven for a big population center.
