By Keith Curley Brook trout are often looked at through the lens of decline, and with good reason – brook trout have been lost from many of their historical habitats. The Northeast, however, continues to be blessed with an abundance of brook trout habitat. According to TU’s Conservation Portfolio, Range-wide Assessment, and Focal Area assessment…
By Colin Lawson Trout Unlimited and partners recently completed a project bypassing an old earth dam on Robinson Brook in New Hampshire, expanding habitat for brook trout on the Ashuelot River tributary. TU’s project team designed a step, pool riffle configuration to allow full passage of all fish species in all flow conditions (above). The…
By Chris Hunt I first fished the upper Gibbon River some 20 years ago. In its quiet, high reaches above Virginia Cascades, it is perhaps the prettiest stretch of meadow stream in all of Yellowstone. It snakes, cold and deep, through a picturesque mountain valley below a couple of high-country lakes that source it. Its…
By Jeff Reardon I’m following a green state truck through Freeport, a coastal Maine town best known as the home of L.L. Bean, horrendous summer traffic and outlet malls, when the truck slams to a stop on a busy road. I know this isn’t the right spot, but I check my GPS anyway. No, it’s…

“From the very first day of this section, we could see all the way to where we would be in three days. Across a wide, high desert valley we could see a pass that we would eventually cross over to stay on the divide. To our right and in front of us there was a mountain range that the CDT climbs up into twice.”
By David Kinney TU volunteer leader Agust Gudmundsson came out for a public hearing this week to testify in support of New Jersey’s trout streams, as he has time and again over the years. This week, the cause was a bit closer to his heart than usual. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)…

The brilliant autumn colors along the riparian area at Brooks Memorial State Park provided the perfect backdrop for time in the stream. The East Prong of the Little Klickitat River flows over a mile right through this Washington State Park and travels 13 miles south through the town of Goldendale. It was a beautiful fall…
Wheeler wants the fish back. The Nez Perce people want the fish back. So does the Yakima nation, the Nisqually, the Sauk-Suiattle, the Nooksack. All united to one cause—bring the Snake River salmon back for once and for all. Bring the dams down.
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.
Here lies the promise of our plans to develop a shared agenda of priority waters.
