"If we take care of the fishes, then the fishing will take care of itself."
Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's trout
and salmon fisheries and their watersheds.
Trout Unlimited was formed from a union of 16 fishermen by their love of trout fishing
and their growing disgust with the states' practice of stocking its water with "cookie
cutter trouts". These men were convinced that Michigan's trout streams could
turn out a far superior fish if left to their own devices. For nearly 50 years,
Trout Unlimited continues to make impact with objectives of developing programs
and recommendations base on the very best information available. The organization
is comprised of 152,000 volunteers in 450 chapters nationwide and actively involved
in conservation issues.
Trout Unlimited dedicates its efforts toward conservation and protects our rivers
and fisheries for generations to come.
