TU Philosophy...We believe that trout and salmon fishing isn't just fishing for trout and salmon. It's fishing for sport rather than food, where the true enjoyment of the sport lies in the challenge, the lore, the battle of wits, not necessarily the full creel. It's the feeling of satisfaction that comes limiting your kill instead of killing your limit. It's communing with nature where the chief reward is a refreshed body and a contented soul, where a license is a permit to use not abuse, to enjoy not destroy our cold water fishery. It's subscribing to the proposition that what's good for trout and salmon is good for the fisherman and that managing trout and salmon for themselves rather than the fisherman is fundamental to the solution of our trout and salmon problems. It's appreciating our fishery resource, respecting fellow anglers and giving serious thought to tomorrow.
Some of our "Adoptees"
Welcome to the Long Island Chapter of Trout Unlimited
Adopt a Serviceperson
The Adopt a Service Person Program (or AASPP for short) is a way to recognize those Long Islanders serving in the military, who are or would like to be trout fishers. The Long Island Chapter of Trout Unlimited has formalized this program to include the following for those nominated and selected:
- A one year membership in TU and the LITU Chapter
- Recipient of Monthly Newsletter
- A Long Island Trout Unlimted Hat
- A Long Island Trout Unlimted Tee Shirt
- A day fishing on a local river with a TU Member and a box of local flies
Anyone can nominate any active duty service person who they think would enjoy being
“adopted.” If you know a service person who would like to be adopted just let any board member know.
