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.

Our chapter though the years....
On the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Trout Unlimited, past board member, Tom McCoy, has compiled a historical timeline
of our Chapter throughout the years. To do this, Tom interviewed some of our longstanding members, retrieved from storage all of our
newsletters, consolidated notes from our scrapbook, and provided some of his own commentary. Click the link below to save the pdf
of the project. Anyone wishing to contribute to this document please email Tom at tfm97@optonline.net.
