Pere Marquette River Chapter

The Pere Marquette Chapter of Trout Unlimited (PMTU) was founded in 2016 and is centered around one of the United State’s premier coldwater fisheries, the Pere Marquette River. In 1884, the first planting of German brown trout in the United States occurred in the Pere Marquette River system on the Baldwin River. The Pere Marquette River is a state designated Natural River and Blue Ribbon Trout Stream, and federally recognized Wild and Scenic River. The Pere Marquette flows through the Huron-Manistee National Forest, and has no dams on its mainstream.
