Hardly a day goes by that our team doesn’t get asked “Why don’t they build fish ladders?” (they have!) or “Aren’t salmon doing great?” (they are not.) This week, we’re answering them on Instagram.

America has such a well-earned reputation for innovating our way out of problems that we sometimes miss the obvious natural solution. In a series of open houses this summer in Great Basin communities, the Trump administration revealed a plan to reduce wildfire risk by constructing 11,000 acres of fuel breaks across public lands in parts…

Editor’s note: The TU Costa Five Rivers Program is sending five college students on a native trout odyssey across America this summer. Meet Jacob Lacy one of the five lucky participants. As a Colorado native I knew I’d end up finding something to take me outside and up to the mountains. With biking, hiking, and…
The North Star Mine in Silverton, Colo. Mining plays an important part to Colorado’s history. Many mountain towns were founded upon mining and some still rely on it as an economic driver. But it also left a legacy of damage and destruction to many headwater streams and rivers around the state. Trout Unlimited’s mine reclamation program balances maintaining the…
It was not a bad place to be looking for wildlife. There were deer, elk, and moose everywhere. Our best elk sighting was on the second to last day, when we came over a pass. Down in the valley we saw a group of about 50 elk, two bulls were fighting, their antlers clacking when they crashed together. From that exact spot at the top of the pass, we also saw a bull moose kneeling beside a lake, and four mountain goats along a ridge above him.

Participants explore native trout conservation through stakeholder engagement, process-based restoration, and hands-on fieldwork alongside TU project managers. Expeditions also include restoration projects, youth education events, and community river cleanups. And,…
Oh brother… the Snake River has apparently R-U-N-N-O-F-F. Well, most of us won’t complain if we have to play the waiting game one way or another. Guess the date that the river clears enough to fish with a dry fly, and you win… a cutthroat trout! Some folks are saying Aug. 1 is the reasonable…

As a rule of thumb, the media team at TU doesn’t talk about itself–we’re in the business of making great content and putting the spotlight on other people who fix and protect rivers. But as editor-in-chief of TU, I am grateful every day…
By Kirk Deeter Word is out that the water temperatures in some stretches of important rivers like the Roaring Fork and the Colorado have climbed above 70 degrees, and that’s not good news for trout. Water that warm stresses the fish. And if you pull them around by their faces at this time, you add…
I would generally advise not spending the day before you head to Canada for a week long fishing trip with your 13-year-old son, and other TU supporters, in another state. But that is what I did the week before last. If you worry for the future of our country, attend next year’s Pennsylvania Rivers Conservation…
