History
Our founders were anglers. By history and by nature, we are optimists. Founded in 1959 on the banks of the Au Sable River near Grayling, Mich., by a handful of anglers united by their love of wild trout and their growing disenchantment with the state’s practice of stocking its waters with cookie-cutter hatchery trout. Convinced…
Great Lakes Stream Restoration-Wisconsin
A majority of Wisconsin’s 115 fish species, including native brook trout, need to move throughout a watershed seasonally or at varying stages in their lifecycle to feed, find cooler water, avoid predators and reach spawning habitat.

Population Viability Analysis
Population viability analysis (PVA) is a powerful conservation tool, but one remaining unapproachable for many species because of the amount of data required to build useful models. This is especially true for species occurring in multiple populations, each of which requires a separate PVA. With NASA and other partner funding, Trout Unlimited and a host…
