When the dams were built it was thought that hatcheries would produce “replacement” salmon and steelhead to make up for the loss of natural production. Since then, our scientific understanding of what hatcheries can and can’t do has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, we now know definitively that hatcheries can’t substitute for wild salmon
Some things aren’t meant to last a lifetime. It was a good run of nearly six years, but I think it’s time to part ways with an old friend.
I’m not a superstitious person but this raft trailer is cursed. I’m sure of it which is why I’ve chosen to cut it loose on the open market.
The trick to knowing what you’re going to catch before you catch it, is knowing what lives in the river. Of course. Some people, however, have dialed it in a bit more. For example, they know the rainbows like the riffles in certain places on the Colorado River, whereas the browns hug the banks and

Near the dramatic jagged peaks of the Teton mountains sits Jackson Lake Dam.
Upper Klamath Lake and one of the many fine spring creeks in this area. By Sam Davidson My first fishing experience on a true spring creek was in the upper Klamath River basin in southern Oregon. I knew little ab out such waters in those days. I took a detour while on a long road
Proposed Rock Springs resource management plan balances conservation and energy development ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. – Today, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a draft resource management plan (RMP) for the Rock Springs Field Office, located in southwest Wyoming. The area is home to the Greater Little Mountain Area, a 500,000-acre region prized by hunters
Steps to reduce climate warming emissions are urgently needed to avert the most devastating harms that climate change could wreak on trout and salmon habitat
There’s no better time to start
Growing up as a midwestern kid from the suburbs I didn’t know much about the outdoors. Being from Ohio we didn’t camp a lot. Rivers were a bit foreign to our family of six. Don’t get me wrong, we fished, swam and rode bikes until the streetlights came on but there’s nothing in that equation that prepared me for navigating moving water.

Editor’s note: Building off the success of last year’s Native Odyssey campaign, Trout Unlimited is sending four of our brightest college club leaders in the TU Costa 5 Rivers Program to explore the home of the world’s largest runs of wild salmon: Alaska. Starting July 5, these students will explore the Kenai Peninsula, Bristol Bay
The guys at Trouts Fly Shop in Denver hit the Colorado River recently, and they did some serious damage to the river’s lively browns and rainbows using baetis imitations. Baetis, often imitated in the dun form by the venerable Blue-winged Olive, are great springtime flies, and among the first mayflies to emerge and hatch when
Adopt-a-trout is an opportunity for students to participate in hands-on, real-life fisheries science. The program begins with a field day of fish tagging and related curriculum on-site with local students. Trout receive telemetry tags and are “adopted” by local students. The adopted trout’s movement is then monitored throughout the school year. Adopt-a-Trout is unique in the way that
A fishery management plan being developed for southwest Oregon coastal rivers has generated debate over whether to temporarily reduce or prohibit harvest of wild steelhead. TU’s Kyle Smith has a suggestion.
Chancing upon this video Josh Duplechian produced to show how TU is working with the U.S. Forest Service and numerous other partners to dramatically help the Greys River reminded me of a very special road trip I took with the late, great Charlie Meyers. It was back in 2007, and Charlie called to tell (not ask)
Genetic diversity is an important component of population resiliency, providing a varied toolbox fish rely on to adapt to a changing environment. Small, isolated populations inevitably lose genetic variability over time and become more distinctive genetically from other populations. Simply by characterizing genetic patterns within and among populations across a landscape, then, we can glean
The goal of Trout Unlimited’s Chewuch River Permanent Instream Flow Project is to reduce the effects of irrigation withdrawals on late summer through winter low-flows in the lower eight miles of the Chewuch River.
