As the largest river restoration effort in history moves forward, Oregon and California plan for fish reintroduction and monitoring
The Guadalupe River chapter of TU looks well beyond their state and their (engineered) river to drive important conservation changes for native trout around the nation.
EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers aim to cut protections for millions of stream miles across the United States Final “repeal” rule leaves important drinking water sources and habitat at dire risk of being unprotected from pollution, and opens the door for the expected “replacement” rule later this year which will be even worse for streams…
Fishing lore, wisdom and humor are an antidote for troubled times.
“From the very first day of this section, we could see all the way to where we would be in three days. Across a wide, high desert valley we could see a pass that we would eventually cross over to stay on the divide. To our right and in front of us there was a mountain range that the CDT climbs up into twice.”
Her infectious grayling giggles mirrored the steady stream of top-water action so well that none of us had to look to know the story
The Copper River Watershed Project (CRWP) is a local non-profit that works to keep the 26,500 square miles of the Copper River watershed free of fish passage barriers.
After 5 miles of mountain biking, I rigged up my fly rod, observed my surroundings, dapped a parachute Adams onto the surface of the 2-foot-wide creek and pulled a 15-inch Lahontan cutthroat into my net. The mountain bike wasn’t mine. I borrowed it from Dave Sarazin. He also supplied the maps, the fly recommendations and numerous teaser photos in the leadup to my trip to the…

Tom Rosenbauer teaches us all about fishing streamers. When and why to fish them, how and a bit about fly and gear selection.
Fly fishing is a great way to find peace. Being on the water, being focused on something so simple yet so complex…as fly anglers we understand this connection. Yet it took me years to understand why my father, a WWII veteran of the South Pacific, so valued fishing in his life. It wasn’t about catching…
Several years ago, I was on an early-season prospecting trip into the headwaters of the Rio Grande in south-central Colorado, on the prowl for migrating cutthroats. I found a great little meadow-stretch of water and carefully crept to the edge of the river—really just a small stream at this elevation. Peering carefully over the edge…
TU Teens of Gallipolis stays quite busy over the winter months. Students use this time to practice casting skills outside on the grass or in the gymnasium. We spend time working on knot tying skills and get familiar with the different types of flies that are used in fly fishing. Santa Claus was very generous…
Editor’s note: For more great tips on fishing from TU members across the country, get your copy of TU’s book, “Trout Tips,” available online for overnight shipping.

To accomplish this, the “partnership” in the VSP is critical to achieving this mission. One of our most significant…
Fall fishing is typically one of my favorite times to be on the water. The crowds shrink, the colors pop and the trout eat. But this fall, I’m spending more time recovering on the couch than under the cottonwoods with some meat tied to the end of my line. Recovery from my third surgery this year is going…
