Who we are

Trout Unlimited was founded in 1959 in Grayling, Michigan on the banks of the Au Sable River by a group of conservation-minded anglers. Today, TU is the nation’s leading coldwater conservation organization. 

Our mission

To bring together diverse interests to care for and recover rivers and streams so our children can experience the joy of wild and native trout and salmon.   

Our vision

For communities across America to engage in the work of repairing and renewing the rivers, streams and other waters on which we all depend. 

While the threats to our rivers and streams are enormous, we are matching our effort to the scale of the problem.

Together, we do big things every day.
