PROTECTING, CONSERVING, AND RESTORING COLD WATER RESOURCES
Native trout populations and wild salmon runs are at risk of disappearing. Climate change is upon us. More than 1.5 million miles of America’s trout and salmon waters are degraded.
We are identifying rivers and streams where we can have the greatest impact, and we are throwing our energies into building trout and salmon strongholds for the long term.
WE MAKE FISHING BETTER.
Trout Unlimited makes fishing better by protecting and restoring the most important habitat for trout, right here in central Wisconsin.

Thank you Driftless Fly Shop for reminding us to clean our gear & stop spreading New Zealand mud snails. These methods are easy but removing mud snails from a stream is impossible!

We have some awesome fly shops in Wisconsin. Recently there have been announcements of two ’brick and mortar’ fly shops that are closing their doors:Fall Line Outfitters Co. in Steven’s Point and Musky Fool Fly Fishing Co. in Waunakee. We wish the best to the owners of both stores and want to thank them for supporting Wisconsin fly fishing and local conservation efforts.When you are considering buying a rod, reel, waders, boots, fly tying materials, etc - check out our WI fly shops. Many of our shops also do online sales. You may save a few bucks with some of the large online retailers, but please take time to consider supporting our WI shops.Thanks in advance for your consideration!
