Welcome to the Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter
WILD TROUT ARE OUR PASSION. COLD WATER FISHERIES ARE OUR CAUSE. HEALTHY WATERS ARE OUR GOAL.
TU’s mission is to conserve, protect, restore, and sustain North America’s trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds. “Take care of the fish and the fishing will take care of itself.” This simple idea launched TU in 1959 and it inspires us still.
Started in 1959 by 16 anglers in Grayling, Michigan who wanted to protect their local river, Trout Unlimited has grown to 300,000 members in almost 400 local chapters throughout the country. Today, TU employs professional scientists, grassroots organizers, lawyers and policy experts, who, together with its grassroots membership and volunteer activists, make TU the nation’s leading river and fisheries conservation organization.
Anyone with the good fortune to fish our fabled Catskill streams does not soon forget the experience. Frequented by angling legends like Theodore Gordon, Lee Wulff, and Art Flick, our waters have historical importance as the “Cradle of American Fly Fishing.” For fifty years, Trout Unlimited has played a leading role in protecting waters like these — the trout and salmon fisheries that are among America’s great national treasures.
