Ann Arbor Trout Unlimited

Our Mission - To conserve, protect and restore Michigan's cold water fisheries and their watersheds including our own Huron River!

The Ann Arbor Chapter of Trout Unlimited welcomes you to view our Website and newsletter, the Reel News.

We are a friendly and active chapter. We fish together and work together. We organize several fishing trips each year as well as working trips where we practice “hands on” river habitat restoration. We also host monthly informative meetings each year, click on the Meetings / Activities tab for dates and times.

Feel free to contact us; just click on the Contact Us tab for a list of email addresses and phone numbers.

Explore the entire site and you will find that there is something for everyone. We are continually updating and adding new information. Tell us how you like it and make suggestions on how we can improve our services to you.
