Spring is coming and so are those days spent along a fishy stretch of a favorite river. Not only is it a great time of year to get outside, it is a wonderful season for passing on the love of fly fishing, trout, and the special places they live. TU chapters across the country are all about the next... [ READ MORE... ]

By Eric Booton For better or worse, my wife and I are trying a diet. We aren’t the “diet type,” in that we don’t jump around from diet to diet or generally adhere to a strict diet. Currently though, we are aiming...

Voices from the River: For the kids 
Posted in
By Toner Mitchell We in the conservation community are correct to plead the cause of saving the environment for future generations. It’s a fundamental survival instinct common to all life forms, even, as many have argued, to genes. A gold mine at the Bristol Bay headwaters means death, opposing it... [ READ MORE... ]

Voices from the River: Stages of hunting and fishing ... and conservation 
Posted in

This is a short Vimeo trailer on the Driftless Area of Southern Wisconsin where the Teen Summit was held this past summer.    https://vimeo.com/ondemand/hotd
