Our SIC team has been working overtime to help everyone get set up and ready for the upcoming egg deliveries. Our fantastic crew of volunteers have completed the set-up and start-up of our 15 fresh water aquariums around the UP. All our tanks are now cycling water and establishing good biology prior to egg delivery.
As a part of our15 school start-up, we replaced the 5 oldest chillers/pumps and delivered a Water Python System plus 2 battery back-up aerators, and necessary operating supplies to each school. Thank you to all of our volunteers, teachers, and donors who continue to make this wonderful program so effective.

Trout Unlimited is America’s leading coldwater conservation organization. Our hope is that clear, cold, fishable water exists for generations to come, but we can’t do it without the support of committed anglers and conservationists like you .
Fred Waara Trout Unlimited needs volunteers to further its mission. Get involved in our stream restoration or youth education programs.
