Trout Unlimited 2017 Annual Report TROUT UNLIMITED 2017 ANNUAL REPORT FISHING CONSERVATION AND SCIENCE COMMUNITY The work that Trout Unlimited does to make our nation’s watersheds more resilient in the face of development and Dear Reader: a changing climate also makes our communities stronger. For example, when we protect public land, we reduce downstream drinking water On behalf of Trout Unlimited’s 300,000 members and supporters, 220 professional staff, and our trustees and grassroots leaders, we want to share with you the 2017 Trout Unlimited annual report. We realize that filtration costs. When we reconnect rivers to their flood plains, we reduce the effects of downstream flooding. When we restore rivers, we annual reports are essentially ritualized bragging, and should be generally read as such. Please consider these produce thousands of high-paying family wage jobs in rural communities. When we help wounded veterans to heal through fishing, teach kids to numbers, however, before you dismiss this one: fish and train the next generation of conservation stewards, we make the world a better place. • 1,164 miles of streams protected. • 737 miles of streams reconnected. • 361 miles of streams restored. P Protect: That is what Trout Unlimited accomplished on-the-ground in 2017. Aldo Leopold, who we like to think was We protect the highest quality rivers and streams— the intellectual predicate for that dozen or so people who first met on the banks of the Au Sable 59 years ago and the sources of cold, clean water. founded Trout Unlimited, once said: “The only thing that matters is progress on the landscape of the back 40.” It is difficult to think of an organization that accomplishes more on that landscape than Trout Unlimited. R Reconnect: What do these big numbers mean for the places we live and love? Because fish need to move in response to floods, fire, drought, In the Driftless Area—the unglaciated portion of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois—we have accom- and, in some cases, their lifecycles, we reconnect high-quality plished more than 100 miles of restoration in the past 10 years, including 20 this past year.

We could tell you ment for coldwater fish. story after story about once-dead, now-recovered landscapes because of Trout Unlimited. We have a national tendency toward forgetfulness in this country. We see it reflected in how we treat the elderly and those who served our nation’s flag. Relative to conservation, that lends itself to an “out-of-sight- out-of-mind” perspective. How else to explain tolerance for abandoned mines, dry western rivers, disregard for public lands, and loss of protection of headwater streams under the Clean Water Act and in places such as Bristol Bay, Alaska? Trout Unlimited never forgets. Instead, in thousands of communities across our great country, our mem- bers and staff work quietly and patiently to bring people together to apply common sense to common problems for the common good. We literally build community in a fractured world. And in so doing, we make your fishing better. Consider the fact that our 400 chapters and councils this past year donated over 730,000 hours of service to the places they live and love. 730,000 hours. That represents a passel of volunteers who educated state and federal legislators about clean water. That represents tens of thousands of kids who learned about the wonder of S Sustain: nature. That represents thousands of veterans whose lives have been made better through our Veteran’s Service We sustain this work over time by investing Partnership because of time on the water and fly-tying. Most important is that those veterans—and all of us who in kids, volunteers, fight to protect the places we live, love, and fish—are welcomed into the hundreds of communities built by Trout veterans, and the Unlimited volunteers across the country. communities in which That is the secret sauce of Trout Unlimited. No-one, no-one does a better job of protecting, reconnecting, we live. and restoring the places you love to fish—and by so doing to make these areas more resilient to a changing -cli mate—but our work to rebuild the communities that make America great truly distinguishes us.

    The Water Column Freestone Aquatics Monthly Newsletter Photo Essay of the Month South Island New Zealand February and March 2005 Freestone Aquatics www.freestoneaquatics.com Take a Kid Fishing by Luke Kelly Large, wild brown and rainbow trout are crashing the surface, and hundreds of huge salmon flies fill the air. This is why we are here. It’s a beautiful June day, and I was with three good friends scrambling down the well named “SOB” trail into the Black Canyon of The Gunnison River. It’s an extremely impressive canyon; simply driving the rim of the canyon is worth the trip itself. The trial is more like a rappel in spacesuits. There are several sections of down climbing that makes this a much less popular trail, but the reward at the bottom of the canyon is worth the effort. As if the steepness isn’t enough, there are also many areas filled with poison ivy, so my companions and I are wearing pants, long sleeves, and gloves, with wrist and ankles duct taped and all! As we finally approached the river, the explosive rises of fish came into focus. We also noticed another camper set up, and was a bit surprised to see no one fishing. When we dumped our packs and the excitement really set in, it re- minding me of my younger days of die-hard fishing. I was taking off the duct tape from my ridiculous outfit, and I saw our camper friends sitting in the shade. It was a father and son, and I noticed a couple of spinning rods leaning against a nearby cottonwood tree.
