New Chapter Boundaries - For the most part TU members aren’t too territorial. Recent changes in the makeup of the Vermont Trout Unlimited Council, though, have led to some modifications to the map of TU chapter coverage areas. We welcome to the family the "David and Francis Smith Northeast Kingdom Chapter of Vermont Trout Unlimited." With the revival of this TU chapter, areas served by adjacent chapters have been reassigned. If you’re a CVTU member residing in one of the few small areas affected, you probably won’t notice the change: chapter affiliations won’t be transferred. And regardless of where one’s chapter headquarters might be, Vermont waters welcome folks from every corner of the state and beyond!

Attention Anglers and Friends of Anglers- applications are currently being accepted for the 12th annual Vermont Trout Camp for Teens, sponsored by Trout Unlimited, and well-known industry leaders like Orvis, Cortland Line, LL Bean, & Patagonia. Media depictions of fly fishing regularly tell us that fly fishing is not only the most conservative way to fish, but also the most fun. This program for teens between the ages of 13-16, will be held June 23-27, at the beautiful Quimby Country in Averill, VT. Details on the Camp and applications are available at the website- www.vermonttroutcamp.com. This is a marvelous opportunity for young people to learn to experience the out-of-doors to the fullest.
