The Brooktrout - New Jersey's State Fish

Jersey Shore Chapter of Trout Unlimited

Trout Unlimited's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America's trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds. It is a private, non-profit organization with 125,000 members in 500 chapters nationwide.

The members of the Jersey Shore Chapter of Trout Unlimited primarily reside in the central New Jersey coastal counties of Monmouth and Ocean. Our conservation activities include yearly stream cleanups and helping with the Sea Run Brown Trout stocking program run by the New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife. Our members enjoy both fresh and saltwater fly fishing, and the chapter runs a variety of trips and educational activities throughout the year.


Don't forget - renew now for 2008!

Our meetings now start at 7:30 P.M. with the program beginning at 8:00 P.M. Fly tying still starts at 7:00 P.M.

Remember - No regular monthly meetings in July and August!!

Teachers - Ask us about TU's "Trout in the Classroom" program!

Check out this presentation on the Trout in the Classroom program at Sparta Middle School. Note: This is a very large Adobe Acrobat PDF file, so a high speed Internet connection (or a lot of patience...) is recommended to view this presentation.

Volunteer Opportunities...

Trout in the Classroom
The Jersey Shore Chapter of Trout Unlimited will again be helping several area teachers during the coming school year with Trout-in-the-Classroom (TIC) programs in local schools, and we need volunteers! This program is growing rapidly, and we really could use your help - our chapter will be supporting many more schools than last year. If you're interested in helping the TIC program, PLEASE contact our new TIC coordinator Ken DeVory. Many of the tasks occur during the school day, so if you can spend a few days here and there to help out, it would be sincerely appreciated. This is a great opportunity to get involved and help out with a really great program.
