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.
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!!

Volunteer Opportunities...
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.
