Brook trout are the only trout native to the eastern United States. Their numbers have diminished over the past decades to levels that threaten their extirpation in many areas. Trout Unlimited has initiated a program – Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture – to restore these beautiful fish to portions of their original range. The Appalachian Chapter of Trout Unlimited (Chattanooga Area) has been working with a number of partners to restore brook trout to streams in the Tellico Area on the Cherokee National Forest.

 In April, we'll have fly casting instruction, casting competitions, and hot dogs. We'll have several fly rods to use, but it you have one to bring, please bring it. If the weather is a problem, we will have fly tying demonstrations.

The Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is the only trout native to the Southern Appalachian Mountains. One of nature's most exquisite forms of art, the fish's brilliant colors and intricate patterns are a small miracle. In the clean, cold, crystal clear streams these fish call home, they are a living jewel, sprinkled and scattered throughout mountainous waters in the Southern Appalachians. Their presence in a stream is a sign of good water quality and a healthy, functional watershed. |
