About Us
Trout Unlimited, a national organization of over 150,000 members, is dedicated to conserving, protecting and restoring North America’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Its vision is to ensure that robust populations of native and wild coldwater fish once again thrive within their North American range, so that our children can enjoy healthy fisheries in their home waters.
The Truchas Chapter works to carry out TU’s vision in the waters of northern New Mexico through our conservation projects, youth programs, fundraising efforts, communications, and advocacy.

Conservation and Community Activities
Expanded our Trout in the Classroom program from 8 to 15 schools – covering pueblo, charter and public schools in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Pecos, Eldorado, Las Vegas and Penasco. Students get environmental, water chemistry and fish biology lessons raising them from eggs to fry to young fish, and learn about the macro-invertebrates (small insects that trout eat) that signal healthy streams when they have field trips in the spring to release their fish.
Provide funding for Riversource, a locally owned organization that promotes good stewardship of local waterways through youth education and ecological restoration projects
