About Jersey Shore Trout Unlimited

The Brook Trout - New Jersey's State Fish

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 Jersey Shore Chapter was established in Oct 1989.

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.

TIC Egg Delivery Coming Up in October

Jersey Shore TU now supports over 40 schools in the wonderful Trout-In-The-Classroom program, the most of any chapter in the state. We really need your help with delivering eggs with something like one volunteer for every 3-4 schools. The date this year is still TBD, with it usually being mid-week in the 2nd or 3rd week in October (possibly October 10th this year). The rendevous time is between 10-10:30am. Deliveries must be done while the schools are open. PLEASE contact our TIC coordinator Paul Osborne ASAP if you would be available on a weekday to help with this important program. It should only require a few hours of your time.
Project Healing Waters

Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is a national organization dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying education and outings. A very active NJ group works with veterans from the VA hospital in Lyons, NJ, holding fly tying sessions and hosting fishing outings at the Pequest hatchery and other locations, and they could always use more help. Please visit the New Jersey Project Healing Waters website to find out more information about this fine program or to volunteer some of your time and talent.
