Maine Fly Fishing Show
The Maine Council of Trout Unlimited is pleased to announce that the 2011 Maine Fly Fishing Show was a great success and will be bigger and better in 2012.
Thanks to all the vendors who attended, the TU members who worked very hard to make this happen, all the folks who donated items to our silent auction and to all who enjoyed the day and helped fund the 2012 Maine TU Trout Camp.
Our Mission in the State of Maine
The Maine Council of Trout Unlimited’s mission is to conserve, protect
and restore Maine’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
Our mission is to conserve, protect and restore Maine’s coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. We do this with five Maine chapters and about 1500 member-volunteers, through on-the-ground restoration projects, advocacy for the waters we love, and education. Maine is home to the nation’s last Atlantic salmon, the last native landlocked salmon and to more than 97% of the nation’s native and wild brook trout ponds.
From the removal of dams on the Kennebec and Penobscot River’s to surveys of remote beaver ponds for native brook trout that deserve protection, Maine TU volunteers are working for our waters and fish. To keep our programs flourishing and our waters healthy we need your support.
Please take a few minutes and support one or more of our ongoing programs. Click here to download a donation form and specify what you'd like your dollars to support.
Brook Trout Interactive Map
The Maine Brook Trout Waters Interactive Map was developed to educate, enlighten and assist conservationists and anglers in locating and mapping Maine's Brook Trout and their watersheds.
This Google Earth application allows users to readily locate Wild and Native Brook Trout Waters and the most current open water fishing regulations. We plan to periodically add additional layers as they become available. We think you will enjoy this user-friendly resource and hope that it helps with your next fishing trip to or within the State of Maine.

Brook Trout Pond Survey
Collect scientific data; contribute to brook trout conservation; put a new trout pond on the map—and all you’ve got to do is go fishing! Maine has hundreds of small and remote ponds that have never been surveyed by professional biologists. If we don’t know what’s there, we can’t manage it effectively.
Beginning in 2011, TU is teaming with Maine Audubon and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to use volunteers to collect data on these ponds. All you’ve got to do is find a way in there, fish the pond and fill out a form. Click here to go to the Brook Trout Pond Survey Project.
