VAIL VALLEY, Colorado — Rivers may look alike on maps, but the people who fish those Vail Valley streams know better. That's one reason the Eagle Valley has its own Trout Unlimited chapter again.

Trout Unlimited, an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting coldwater fisheries around the county, has had a presence in Eagle County almost since its founding 50 years ago. In fact, the local chapter was among the first 10 created in the country.
