New year, new us? 

The new year can be a time of reflection and reawakening. This past year, CTU celebrated it’s 50th anniversary and reflected on the organization’s past accomplishments for Colorado’s rivers and trout. Now, with the new year and start of a new decade, we are looking forward with an eye towards growth. National Trout Unlimited is calling the 2020s a decade of recovery. “Whether its good for our health, our souls, or the rivers and streams we love, let’s make the 2020s a decade of recovery,” wrote Chris Wood, CEO of TU. 

At CTU, we recognize that our past and future accomplishments rely on all of you who help us meet our mission to conserve, protect, and restore. In this next year and beyond, we aspire to create a more diverse and collaborative environment that will expand our mission to new audiences and include every stakeholder when it comes to clean water, healthy fisheries and access to public lands.  We've been making a difference for trout for over 50 years - but with your help, we are just getting started.

Anglers All and Below the Canopy Present: Truchón

NEW fly fishing film! Presented by Anglers All and Below the Canopy Media, this destination angling film is set in Chilean Patagonia. The Greenbacks of Colorado Trout Unlimited screened the film at their Field Season Kickoff party back on May 31. Don't worry if you missed it, because you can watch the full feature below.  

Presenting “Truchón!" This destination angling film set in Chilean Patagonia is all about saving up, stepping out of the regular routine and immersing yourself in the capable hands of Cinco Ríos Lodge! Filmed in the Spring of 2017, “Truchón” is a short glimpse into the vast angling opportunities for Trout & Salmon that exist in an area with more terrain variety then just about anywhere on the planet. During the on-location production for Anglers All Travel & Cinco Rios Lodge, angler/filmmakers Doug Garvey & Davis James experienced a full solar eclipse, low flying Andean Condors & open pit cooking amongst their filming and fishing schedule! In case your wondering, “Truchón” translates into English as “Big ole Brown Trout!” Filmed and Edited by Davis James Additional Filming by Doug Garvey Anglers: Doug Garvey & Davis James Guiding by Cinco Rios Lodge Produced by Chris Keely & Davis James Audio Mix & Design by Daryl Eakins
