    There’s more to fishing than fishing. VCTU’s 4,000 members are actively engaged in protecting, restoring, reconnecting, and sustaining cold water fisheries in the Commonwealth. Our work helps ensure continuing supplies of clean water for agricultural, residential, and industrial use. And it improves and perpetuates the quality of trout fishing for ourselves and the generations to follow. We achieve our goals through conservation, education, and advocacy.

    With more than 2,500 miles of brook, brown, and rainbow trout streams, Virginia offers some of the best angling in the Southeast. For native brook trout, Shenandoah National Park cannot be beat. You’ll find great browns in Mossy Creek near Bridgewater. If rainbows are your favorite, make tracks to the headwaters of the South Fork of the Holston east or Marion.
