The Collegiate Peaks Chapter of Trout Unlimited works in the upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado. The chapter has over 300 members. Its projects run from doing habitat restoration and stream access maintenance to advocating for responsible public policies, and working with a variety of agencies on conservation projects. We offer fly fishing classes, a middle school enrichment program called “Stream Explorers”, have a womens’ group called FlyGals, and sponsor youth fishing derbies. Volunteers put in over 3,000 hours/year. The chapter also provides up to $12,000 annually for scholarships.
We are also working on an education facility, the Ecosystem Learning Center (ELC), on the banks of the South Arkansas river.

We publish a monthly newsletter. You can read through the newsletter archive, and you can subscribe to it here.

Moonlight Pizza & Brewpub
October 9th is our Monday Moonlight Pizza non-profit day! Are you ready for some pizza, great salad & beer?! Have you visited one of our local restaurants yet this year? 10% of all sales that day will go directly to our TU chapter, which conserves, protects, and restores the cold water fisheries and their watersheds of the upper Arkansas River valley. Now is our chance to support a local business and their employees. You can easily social distance in one of their two spacious outdoor patios, as the tables are spread out at a safe distance. Come out anytime throughout the day or evening, and hopefully we can visit or talk to those TU friends we haven’t seen all summer.…
