Mission Statement:

The Denver Chapter is a metro Denver Trout Unlimited chapter. Its support is drawn from the city’s downtown and northern suburbs.  We have a membership that is diverse in terms of age and interests.  DTU espouses and promotes the mission of Trout Unlimited to preserve, protect and restore North America’s cold water fisheries and their watersheds.  DTU sponsors presentations about Colorado fishing and environmental concerns during chapter meetings.  Meetings are held nine months a year at the REI Flagship store in Denver

This is Denver Colorado and a river runs through it.  The South Platte was once a sparkling gem issuing from the foothills of the Rockies.  It was home to indigenous fish and wildlife and a resource for native plains peoples.  Today it has degraded to a flood control and irrigation conduit.  DTU has adopted a long term goal to turn this last unreclaimed major Colorado river into an asset for the city of Denver and its citizens.  Our objective is to restore aquatic and riparian habitat thus making the river a recreational destination and a refuge for fish and wildlife.
