Who We Are
We are 500+ volunteers in one of 56 Trout Unlimited Chapters in Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth has over 9,000 TU members interested in the protection of our wild trout resources. We restore streams through habitat improvement projects, conduct seminars on water quality and fisheries management. We work to educate the next generation about the importance of clean water and wild trout. We invite you to join us.
We're more than "just a fishing organization." The work we accomplish is equally important to all those who enjoy outdoor sports or simply the beauty of nature. In fact, clean water is the lifeblood of virtually every creature and plant on earth.
Come join us as we enjoy and protect our local limestone streams. Our waters are recognized by serious trout fishermen around the country and overseas. The Letort is here, as is the Yellow Breeches. We also are blessed with Green Spring and Big Spring.

CVTU has now published a book, CVTU's Favorite Flies - Fifty-three Productive Fly Patterns from Cumberland Valley Trout Unlimited. When Fly of the Month was inaugurated in our monthly newsletter, members were challenged. "Do you have a secret weapon that you want to share with your fellow CVTU members? Do you have an invention that the trout just can't resist? Submit your favorite pattern...". The members responded, and this book is a compilation of over five years of Fly of the Month patterns. Some are classics, some are flies adapted from other areas that have been successful here, and some are inventions of the contributors. All are proven patterns that will be worthy additions to your fly box. Books may be purchased at monthly members meetings. The book is 6" x 9", 86 pages, and spiral bound to lay flat on your tying desk. Books are now in stock! To order by mail, click on "Order Form".

Our May meeting program will feature Eric Stroup, noted guide and author, giving us the low-down information on techniques, rigging and tactics for a variety of conditions that make angling for trout difficult. Eric will be signing books and also have his latest one for sale. An added attraction is that we will be auctioning off a half day (5 hours fishing) guided package for two anglers on the Little Juniata with Eric. All flies, terminal gear, and beverages are provided, and the package can be used for fishing an evening hatch. (Arrangements are by mutual agreement, and there is No Cash Value to the package,
regardless of any auction price paid.) We look forward to seeing you at the Allenberry Meadow Lodge.
