We are the National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NCC-TU), the eleventh Trout Unlimited Chapter formed nationwide, and the original and largest local chapter serving the Washington, DC region. NCC-TU is a non-profit organization established to protect, enhance, and restore coldwater fishing resources of North America, particularly those in the Mid-Atlantic region. Your participation and support are welcomed at both the local and national levels. Established over 40 years ago, Trout Unlimited (TU), our national organization, is today composed of 125,000 grassroots volunteers in 500 local chapters nationwide. TU's mission is to conserve, protect and restore North America’s trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds. TU accomplishes this mission with an extensive and dedicated volunteer network organized into local Chapters such as NCC-TU. NCC-TU members are active throughout the region in many conservation and education projects, which include habitat conservation and restoration, summer conservation youth camps, programs for recovering wounded military personnel, and other projects. We formerly published a monthly electronic newsletter, Riffles, to keep our members informed of issues and events relevant to the Chapter's mission but recently are using the website for our major communications. NCC-TU also organizes an annual National Capital Angling Show every March. Now in it's third decade, the National Capital Angling Show is the original Mid-Atlantic fly-fishing show. The Show is an annual all-volunteer effort by avid fly-fishers and anglers who support and enjoy working for fisheries conservation. All proceeds from the Show and other activities go to fisheries conservation and education projects. NCC-TU chapter meetings are held on the second Wednesdays of October, November, January, February, April, and May each year, at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Services Center at 4805 Edgemoor Lane in downtown Bethesda, Maryland. For more information on our meetings and activities, see our Activities Page.
