Our mission is to conserve, protect and restore High Country coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.

Trout Unlimited believes that conservation should be a true partnership between landowners, agencies, municipalities, and all stakeholders. We work to protect critical habitat, to reconnect degraded waterways, and restore populations to coldwater fisheries. Through sound science, we inform our priorities with critical data on the health of these fisheries.

The High Country Trout Unlimited Chapter serves within the Ashe, Avery, and Watauga counties of Northwestern North Carolina. 

Chapter meetings are held on the second Monday of the month, at 7pm, at Appalachian Mountain Brewery in Boone.
