Our mission is to get everyone out on the river.
The New River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NRTU) works to improve trout fisheries in the New River Valley region of Virginia. This region contains a richness of beautiful streams and fragile ecosystems that has the potential to support sustainable enjoyment for generations to come. The members of NRVTU recognize the fragile balance that exists between the natural wonders of our coldwater resources and those who spend time near them–both during recreation and in day-to-day life. We believe that truly sustainable solutions exist, both economically and environmentally, that may allow humans to foster the trout fisheries in the New River Valley.
