Fly Fishing is a passion for many of us, serving as a major focus for the Monadnock Chapter of Trout Unlimited. The wild trout of southwestern New Hampshire - the native eastern Brook trout - are at the heart of the local fly fishing tradition. They embody the mission of Trout Unlimited in our local waters.

• We use fly fishing as a way to foster a love of the environment and the wild trout which inhabit it.
• We use it as a way to bring people together, to learn new skills and improve existing ones, whether it is fly casting, reading the water, or the finer points of fooling wily trout with an artificial fly.
• We do it because it is not only fun, but profoundly satisfying.

Fly Tying is directly related to the education mission of the Monadnock Chapter of Trout Unlimited in southwestern New Hampshire.

• We use fly tying to teach people about natural resources, entomology, and of course how trout relate to their primary food source.
• We use fly tying as a social event, as a way to connect with youngsters and adults alike.
• Most of all, we do it because it's fun as you can see in our ongoing projects and events.
