Maryland Trout Unlmited Women's Initiative

In response to TU, the Marland Chapter forged its own initiative.

Maryland TU has many dedica

ted women anglers who are committed to protecting local streams following TU’s mission to make rivers cleaner, healthier and more fishable. Currently there are about 65 women members in MDTU and the number is growing.

As a grass roots effort campaign, the MDTU Women's Initiatvie  hopes to see an increase in women involvement and work to empower new leaders to share their passion for cold water conservation. Throughout the region, the MDTU Women’s Initiative is partnering with other chapters to connect anglers trough conservation projects such as river cleanups and to engage anglers with fishing outings and clinics to improve techniques. Whether new to the sport or an experienced angler, please consider joining and gathering together for fishing and camaraderie and preserving the environment.
