WE INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION – HELP US INVEST IN THE FUTURE
The Stonefly Society chapter of TU is proud to participate in Utah’s “Trout in the Classroom” program. Of approximately 72 classrooms that participated in the program statewide during the 2024-25 school year, 28 of those classrooms were supported by Stonefly’s member-volunteers. In addition, Stonefly, in cooperation with other TU chapters in Utah, organizes an annual three day “Trout Camp” for young people between the ages of 12-17, which is designed to teach the basics of fly fishing, fly tying and entomology to the participants. The Camp also is staffed by TU volunteer-members.

HEADWATERS YOUTH PROGRAM
TU’s Headwaters Youth Program contains a developmental model called the “Stream of Engagement” that strives to provide opportunities for involvement at all ages and interest levels. Some programs like Trout in the Classroom and STREAM Girls put a heavy focus on watershed-based STEM learning, while others like the TU Summer Trout Camps and Academies serve as Fly Fishing 101 experiences for teen participants. With an evolving high school club program and college capstone called the TU 5 Rivers on over 100 college campuses across the U.S. we are keeping youth connected to conservation into adulthood.
Headwaters also offers youth memberships, Stream Explorers (ages 12 and under) and TU Teens (ages 13 to 17), that contain fun elements such as a trout-focused kids’ magazine, Stream Explorers and Teen stickers, and fun premium items like hats, books and logoed youth fly rods.
