The Trout Unlimited Emerald Necklace Chapter spans North-Eastern Ohio. With the city of Cleveland as its central location point, the Chapter meets on the first Tuesday of each month from Fall through Spring.

The north shore of Ohio is home to two very different trout fisheries; namely, Lake Erie Steelhead and native Ohio Brook Trout. The former represents an exciting opportunity to catch huge lake-run steelhead; the latter (brook trout) represents a serious conservation challenge within the Chagrin River watershed. To learn more about our Chapter's activities, please follow the links on this page.

Our Chapter is lead by a Board of Directors who meet throughout the year to plan and organize events, fund raisers, and vote on funding issues and conservation projects.

The Board of Directors are all volunteers who have been active in the Chapter. If you have a suggestion for a project or are interested in being considered to fill future vacancies on the Board, please contact Jim Augustyn, Chapter President by using the "Contacts Us" page above.
