Thanks NGTO for your support!

Every Trout Unlimited Chapter and Fly Fishing Club in North Georgia is supporting Back-the-Brookie this year! Over $12,000 has been donated to conserve, protect and restore native brook trout. The money will fund the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV) intern program. Interns work with GA DNR and USFS in the Chattahoochee National Forest building habitat structures, restoring native brook trout and evaluating habitat enhancement from previous years.

Special thanks from EBTJV partners GA TU Back-the-Brookie, GA DNR and USFS to:

It's great to partner with other TU Chapters, NGTO, Georgia Women Flyfishers, Boy Scouts, and all the other like-minded groups that support B-T-B. Getting out there in the woods, seeing and meeting folks, and doing so much good at the same time is fun and personally rewarding. Thanks to Kevin and our hard working DNR and USFS experts who guide us and sweat and toil beside us.

If this is not familiar to you, you need to come out and do it!

Of all the things that NGTO supports via our non-profit donations each year, the Back the Brookie program is probably the one that I consider the most foundational to achieving our mission statement.

Please do all you can to provide your time, talent, and financial support for the Back the Brookie program!
