Among many fly fishers, there is a positive – albeit somewhat nebulous – perspective on Trout Unlimited. They know that the conservation work and the cold water resource advocacy happens, but that might be the extent of it unless there has been a personal connection or proactive involvement in a local chapter.

John Ross’ Rivers of Restoration is a great way to get to know TU. Through 20 or so short chapters, Ross walks the reader through some of the most significant conservation projects. The snapshots span ecological issues, river sizes, and locations in the USA. Furthermore, the book is chock full of excellent photography.

Whether you are an active member of TU, a fly fishing history buff, or a conservationist, Rivers of Restoration is worth seeking out and adding to your bookshelf.
