Michigan Trout Unlimited is the coordination and representation for 21 local chapters of TU and over 7,000 individuals, devoted to the conservation, protection and restoration of Michigan's coldwater fish and their watersheds. Michigan is blessed with a vast wealth of wonderful and unique trout streams, over 11,000 inland lakes, and the largest sources of cold freshwater in North America - the Great Lakes. Michigan TU does whatever it takes to advocate for the prudent management of these resources, including on-the-ground stream improvements, angler & steward education, research, partnerships and collaboration with other conservation groups and governmental agencies, and policy development. Michigan is the birthplace of Trout Unlimited, and Michigan TU continues that proud heritage with its work today.

The Michigan Trout Unlimited Fly Fishing School is indeed one of the country's finest. The school runs from Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. Beginners are instructed in the basics of fly casting and fly fishing and are introduced to a wide variety of angling interests. Experienced fly fishers will improve their skills, technique and knowledge of the sport. Even experts are sure to learn something new.
The School's courteous and highly talented instructors provide challenging and constructive guidance to students of all skill levels. More importantly, there are plenty of instructors on hand to assure very personalized attention.
Three levels of instruction are offered. The beginner level of instruction is for people who have never tried fly casting before. Intermediate instruction is designed for those with some fly fishing experience who want to brush up on fundamentals and casting techniques while learning more about their application. Advanced instruction is reserved for those whose skills are proficient and who want to learn more challenging techniques and methods.
