About Rabun TU

The mission of Trout Unlimited is to conserve, protect, and restore North America’s trout and salmon fisheries and their watersheds.

Since 1986, the Rabun Chapter of Trout Unlimited, in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Georgia, has been a powerful grassroots force for conserving, protecting, and restoring the coldwater fisheries of our region. Please explore our site to learn more about the Chapter’s award-winning hands-on, policy, and public education work.

  • New Kiosks at Burrell’s Ford

    The Rabun Chapter recently donated funds to help pay for a new kiosk to be located at the Burrells Ford Bridge, near the trailhead to Ellicotts Rock. The kiosk will encourage visitors to practice “Leave No Trace” outdoor recreation. Read more here.

     

     

     

     

Prez Tammy Wins Mack Martin Rod Sweepstakes

Chapter Prez Tammy Hopton held the winning ticket at the Chapter’s annual July 11 family picnic that she won the raffle for Mack Martin’s custom-built Winston 3-weight fly rod! The rod raffle brought in more than $1,800 to support our programs. That’s a new record. We can’t thank Mack enough for his generosity in crafting and donating such a beautiful trout tickler to our Chapter.
