There is plenty of free parking in front of the building. We will elect directors and officers, and annual reports will be presented.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION at 7:00 pm: Presentation and panel discussion titled, "The Pilgrim River Project from Idea to Reality". The Pilgrim River Watershed Project has been a long, 12 year journey of collaboration, patience, and perseverance by many conservation partners.

  • CCCTU will undertake restoration and rehabilitation projects which repair, protect, and enhance trout habitat on inland lakes and streams of watersheds located in Michigan's Western Upper Peninsula.
  • CCCTU will support and conduct educational and informational outreach activities for its members and the general public so as to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of fishing, and the conservation of coldwater fisheries.
