The Adams Chapter

 

Chartered in 1996, the Adams Chapter of TU includes nearly 300 men and women lucky enough to live and/or fish in this beautiful part of the Northwest Lower Peninsula of Michigan. We're right next to the Boardman, and within an hour of the Manistee, Pine, Pere Marquette, Rapid and AuSable Rivers. Most of the time we're fishing for trout, though we have steelhead, salmon and even carp fanatics. We endorse catch and release, but if you choose to keep fish, please consider "Limiting your kill rather than killing your limit." It's a large, diverse, relaxed group with everyone in agreement on one thing: It's all about preserving our cold-water resources.
