If you are hoping to increase youth engagement in your local TU chapter or want to get more beginners into your club, this episode is definitely for you! On this episode of Emerging, Libby and I talked to Andrew Reichardt from the National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited. This is one of the oldest TU chapters and has some incredible history. One of the coolest aspects of this history is their recent initiative to increase youth engagement in Trout Unlimited. They have a great film called TUrnaround coming out soon so keep your eyes out for that. <a href='https://www.ncc-tu.org/'>Here</a> is a link to NCC-TU's website. 
The fisheries discussed in this episode are the traditional lands of the Piscataway, Pamunkey, Nentego (Nanichoke), Mattaponi, Chickahominy, Monacan, and Powhatan people. Click <a href='https://www.ala.org/aboutala/indigenous-tribes-washington-dc'>here</a> to learn more.
