The Trout Unlimited Costa 5 Rivers Program is a community of over 140 College conservation–focused angling clubs around the country that seeks to engage the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts through recreational fishing and advocacy for the fisheries that unite us.
Over the past year, clubs around the country have had to retool to not only keep members engaged while dealing with restrictions brought on by Covid-19. 5 Rivers is no different. Over the past year, we have pivoted to provide more online resources for young anglers across the country. Below you will find a few of the initiatives we are doing to engage younger anglers.
