TU Narragansett Fishing Reports
We now have a blog for fishing reports and summer announcements by John McCall and Dave Porecca.

Due to a death among the women involved, the June 6th Breast Cancer Program has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule for the fall.


The Narragansett Chapter, #225, of Trout Unlimited is dedicated to extending the national purpose of TU to Rhode Island trout streams. As applied to Rhode Island, this mission is to conserve the native wild brook trout and the waters it inhabits. To help achieve our mission. . . continue with mission projects, events

Our members—from throughout Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts—love the Wood River and other beautiful trout streams in our region.  In addition to activities described above, we conduct fly tying classes, casting and fly fishing instruction in local schools, and outreach programs such as our fly casting and fly tying classes for women cancer survivors.  Our Trout Unlimited Chapter is anxious to attract new young members.  We are drafting a program to teach fly fishing and fly tying to prospective members in exchange for their joining our Chapter.

The Narragansett Chapter of TU meets the last Wednesday of each month, with streamside meetings in the summer at the Check Station on the Wood River. Meetings give members an opportunity to discuss conservation projects socialize, and see prersentations by experts and local members. When TU members are not volunteering, you can often find them fly fishing on the Wood River and other local waterways.

Lawson Carey

In Memory of Lawson Cary

Our Chapter President and long time all around leader had been in declining health. He persevered with his admirable work until, literally, his heart gave out.

Lawson had a clear vision of where he wanted our Chapter to put its environmental efforts. Among his accomplish- ments has been the raising of awareness of the Wood River system as a special watershed. He influenced DEM practices on the river, supervised habitat restoration along it and, in the process, left it a better place.

Lawson loved the wild native brook trout. He fished for them from the time he was a boy. There are trails to streams that were originally blazed by Lawson’s early traipses through the woods. It was his purpose to see the Wood system be made more hospitable to its natives.

Lawson spearheaded the TU Chapter’s participation in the Stream Continuity Project. This is an ongoing data collection effort which will establish a repository of information, pictures, and comments on nearly every stream intersection with road or path, and every stream culvert, in the state. Already this data is being used in habitat restoration. We expect that down the road it will lead to the opening of many miles of stream to improved fish and creature migration.
