This time of year also marks our annual fundraiser for Colorado Trout Unlimited and their mine reclamation projects. Over the past 4 years we have been able to raise over $75,000 with your help to directly fund mine cleanup projects that positively affect cold clean water for the South Platte River, and all of its tributaries. We are at it again this year! Anglers All will match up to $10,000 in donations to clean up a mine site on Lion Creek, a tributary of North Empire Creek and the West Fork of Clear Creek. A link to this donation page can be found HERE. 

In 2021 we raised $20,000 to go specifically to the Grizzly Gulch Mine Project on the headwaters of Clear Creek. In September of 2023 this work was completed. The following is a quick summary of the work and its future impacts.

Protect Our Rivers is a relatively young but tenacious and fast-growing organization. We had the opportunity to sit down with founder and executive director, Sarah Nelson to chat about the organization’s rapid success, meaningful impacts, and what’s on the horizon.

The idea for Protect Our Rivers began on a float trip. And ultimately, drawing people in by creating a passion for rivers has proven to be wildly successful.

Anglers All is proud to help support American Rivers, an organization that works to protect wild rivers, restore damaged rivers and conserve clean water for people and nature. If you’re not already familiar with American Rivers, this is an organization we’d highly recommend getting to know. Check them out at AmericanRivers.org.

We recently caught up with our friend Steve White from American Rivers to learn more about the incredible work being done on behalf of rivers across the country.

Bonefish & Tarpon Trust has been driving science-based conservation, education and advocacy throughout the southeastern United States, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean for nearly 25 years. We recently had a chance to catch up with our friend Nick Roberts; he’s the marketing and communications director for Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and the editor of Bonefish & Tarpon Journal. Nick gave us the scoop on some fascinating conservation projects happening right now in some of our favorite saltwater fisheries:
