"Go Fund Trout 2024"

The Go Fund Trout is Chapter’s focus to raise funds to stock trout in the northern main Oconto River at public access points from Suring to County BB south of Gillett. This stretch of Oconto is less than ideal cold water for trout reproduction and is stockable with WDNR permit. Many of these trout move up stream into the North and South Branches during the warm water summer months. This project started in 2015 has been one of the most appreciated and most popular of all the many things the Oconto River Chapter participates in. Each year stocking has consisted approximately 1,000 brown and rainbow trout of keep able sizes of 9-14 inches in length.

The Chapter starts with a donation of $1000 is seeking donations from members, sponsors, businesses, sportsmen’s and community organizations who feel this a worthy cause. "Go Fund Trout" has a goal of $3500 by April 15th. Donations can be mailed to Chapter address. Please note on your check “Fund Trout”. If you have questions on anything, please go to our web site www.ocontorivertu.com and select “Contact us” to send a message or contact a Chapter Leader. Thank you for what you do for TU.
