We appreciate and need your support for our continued efforts to provide education, habitat and conservation work for the waters in which you, your family and friends fish. If you have any questions about donating to the White River T.U. #698 please contact Kevin Brandtonies at 870-656-1149 or send an email to address above.
 
Successful fund-raising efforts allow this all volunteer chapter to provide programs that focus on TU’s four primary objectives: Protect, Reconnect, Restore, and Sustain cold water fisheries.  Bonneville Cutthroat Trout egg planting; habitat work on the North Fork and White rivers; equipment for Trout in the Classroom program, our summer Youth Camp and smaller projects through-out the year.
 
Thankl you to all the sponsors who guarantee our event is a success!
