True North Trout strives to be a one-stop resource for information and insight on fly angling for trout, char and related salmonids along the storied waters of Northern Michigan and the Upper Great Lakes bioregion. Content comes from a variety of sources, but includes contributions from field editors and writers who represent, and are active in, the fly fishing life.
True North Trout also provides links and referrals to other quality sources of information via a links resource, and provides a bulletin board service where anglers can share and discuss their experiences on and off the water.
If you are interested in contributing to True North Trout, feel free to contact the editors at admin (at) truenorthtrout (dot) com. Contributions can take the form of articles, interviews, how-to and instructional content, profiles of rivers, people, fly patterns, etc., or contributions of creative nonfiction, poetry, photography, or art.
Contributions remain the property of the contributor, and True North Trout does not require exclusive right to publish in order that those contributions be considered.
