Mason-Griffith
FOUNDERS Chapter #001
Where It All Began
It was here, this section of the Au Sable River, that inspired and witnessed the creation of one of the most important cold water conservation organizations in the world. Trout Unlimited was envisioned by George Mason, who shared the idea with George Griffith in 1949 as they were walking into the river for a day’s fishing adventure. A decade later, 16 men assembled at Griffith’s cabin on the Au Sable, the Barbless Hook, and made Mason’s vision a reality.

“MGFTU decided a number of years ago that the focus of our chapter would be ‘boots in the water’ restoration and/or preservation work. We are able to make an impact because of our passion for the river, and we are very lucky to have dedicated volunteers.” Karen Harrison - Chapter President
