The 2012 Arizona Native Trout Workshop was sponsored by Arizona Game & Fish Department and the Arizona Trout Unlimited State Council.
**View welcome video from Chris Wood, CEO of Trout Unlimited!
Interested parties gathered in Phoenix to network, to share knowledge, and to develop and promote future plans for native coldwater fish species in Arizona.
This year's meeting was highlighted by presentations on the the devastating effect of wildfires on Arizona's native trout, and on the efforts to restore their natural habitat.
A wealth of information was developed through presentations, breakout sessions and general discussions. The following materials and presentations are now available for free download:

TU and Arizona Game and Fish on the
Use of Rotenone and other Piscicides
The Arizona State Council of Trout Unlimited acknowledges a variety of issues pertaining to the use of piscicides such as rotenone. However, Arizona TU believes that when properly applied the substances can be of significant use in many native trout and salmon restoration efforts.
Two important documents on this issue were recently released by Trout Unlimited and the Arizona Game and Fish Department. They are available for free download here:
- Summary of TU Policy on Piscicide Use in Native Trout and Salmon Restoration
