Partner Video: Flowing Free - Recovering native trout and restoring communities in Wisconsin

The national forest in the Northwoods of Wisconsin is crisscrossed by streams filled with fat brookies and dotted with ponds brimming with bass, pike, and walleye. "Flowing Free," a new film from Trout Unlimited, takes you there: Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, home to 1,200 miles of fishable streams and 600 fishable lakes.

You may have trouble saying it, but if you're from Wisconsin and love the outdoors, it's a place not to be missed.

In and around this forest, we're working with state and federal agencies to restore streams before the next flood. Thanks to investments from the likes of FEMA, we can fix basic but costly problems that plague rural communities—and hamper efforts to rebuild native Eastern brook trout strongholds.

Watch now as we restore waters and recover fisheries on America's public lands, for today and for the long run.
