FAQ
Question- Is this a real university/Can I get a degree?
Answer- No, this is not a “real” university with bricks and mortar. The information on this website and companion videos is far too practical and useful to be from the world of academia.
Question- Why are you doing this and how did you come up with this idea?
Answer- When we learned to fish, we had to do so from scratch. There were no fishing shows, or internet blogs, and we didn’t know anyone to teach us how. Now that we have years of experience fishing, collaborating, and evaluating, we are ready to share this information to help others learn.
Question- How do I enroll in TroutU University?
Answer- Enrollment is not necessary, simply visit the TroutU site as often as you like; and at your leisure. Take only the courses that are at your appropriate skill level and that capture your interest.
