IL TU has dedicated women anglers who are committed to protecting local rivers and following TU's mission to make rivers cleaner, healthier, and more fishable. Evelyn Adams is the Gary Borger Chapter representatives for the TU Women's Initiative. Together with the other 3 TU Chapters in the Illinois Council, they are working to increase involvement by women.   Throughout the state, the women's initiative is partnering with chapters to connect anglers through conservation projects such as river clean ups and engage anglers in fishing outings and clinics to improve technique.  Whether new to the sport or an experienced angler, TU offers opportunities to meet other anglers, participate in projects, and have fun!
