THE DR. RICHARD J. SCHILLING FUND

Annually each year, the NH TU Council and Chapters across the state team up with the Schilling family and Schilling Beer Company for the NH TU & Dr. R. J. Schilling Community Fly Fishing Festival. Numerous local merchants, businesses and individuals join in the effort to raise funds for the Dr. Richard J. Schilling Foundation, used to send children and buy equipment and supplies for Trout Camp. Please read more about Dr. Richard J. Schilling's passion for fly fishing and his commitment to exposing the value of our sport to our youth here.
