Trout in the Classroom Day October 24, 2023
Hacklebarney TU is currently participating in the Trout in the Classroom program. We deliver trout fry and/or eggs to participating schools in our geographic area. We consult with teachers on proper conditions for the fry and then help the students release the fish into the wild. If you would like more information on this program, please contact Rich Cotter.
The kids were so excited they met our members outside.
You have to feel great when you donate your time and get a reception like this! Kids waiting, with hand cut and decorated trout on their hats.
Hacklebarney offers instruction on Fly tying and on the basics of fly fishing yearly. Both classes are taught by current members. Well get you tying your on flies and catching fish with them in short order. The classes are very affordable too.
