BRTU Fly-Fishing Day Camp set for June 11.

  • Hieronymus Park Pond West River Road Hamilton, MT 59840 USA (map)

For the second year in a row Montana TU's Education Director Bill Pfeiffer will be the instructor at a BRTU Sponsored fly-fishing day camp for boys and girls between 10 and 15 years old. Bill is a very experienced teacher and the response at last year's camp was very positive.

This year the camp will be held on Saturday, June 11 at the Hieronymus Park pond in Hamilton. Incidentally, this is the pond where the Trout in the Classroom trout were released last month.

The class will cover what trout eat, stream entomology, fly selection, fly casting and finish off with some fishing. Participants may bring their own flyrods, but there will be rods available for those that don't have a rod.

The class is limited to 10 students between the ages of 10 and 15, so people are encouraged to sign up soon! Permission from a parent or guardian will be required.

The cost is a recommended $20 donation. Lunch will be provided and there will be a few prizes.

Please contact Charlie Harris (434-962-6065) or Dave Ward (406-241-3903) to sign up, if you have questions or to volunteer.
