Brown Trout

     

After asking them how do you think fish find food & they said Seeing, Smelling & I explained that they use their Lateral Line also showing them one of my Flipp'n Jigs & showed them the rattle  & passed around a Chigger Craw to let them smell it.

I talked about a few lure they could use at the up coming Teeswater Kids Derby & showed they my Grand Daughters fishing rod, tackle box & a few of their lures for catching Panfish & Bass, Rowan was happy I brought her Fishing Rod & Tackle Box. We talked about Colors & I showed them different shapes of baits like worms, crayfish, minnows, frogs & let them stretch a few Zero stick baits, they liked them that much I left a pack for them to play with, by the end of the day they managed to break a few by pulling them too far lol.

Then it was time to show the Class how big their Hatchery Salmon could be in 4 years when it's time for them to Spawn. 

Very easy to fill the best part of an hour.
