Trout Unlimited of California has announced its second annual Sierra Trout Camp. This weekend event will be held July 6-7th, 2013 at the internationally renowned UC Berkeley Sagehen Creek Field Station located on Sagehen Creek, just 10 miles north of Truckee, CA.
Sierra Trout Camp is designed to give kids an awareness, appreciation and understanding of the importance of our nation’s aquatic resources with an emphasis on conservation, protection and restoration of cold water ecosystems. Participants will learn how to fish and tie their own flies. They will also learn about stream ecology, cutthroat trout restoration, stream physics and chemistry, fishing etiquette and aquatic entomology.
Girls and boys 9 to 11 years of age are eligible to apply. Trout Unlimited will accept a total of 15 participants. Applications are now being accepted and must be submitted no later than April 31, 2013. For more information, contact Adam Butler with Trout Unlimited at (760) 920-8667 or at abutler@tu.org.
