Fly fishing club students

Fly Fishing Club Field Trip

On March 22nd the Fly Fishing Club traveled to the Neshannock Creek in Volant, PA.  This stream has special regulations in that you can fish for trout all year long. 14 Fly Fishing Club members attended.
Waders were supplied by a grant from The Blackhawk Foundation for students who did not have their own.
12 fly rods were borrowed from Ryan Goldsbarry, owner of Risen Fly Shop.  He also volunteered his time during A and B clubs all school year to instruct us on Fly Fishing basics and accompanied us on our field trip.
