TROUT IN THE CLASSROOM
November 15, 2013
This year marks the 9th season of our awarding winning Trout in the Classroom program. Now almost a decade into the program, it is larger and better than ever! The program will consist of 42 tanks this season in 5 counties - Henry, Franklin, Pittsylvania, Patrick and Rockingham. The program will have all three types of trout again this year, Brooks, Browns and Rainbows, and it is expected the program will reach over 4,000 students this year alone! The students can barely contain themselves as the tanks are being set up, wondering when they are going to get the fish.
