A reminder that the Wild Trout Celebration is coming up this Sunday at Canyon Creek Resort on April 19, 10-6 PM. This is a family oriented fun and educational celebration of the volunteerism of PCT along with many others groups and clubs who assisted DFW's Heritage and Wild Trout Program team over the past 6 years in collecting the data necessary to make designation a reality.
Please join us for educational games for the kids presented by HWTP staff and presentations for the adults on the designation process, a spawning trout video, and a chance to search for radio tags with the telemetry equipment used in the HTWP's latest fish movement study. Mikey Weir and our own Chris Yama (aka Otter) will discuss gear and techniques. NCCIFFF is providing fly tying demonstrations, and, after lunch, fly fishers can fish the resort property. BBQ food and drink is provided at a nominal cost.
I cannot get the RSVP link active;please RSVP to me directly: SK60@putahcreektrout.org or use this email link:
Here is the schedule for Sunday. In addition the Resort wanted everyone to know that the picnic area, bocce ball and horseshoe pits will be available. Note the late afternoon reception with complimentary wine and beer! Please excuse to bad formatting.
