The Bitterroot Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Montana Trout Unlimited offer a one-day Youth Conservation Day Camp on June 11.
The Kids Camp is for ages 11 to 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hieronymus Park in Hamilton. There is a suggested $20 donation to Bitterroot Trout Unlimited. The camp is limited to 12 attendees
Attendees will learn what trout eat, how to “read” a stream to find fish, and how Trout Unlimited works to conserve, protect and restore Montana’s coldwater fisheries. Attendees will be introduced to fly casting and tackle along with learning the skills of knot tying, fly selection, fly-line management and how to land and safely release fish. The day will end with the opportunity to apply what campers learned with time on the water. Campers will have Trout Unlimited members available to help them throughout the day. The program instructor is Bill Piffer of Montana Trout Unlimited.
Anyone with an interest in fly fishing between the ages of 11–14 should attend. No experience is necessary and all fly fishing equipment will be provided. Attendees may bring their own equipment.
Apply by contacting Charlie Harris by email at hmgharris@gmail.com for an application. The deadline is June 1 and applicants will be notified by June 3.
