Trout Camp

VERMONT TU TROUT CAMP at Quimby Country June 23-27, 2024 (Sunday – Thursday)

A Lifetime of Fly Fishing begins NOW!

Since 2010 the MadDog Chapter has been organizing on behalf of the Vermont Council, an annual Trout Camp for campers between 13 and 16. They are introduced to the basics of fly fishing through a series of fun and engaging outdoor activities. Participants will learn from some of Vermont’s most accomplished fly anglers and conservationists. They also learn Fly fishing skills covered will include casting, knot craft, fly selection and tying, reading the water, presentation and safe wading. Campers learn about fish biology, fish habitat and stream ecology as well as aquatic entomology. They will explore some of the issues around fishing etiquette and ethics, as well as the conservation issues facing our cold water fisheries. In addition, campers will have the opportunity to participate in a local TU conservation project. Finally, campers have ample opportunity to test their newly acquired skills while fishing the upper Connecticut River and nearby ponds, hopefully catching lots of fish!
