Just wanted to keep you guys updated on our Trout in the Classroom project.  
We still have about 110 fish swimming, probably going to have to throw some of them out pretty soon to make some more room in the tank - the little ones are really starting to get picked on.

Bearfisherman what school are you doint the program at?

We are at Butler Junior High School, partnered with the Connoquenessing Watershed Alliance.

Its a great program the kids that came to my TU chapter to talk about it really really enjoy it.

Thought you guys would like an update.

A fellow teacher does a genetics experiment with fruit flies.  I thought, what a great use for the flies when he is done with them.  Fish took to them immediately.

How to tie "fruit fly" dry fly on a 32 hook....

nice video the trout look nice and healthy.  

Final update for the year.  94 brookies released in 3 separate releases.  Largest fish of the year just missed 5 inches on the tape. Not bad for less than 7 months from hatching.

How cold does the water need to stay in the tank?

We keep it between 52 and 57 degrees.
