Please consider making a donation to Hickory TU Trout in the Classroom program. Each year it costs us about $2000 to continue the current schools and an
additional $2000 for adding a new school. We currently have 6 schools and 7 classrooms in the program and each spring take them to the river to release the fish and have them search the river bottom
for the bugs the trout eat in addition to fly casting, fly tying, and other programs.
