Man was I kicking myself for missing this one last year, totally forgot, I'll have to make it out there for sure this year. I'll also mention it to some boy scouts... Thanks for the heads up!

There is no way to sign up right, it's just one of those events you show up for right?

Registration will take place in the morning as we group up for the morning fishing.

However, if large groups or scout troops plan to attend, I NEED TO KNOW.

Minn Aqua'a representative and myself would like to be adequately prepared!

Thanks Much!!

Trout Day update:

Currently I have 3 different scout pack/troops from SE and South central Mn committed to attend the 4th Annual Trout Day on May 1st.
If you want to bring a troop please get a hold of me, both Minn Aqua and I want to be adequately prepared.

Youth and adults are welcome. You do not have to be part of a troop. ALL ARE WELCOME!

Registration and groupings for fishing will take place from 8:00am - 9:00am.

This will be time to either observe trout fishing or give it a try for yourself.
Troops can earn merit badge from fishing activities provided by Minn Aqua.

"The Last River Rat" Kenny Salwey will be this years guest speaker. Don't miss his wonderful presentation. He will have copies of his book available as well!

Door prize updates.
I am getting in Guided fishing trips from across the state as well as tackle and gear and resort stays.

For those who attended last year. One of the
door prizes most saught after was the print provided by Micah Hanson. He provided an authentic print of his 2003 DNR's Trout stamp winner a beautiful Brown Trout. A very valuable piece. He is donating again this year. I am working on this years winner as well!

Trout Day is FREE, FREE, FREE!!!

More updates to come!!!

Keep the rods bendin'!!

Jim,
I would like to make a cash donation to your event. Maybe you could use it for hot dogs, soda or something. I do this not because I'm swimming in cash but rather because of the time you and all the other folks connected to the event put in to help the kids!
Please e-mail me at [email protected] with details on where to send the money.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Brian

I live in Edina. I hope to be visiting with my first fly rod/reel combo in hand(and a little practice in my muscles), but if I don't have it by then I'll bring down my ultralite set-up.

I haven't fished SE for about 15 years, I can't wait to become addicted all over. I'm going to see if I can drag some of my buddies down there as well. Does it help for you to have a count Jim?

buz,

No count needed except for youth. I figure adults can handle themselves...I hope.

Make sure you come up to me and introduce yourself. I Can be runnning around at times, but I want to meet everyone!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!
