4th Annual Trout Day

[Paul Waldowski]

This will be the first of many informationals on the 4th Annual Trout Day May 1st, 2004.
To start, it is FREE!!!!! Everyone is welcome.
From youth/children on up. From those who want to learn about trout fishing and the SE MN region to the novice to the "expert".

Brief background:
I created this day to bring outdoor enthusiasts, fisherman of all ages together, learning, sharing and enjoying one of SE MN's
most precious natural resources. Enjoying it in the heart of the Karst region at Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park.

It is not a commercial event. I have fished SE MN well beyond 20 years and wanted to share with others. Call me selfish, but I find it paramount to educate others on the resources. I'd love to take you to my favorite fishing streams and holes, but what would become of such a gesture? I am a trusting individual, but....I think you get the picture.

The more who understand what it's(SE MN Trout Fishing) all about the better chance we all can begin sharing our "honey holes"!

Plus, SE MN has sooooo much to offer in it's pure beauty and excellent fishing. We need to support the DNR in it's fine work, managing many streams creating now the best trout fishing in 30 years!!!!!!

TO dangle a carrot, there will be presentations and activities from Minn Aqua,
the DNR, local "experts" and a real treat this year from a real/true "River Rat".(more on that).

Plus, if you attend, you have a very good chance at winning gear/tackle, certificates, professionally guided fishing trips and resort stays!

DId I say it's Free??????

If you have attended in the past feel free to share your experience and suggestions!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!
