The Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum will soon announce the 2012 dates for the Environmental Education Programs. This is the 24nd year of educational and recreational activities offered to youngsters at the Center. The programs are designed to instill an appreciation for the environment in general, and more specifically, the water environment. The hands on approach to learning in a natural setting makes the learning fun!
The curriculum includes instruction in stream ecology, entomology, freshwater biology, and the environmental issues resulting from acid rain, as well as the fundamentals of the sport of fly fishing.
Due to the popularity of the programs and class size being limited to twenty students, it is advisable to register early. Tuition includes overnight camping and meals for the weekend sessions. Mid-Hudson TU funds scholarships for this program.

GET HOOKED ON FISHING DAY 2011
The photos below were taken at the annual "Get Hooked on Fishing" day last year at Morgan Lake in Poughkeepsie and was enjoyed by hundreds of youths over the two days. Our chapter supports this program through a donation towards the fish stocking and provides assistance and education during the event itself. This year the event will be held on April 30 and May 1.
2010 MOE MOUL FISHING DERBY in RED HOOK
April 10th 2010, Mid Hudson Trout Unlimited attended the Moe Moul fishing contest for kids. A table was set up by Joe Rist & Steve Little. Steve did tying demonstrations and casting for all youths participating. Roughly 115 kids attended the event, and 600 Rainbows and Brookies were stocked in the Saw Kill by the Red Hook Rod and Gun club. Seemed like most kids had smiles on their faces as rods were being bent by 16 and 18 inch fish. A very organized event by the Gun club and the community of Red hook. Mid Hudson TU donated monies in helping the future of young Anglers.
