Trout Unlimited Youth Camp Volunteers

“That’ll fish!” I hear Kellen say to the boy who has just reached his fly into the pond, wishing for a passing trout.  Nearby, Alec is helping another young angler tie a fly onto the tippet and explaining to the boy tactics for attracting fish.  Chloe sits with her new best friend watching as the 10-year-old pulls a succession of eager bluegills from the water. Altogether, four Bluebacks helped with the Summer 2024 Clackamas River Chapter Youth Camp which is 10-years running and going strong.  The Bluebacks participated in the four-day camp for children for the first time in 2024 helping to teach the kids about rivers, riparian zones, aquatic invertebrates, sustaining river habitats, and, of course, fishing. This is an important part of the Bluebacks commitment to education, and has continued since.
