Georgia Council Trout Unlimited Sponsors "Tie-1-On"

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser benefit educational programs around the state.

Trout Unlimited members from around Georgia convened recently at the Lawrenceville Bass Pro Shops for "Tie-1-On," the Georgia Council of Trout Unlimited's annual fundraiser. Proceeds from the event benefit
educational programs at Smithgall Woods State Park in Helen and the 5 Rivers Programs at North Paulding High School, the University of Georgia, Rhinehart College and Young Harris College.

The 5 Rivers Program organizes campus clubs that teach students fly casting and tying along with volunteer stream conservation activities. Students in Trout Unlimited 5 Rivers Clubs have the opportunity to join a sponsoring chapter in their region, lend a young voice, and help shape the future of Trout Unlimited.

See the Georgia Council of Trout Unlimited website for additional information on the organization.
