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

Trout Unlimited members from around the state participated in the annual fundraiser at Bass Pro Shops.

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.
