J.W. Adams Combined School - Pound, VA

 

JW Adams Combined School (Pound) will be raising Brown trout for the 2010-2011 school year.

 

The School year started off with Mrs. Atwood's 5th grade class and 7th grade trout team raising Brown trout.   Because of the rough winter and summer of the previous year the brook trout eggs where not available when the program kicked off.

 

A tragic event that resulted in the death of all the brown trout did not give the students a good feeling. However the Marion Hatchery was good enough to provide the school with a replacement of Brook trout.

 

 

They raised the Brook trout until the release date. The students released the trout into Little Stony Creek on May 10^th.
