NATURAL TUNNEL STATE PARK

KIDS FISHING DAY

April 23, 2011

The Little Stony Creek Chapter recently participated in the Natural Tunnel State Park Kids Fishing Day on Stock Creek in Scott County.  Many kids came out with poles in hand to land their limit of trout for the day.  Most all kids went home with a least one trout and big smiles on their face.  Any kid that did not get to catch a fish did not go home empty handed.  All kids that registered received a prize from Scott County Outdoorsmen, Appalachian Whitetail Association and the state park. 

The Little Stony Creek Chapter participated in the event with help from Bruce Wankel of the Virginia Creeper Fly Shop.  Kids where taught fly casting.  Any kid that took interest in learning the above skills was eligible to win a complete fly rod and reel set.
